Romney's "Cold War Mindset"
Republicans, Democrats And Russians All Have Suggested Romney Was “Stuck In A Cold War Mind-Set.” “Mitt Romney’s recent declaration that Russia is America’s top geopolitical adversary drew raised eyebrows and worse from many Democrats, some Republicans and the Russians themselves, all of whom suggested that Mr. Romney was misguidedly stuck in a cold war mind-set. But his statement was not off the cuff — and it was not the first time Mr. Romney had stirred debate over his hawkish views on Russia.” [New York Times, 5/11/12]
Constantly Referred to Russia as "the Soviets"
“The Romney Team … Seemed Dated” On Foreign Policy With References To “Soviets” And “Czechoslovakia.” “Still, it was the Romney team that seemed dated. Pierre Prosper, who was an ambassador handling war-crimes issues for President George W. Bush, accused Mr. Obama of appeasing Russia by abandoning plans to put a missile defense site in ‘Czechoslovakia’ — a nation that has not existed since the early 1990s. John F. Lehman, a secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration, said the ‘Soviets’ were capitalizing on Mr. Obama’s weakening of the American military.” [New York Times, 4/26/12]
