Russia number 1 geopolitical threat: Mitt Romney.

Mitt must have been asleep on this one. America wants to disengage abroad and he wants to pick a fight!!!

There's big money to be made in that fight.

Russia has lots of oil.

Bigger than that, they have a natural gas corner on the markets of the easstern bloc, including EU countries. Russia has squeezed the Ukraine and others in recent years on gas supplies.

The last time we had someone that felt this way was George W. Bush. Because of the focus on Russia and China..the focus was taken off the "mosquitoes" as Bush called them..and one of those "mosquitoes" was able to pull off the greatest foreign terror attack in history.

As a New Yorker..it's scary when you hear someone talk like this. Boehner even took him out the the woodshed..

I think its china, with russia being 2nd.

I also think you trying to say that his comments mean that as president his decisions will lead to another 9/11 type of event are bogus. Blaming bush for 9/11 is stupid too, sure he holds some responsibility but our policies over the decades prior to bush are what really led to the ability of the people who attacked us to do so.

Yeah..like his father's administrations arming and training the muj..you know..Osama Bin Laden and the gang.

Yup and like how Carter just ignored them and Regan/bush armed them then clinton ignored them almost as much as Carter, but not as badly....exactly.

Is This Thing On?
The worst "hot mic" blunders of all time...



Microphones caught Obama telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev after a meeting in Seoul that he would have more "flexibility" to deal with issues such as missile defense after the U.S. presidential election.

Here's a transcript and video of the exchange, per ABC News:

Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it's important for him to give me space.

Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you...

Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.

Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

Obama confirming what we all suspected, his ideas on what is good for America's foreign policy are bad for America in general.

Exactly

We need Russia's support to resolve conflicts in Iran and N Korea. It is hard for a President to negotiate with a country he has declared our greatest enemy

We still have a military more powerful than the next ten nations combined

Carter armed them too..which I considered a mistake...but his goal was different. Harrass not "win". Reagan/Bush changed that to "win". Clinton actually went after Bin Laden, but was cut off at the knees by Republicans who didn't get a clear verification from the CIA he was involved with the Cole. So they left him with missiles instead of Special Ops. In any case..Republicans thought it was a distraction.

Not putting up missle defenses when nations such as Iran are developing intercontinental nuclear weapons abilities is bad for america.

His comments to the russian president showed that if he gets re-elected he will be willing to do away with what we are supposedly planning on doing for missle defense in the near future.

That really happened.

How many thank you cards should I send to the DNC? Democrats gave them licensees and blocked our agencies from communicating threats.

You have become the forever apologist.

Russia and China are serious threats to US hegemony.

Hmm.."hegemony".

A purty term for "Empire".

Just as the founder's intended, right?

Obama’s Slip Won’t Let Russia Veto Europe Missile Defense



^^editorial, which is not a stinkgrenade-lobbing, fearmongering, campaign piece, therefore boring.

Yes.

And we can destroy the world's biosphere 25xs over.

Catch up.
