Mitt Romney: Russia Is 'Our Number One Geopolitical Foe'? Over al Qaeda? Over Iran?
Mitt Romney: 'Russia is our number one geopolitical foe' - English pravda.ru
"I would recommend all U.S. presidential candidates ... do two things. First, when phrasing their position one needs to use one's head, one's good reason, which would not do harm to a presidential candidate.
"Also, (one needs to) look at his watch: we are in 2012 and not the mid-1970s."
A senior lawmaker from Putin's ruling party said Romney's remark went "far deeper" than political posturing, warning a Republican win would likely revive a "line of confrontation with Russia" rooted in the administration of George W. Bush.
"It's clear that this is a new edition of the old doctrine of American hegemony, and Romney is not alone in this approach," said Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the international affairs committee in the State Duma, the lower parliament house.
"There is a whole group of senators who specialize in promoting the idea of U.S. domination of world affairs and ... in anti-Russian themes," he told a news conference.
"The Republicans are going with the ideology of George Bush and John McCain, in essence, and on this basis they want to return to power. And that's the problem."
