"This is to Russia, this is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on March 26, 2012. "They fight every cause for the world’s worst actors. The idea that [President Barack Obama] has some more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling, indeed."
Pressed by Blitzer, Romney then said the "greatest threat" America faced was a nuclear-armed Iran. But the perceived damage was done.

To: All
China is our biggest geopolitical enemy , the problem is that most of our politicians work for them. We could turn Russia into an ally fairly easily if we wanted, China not so much.

China is out number one threat.
Romney lost on purpose.

It was like saying to a car salesman; “I’ll have more money to spend after payday”.

Elections have Consequences
And they elected a complete moron, who speaks of Quartermasters in the Lingerie section.
Biden has tether to his past actions, promises, defeats, and bungles.
He says anything - and the DC Press Corp applauds and covers for his condition.

An attempt here to resurrect the image of a RINO.
Look and the source and understand their utlimate purpose is to pump up RINO’s.

Jennifer Griffin and Dana Perino like to blame this on Trump even though there’s no road to get there from here.
It’s begs the Question, why aren’t Jennifer and the TV Talking Heads pointing to Biden’s former policies and beliefs on Russia and Putin?
How about Kerry, McCain, Graham, Clinton, Biden, and Obama and those that crafted the US Foreign Policy for decades?
This is like blaming Trump for inflation in 1978.
