Liberal magazine admits Mitt Romney was right about Russia

 When he was running for president in 2012 Mitt Romney called Russia America’s number one geopolitical foe:

“Russia…is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe.  They fight every cause for the world’s worst actors…But when these—these terrible actors pursue their course in the world and we go to the United Nations looking for ways to stop them, when—when Assad, for instance, is murdering his own people, we go—we go to the United Nations, and who is it that always stands up for the world’s worst actors? It is always Russia, typically with China alongside,” Romney said in a 2012 interview during his presidential campaign.

  Of course he was roundly ridiculed by the propaganda arm of the Obama regime, otherwise known as the mainstream media:

“Governor Romney offered his judgment today that Russia is our nation’s number one geopolitical foe. This conclusion, as outdated as his ideas on the economy, energy needs, and social issues, is left over from the last century. Does Governor Romney believe that a Cold War foreign policy is the right course in the twenty-first century?,” said former Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig in a statement distributed by the Democratic National Committee and featured on the blog of liberal anchor Rachel Maddow.

“I don’t know what decade this guy is living. It sounds like ’72, ’52 even. It’s not Stalin over there. It’s not Khrushchev. It’s not Brezhnev. It’s [Dmitry] Medvedev,” said red-faced MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews.

“If Mitt Romney has his way, the military-industrial complex will get its beloved Cold War back,” cried The Nation magazine.

  Barack Obama went so far as to mock Mitt Romney in a debate:

“the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back. Because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.”

  In light of the recent events in Russia and Ukraine a liberal magazine was forced to admit that Mitt Romney was right all along:

Since the interview, Syria’s Bashar Assad used chemical weapons against his own people and China has come out “in agreement” with Russia’s invasion of Crimea.

“This all seems…exactly right,” Isaac Chotiner admitted Monday for The New Republic..

  This, of course, comes on the heels of the revelation that Sarah Palin was right when she predicted Russia would invade Ukraine if Barack Obama was elected:

“Yes, I could see this one from Alaska,” 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin recently wrote on Facebook. “I’m usually not one to Told-Ya-So, but I did, despite my accurate prediction being derided as ‘an extremely far-fetched scenario’ by the ‘high-brow’ Foreign Policy magazine.

“Here’s what this ‘stupid’ ‘insipid woman’ predicted back in 2008,” Palin continued, quoting her previous comments. “‘After the Russian Army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama‘s reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia’s Putin to invade Ukraine next.’”

  It seems to me that both Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin have a better grasp on world affairs than does Barack Obama and the mainstream media. And I am saying this as neither a fan of Mitt Romney nor of Sarah Palin.
