Putin ‘Grateful’ To Romney

Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday said he was "grateful" to Mitt Romney for saying Russia remained the United States' “No. 1 geopolitical foe” because the remark actually helped Putin in missile defense negotiations, reports ABC News:

“I’m grateful to him (Romney) for formulating his stance so clearly because he has once again proven the correctness of our approach to missile defense problems,” Putin told reporters, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

“The most important thing for us is that even if he doesn’t win now, he or a person with similar views may come to power in four years. We must take that into consideration while dealing with security issues for a long perspective,” he said, speaking after a meeting with Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, according to Interfax news agency.

1. Romney is itching for a war

and Putin will give him one too. He would mop Romney in a micro second.

2. Putin's comments

seem almost mocking:

“The most important thing for us is that even if he doesn’t win now, he or a person with similar views may come to power in four years....

Then there is Medvedev:

After Romney’s “geopolitical foe” comment last spring, Medvedev chided him for being stuck in the 1970s.

Mitt is an ass!
