He seems a titch confused.
Mr. Romney signaled his stance toward Russia two years ago, when he argued that the New Start missile treaty with Russia should be rejected, putting him at odds with a long line of former Republican secretaries of state and defense. A number of arms control specialists said they were startled by some of Mr. Romneys assertions, like fretting about intercontinental ballistic missiles mounted on bombers.
It would be really fun to watch a Russian bomber with an SS-25 strung to its stomach try to take off, said Steve Pifer, a former American ambassador to Ukraine and now director of the Arms Control Initiative at the Brookings Institution. Some of the arguments just left people scratching their heads.
Within hours, rebuttal pieces to Mr. Romneys position, laid out in an op-ed article in The Washington Post, were being circulated among arms control experts. Mr. Lugar, who had spent decades working on arms control issues, publicly disparaged some of Mr. Romneys arguments as discredited objections.
