Romney is living in another time, damn.
Medvedev Calls Out Romney For Russia Comment - Forbes
Mitt Romney cannot possibly be serious. To call Russia our number one foe this week was a step back in time. But thats one time machine Russian leadership doesnt want to travel in.
People in their 30s and early 40s probably remember Flavor Flav from the rap group Public Enemy. He wore a clock around his neck because he knew what time it was. Someone has to get the former Massachusetts governor one of those.
Romney told Wolf Blitzer on Monday that, Russia, this is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe. They fight every cause for the worlds worst actors.
Romney was referring to the fact that Russia has been against U.N. sanctions on Libya, Iran, and Syria. And joined with China (and others) against the war in Iraq.
But to say Russia was Americas biggest geopolitical foe was a stretch. And not how Washington sees it. On Monday, President Barack Obama met with Russian president Dmitry Medvedev at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, who said that the two countries have never been closer.
So after hearing Romneys comment, Medvedev said from Seoul, This number one foe type of phrase smacks of Hollywood. Then he issued a warning to Washington White House contenders: I would advise all pretenders to the U.S. presidency to use their heads. This is not a bad thing for a presidential candidate.
