Former failed GOP Presidential and current Senator from Utah Mitt Romney attempted to claim vindication for his insistence during the 2012 campaign that Russia was America’s biggest geopolitical threat.
As The Daily Wire reports:
Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) reacted quickly to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that Russian forces would be starting a “special military operation” into Ukraine, claiming the action is “without justification, without provocation and without honor.” However, Romney also faulted the United States’ foreign policy and handling of Russia’s aggression over the last two decades.
On Wednesday night, The Daily Wire reported that U.S. Senator Marco Rubio announced the “Russian invasion” had begun, a statement confirmed shortly after by Putin in a nationwide address:

“It is without justification, without provocation and without honor. Putin’s impunity predictably follows our tepid response to his previous horrors in Georgia and Crimea, our naive efforts at a one-sided ‘reset,’ and the shortsightedness of ‘America First,’” Romney said, referencing Russian behavior and the United States’ response under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.
“The ’80s called’ and we didn’t answer,” Romney also added, referring to Obama’s one-liner during a 2012 presidential debate in which Obama ridiculed Romney for suggesting that Russia was America’s number one geo-political foe.
Has Romney been right all along about Russia? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Mitt Romney is trying to insert himself into the conversation by stating that he is some kind of international relations savant. He isn’t! Our nation was weakened in the eyes of the world under Odumbo and Trump brought us back to the level of fear and respect that the US deserved. That amazing situation was all but trashed the day the announced the false election of Bidummy. The only reason Russia is doing this now is because he knows America has the weakest, most feeble president ever. Putin has no fear or respect for Bidummy at all.
WOW! Romney was right about Russia . . . . that still doesn’t qualify him for Senate, much less, the White House. Romney couldn’t even show up to vote last week to end COVID-related mandates yet he wants to be the leader of the USA?
You know why Russia is dangerous Mitt? Because of RINOs like you whom allow people like Putin and Ping to do whatever they want!
LISTEN UP…AMERICA’S THREATS…CHINA…RUSSIA…IRAN…N.KOREA…FOREIGN TERRORISTS and the DEMOCRATS. THEY ALL SHED INNOCENT BLOOD. From SamuraiQueen. 😢😢😢😩😩😩 P.S. The GOOD NEWS….It Will BACKFIRE on Their OWN HEADS.
If Romney was so sure he was right at that time, why did he weasel down to Obuma instead of standing up to him during their debate? Mitt came across as small and scared back then. Still very wimpy like all Rinos.
Nope, it’s still China dude. Russia is doing what has been requested by the people living in Ukraine that wish to rejoin Russia because of the corruption caused by money laundering and shady deals by the Biden’s, Clinton’s and all their buddies that have been playing around there for many years. China is still our biggest threat.
Demoncrats are America’s worst enemy !!! They just proved it again since LIEden got illegally installed as puppet president.
All I have to say to Mittens is:
STFU, NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU THINK OR HAVE TO SAY!
You’re a traitor to your country, it’s citizenry and mostly so to your constituents. Soooooo, please go away quietly and wait to be voted out at the end of your term.
10,000 UP votes for you!!
Thank you, but I believe it to be true.
Even a broken clock is right two times a day.
But the world didn’t like when Trump was President. He was so obnoxious that he asked the United Nations and NATO to pay their past due bills. The world likes us much better now that Biden is in charge and things went back to the way they used to be, which is the American taxpayer pays for everyone. Thanks Joe and all you who voted for him.
