As U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heads to Russia, the timing could not be more critical. Clinton will be meeting with both Dmitry Medvedev and Sergey Lavrov to discuss the Iranian nuclear issue, the situation in Afghanistan, the Middle East peace process, and a successor agreement to the START Treaty. Some experts say Ms. Clinton should also take into account that Russia could play a role in mediating various situations in the Middle East. RT's Dina Gusovsky speaks to Russian scholar, lawyer, and professor Ethan Burger.
