During the 2012 presidential election, recently announced 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden downplayed the threat posed by Russia and heralded the Barack Obama administration’s “Russian reset.”
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney ran on a Russia-skeptical platform. After Obama was caught on an open mic promising his Russian counterpart “flexibility” following the election, Romney lamented that, “This is without question our number one geopolitical foe, they fight for every cause for the world’s worst actors. The idea that he has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed.”
When asked about those comments on CBS’s Face the Nation, then-Vice President Biden defended Russia and cast Romney as a warmonger stuck in the past.
“Governor Romney’s answer I thought was incredibly revealing. He acts like he thinks the Cold War is still on, Russia is still our major adversary. I don’t know where he has been,” Biden said.
“I mean, we have disagreements with Russia, but they’re united with us on Iran…” he continued. “One of only two ways we’re getting material into Afghanistan to our troops is through Russia. They’re working closely with us. They have just said to Europe, if there is an oil shutdown in any way in the Gulf, they’ll consider increasing oil supplies to Europe. That’s not—this is not 1956.” more here
Shut up Mitt.
That is all.
Yea, they weren’t “with us” on Iran either. Iran is their proxy and nuclear reactors customer who funded and participated in the Iraq insurgency.
Same with trusting Russia to remove all of Syria’s chemical weapons after John Kerry’s idiot flub giving them an out if they showed they disarmed in a week.
Same with Hillary Clinton okaying the uranium deal after they gave her foundation $100M.
Russia is our enemy. China is our enemy.
But Democrats are the enemy within and like to personally enrich themselves while they threaten our national security.
