Romney calls Russia enemy number one

Share:

Mitt Romney, a U.S. presidential candidate from the Republican Party, said Russia is “number one geopolitical foe” for the United States, CNN reported on Tuesday.

In an interview with CNN Romney said that Russia “lines up with the world’s worst actors” including Syria and Iran.

“Russia continues to support Syria. It supports Iran, has – has fought us with the crippling sanctions we wanted to have the world put in place against Iran. Russia is not a friendly character on the world stage,” Romney was quoted as saying.

He also blasted recent talks of U.S. President Barack Obama with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev at the nuclear security summit in Seoul on Monday.

“The actions he’s taken so far, which he says are to reset relations with Russia have not worked out at all,” Romney said adding that Obama’s words to Medvedev about flexibility are “alarming and troubling.”

CNN reported that President Obama was caught on an open mike saying to Medevedev “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

“Russia is the geopolitical foe… and the idea that our president… is planning on doing something with them that he’s not willing to tell the American people before the election is something I find very, very alarming,” Romney said.

The election is scheduled for November 2012 and the inauguration of the new president will be in January 2013. According to the latest poll results, President Obama holds the edge and is the favorite to win.

Obama described the meeting with Medvedev in Seoul as highly productive, noting achievements in the last three years including the strategic nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. He also accepted an invitation from Medvedev to visit Russia after the U.S. presidential elections.

    Well these views are common to hear from right-wing demagogues like Romney, Gingrich and McCain.

      It does not matter… The person at the top ALWAYS works for the collective octopus… no matter what his/her color is.

      His fight right now is to get the top of a party that all sound like dunderheads on TV news-bits. And then there’s the ‘debates’ of course. They say anything to be there. Weirdest system … just hope they learn something about the world before becoming president … if that’s possible.

  3. Mitt Romney is nothing but a right wing conservative narrow minded ass. He
    has been barking for way too long now and not once had ever spoken of what he is
    willing to do to take the country onto a better path.

    President Obama once told politicians that we can not keep doing the same
    thing and expect different results. People like Mitt Romney, John McCain, the
    house speaker baehner are like little children who all they know to say is NO to
    every idea that president Obama offered them to move the country forward. The
    right wing coalition wanted as tjhey once said, (To take their country back to
    the wrightful people), and I don’t think they meant any other the the white
    narrow minded people.

    Regardless who wins the election in November, I believe that Mitt Romney is
    not fit to be a leader, and not even fit to be a custodian… If you want to
    call Russia is number one enemy becasue  “lines up with the world’s worst
    actors” including Syria and Iran., so much can be argued about the United states
    being an enemy in its own way fro lining up with Israel, Marcus of the
    Phillipine and so many other foriegn countries that did not perform any better
    than those countries that Mitt Romney is naming. So Mr. Mitt Romney, what ae you
    going to do if you become president, start the cold war all over???? What are
    you going to do about the United States blind support for Israel? Are you going
    to sing the (bomb iran) song played by another narrow minded idiot by the name
    of John McCain!!!!

    but most of all Mr. Mitt Romney, why don’t you just shut the heel up, and go
    back to the caves you came from!!!!!!! You will be doing this country and the
    the world a grea favor.
