    That was definitely McCain doing it. However Romney did call out Russia being our greatest threat still and Obama mocked him in the debate for it. 2 years later they “annexed” Crimea and 10 years later they cause the largest war in Europe. Obama failed on international policy regarding a lot of “enemies” and either underestimating them or treating them with kid gloves in the hope of improving relations.

      Romney was wrong then and he is wrong now.

      The greatest threat is and was China. Russia does not have the means to directly compete with the United States.

        China isn’t desperate enough to invade half of Europe and threaten to nuke everyone, though.
