1. Obama Replays Sick Middle School Burn In response, Obama mocked Romneys statement: The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold Wars been over for 20 years.
2. Clinton: Its So Last Season To Be Concerned About Russia Hillary Clinton got in on the action, saying it was somewhat dated to be worried about Russia.
The self-titled pantsuit aficionado should probably stop judging other people for doing things that are dated, am I right?
3.Joe Biden: It May Be A Gaffe; I Would Know Vice President Joe Biden suggested Romneys assertion mightve been either a slip of the tongue, or an indication that he belongs to a small group of Cold War holdovers.
4.John Kerry: Bro, Have You Even Seen Rocky Balboa? Secretary of State John Kerry suggested during the 2012 Democratic National Convention the former Massachusetts governors understanding of Russian relations was gleaned from Cold-War era flicks.
Mitt Romney talks like hes only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV, he said.
5. MSNBC: Russia Is Our BFF! MSNBCs Chris Matthews and Rachael Maddow both mocked Obamas then-opponent, claiming he was merely trying to copy Ronald Reagan.
He read about Reagans private, outside-the-CIA cabal of team-B zealots who were telling him that Russia had all the stuff they didnt have so he could justify a giant defense budget, Maddow said.
I dont know what decade this guys living in, Matthews said. Is he trying to play Ronald Reagan here, or what?
You can watch clips of their comments in full here.

Trump, in Warsaw Speech, Criticizes Russias Destabilizing Role in Ukraine, Syria
The president also reaffirmed his commitment to NATOs mutual-defense pact
Jul 6, 2017
President Trump called Russia a destabilizing influence in Europe and the Middle East, and urged it to join the community of responsible nations, in his strongest remarks yet against the regime of Vladimir Putin, whom he is scheduled to meet Friday in Hamburg for the first time.
His remarks in Warsaws Krasinski Square, which marks the 1944 Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, came after the U.S. agreed to sell Patriot missiles to Poland. The president also used the opportunity to reiterate the NATO commitment to mutual defense, a declaration he did not make during the NATO summit in May, prompting consternation among U.S. allies wary of Russias ambitions.
To those who would criticize our tough stance, I would point out that the United States has demonstratednot merely with its words but with its actionsthat we stand firmly behind Article 5, the mutual-defense commitment, Trump said Thursday. Words are easy, but actions are what matters. And for its own protection, Europe, and you know this, everybody knows this, everybody has to know this, Europe must do more.
Trump has repeatedly said NATO members must spend more on defensea position in line with past U.S. administrations. But he has been criticized because he appeared to suggest U.S. commitment to mutual defense was predicated on its allies defense spending. ...

Donald Trump: Putin has eaten Obamas lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time
Mar 13, 2014
Eun Kyung Kim: TODAY SHOW (NBC)
Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to show his manhood.
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obamas lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time, Trump said. ...

Mike Pence on Russia:
(from the VP debate on Oct 5, 2016)
-snip-
What were dealing with is the you know, theres an old proverb that says the Russian bear never dies, it just hibernates.
And the truth of the matter is, the weak and feckless foreign policy of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has awakened an aggression in Russia that first appeared a few years ago with their move in Georgia, now their move into Crimea, now their move into the wider Middle East.
So you have to ask yourself, was therefor a lax view of Russia when Obama won therefore opening the doors to Russia’s tinkering about with out and eyes popping open?
So what happened in Nov 2016 that made them the evil empire (again) where they had been dissed as an inconsequential power for the previous 8 years (Hint: Hitlery lost)
Milt can go to hell.

RINOmney should be mocked regularly, for any reason - real or fake - because he is a liberal idiot.

The web brigades, also known as Russias troll army, Russian bots, Kremlinbots,[1] troll factory,[2][3] or troll farms are state-sponsored anonymous Internet political commentators and trolls linked to the Russian government.
Participants report that they are organized into teams and groups of commentators that participate in Russian and international political blogs and Internet forums using sockpuppets and large-scale orchestrated trolling and disinformation campaigns to promote pro-Putin and pro-Russian propaganda.[4][5][6][7]
It has also been found that articles on Russian Wikipedia concerning the MH17 crash and the 2014 Ukraine conflict were targeted by Russian internet propaganda outlets.[8][9][10]

Romney is the quintessential Democrat in an R jersey who wanted Hillary to beat Trump.
He is helping the Starbucks CEO raise money to take on Trump in 2020.
Too many Morons in Utah to prevent him from taking McCain’s spot as transparty freakshow.
No fan of Romney, but he certainty was right about Russia being a serious threat, directly and indirectly. Trump and Pence both expressed an even greater concern.
Commie SOB Obama was in cahoots with Putin and Russia from even before the 2008 election...

Obama Pledges Cuts in Missile Defense, Space, and Nuclear Weapons Programs
February 29, 2008 :: News
MissileThreat.com
A video has surfaced of Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama talking on his plans for strategic issues such as nuclear weapons and missile defense.
The full text from the video, as released, reads as follows:
Thanks so much for the Caucus4Priorities, for the great work you’ve been doing. As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand with Caucus4Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington.
First, I’ll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.[i.e. not win it]
Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.
I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.
And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.
Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.
You know where I stand. I’ve fought for open, ethical and accountable government my entire public life. I don’t switch positions or make promises that can’t be kept. I don’t posture on defense policy and I don’t take money from federal lobbyists for powerful defense contractors. As president, my sole priority for defense spending will be protecting the American people. Thanks so much.

“MissileThreat.com is a project of The Claremont Institute devoted to understanding and promoting the requirements for the strategic defense of the United States.”
Romney and the Bush League Republicans are a greater threat to US than Russia.
We will not have a country to defend if they are not stopped.
Both present serious threats, but no right-thinking, knowledgeable person would equate the degree, let alone claim that Russia is the lesser one.
We are 30 years and 30 million people into the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
We are at the tipping point.
If we do not reverse the bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders and restore the rule of law, we won’t have a country to defend from the Russians, Chinese or anyone else. The Spanish speaking people already colonizing it will have already taken it.
Yes, we are at war on many fronts. But we can’t sit back and twiddle our thumbs while the Russians basically restore the evil empire, and then-some.
