May I offer this from current events...

"“There will probably be raised eyebrows in Washington,” Lilit Gevorgyan, a Russia analyst at IHS Global Insight in London, said today by phone. “His refusal may be taken as a sign that Russia under Putin will indeed be more inward looking and favor a tougher foreign policy.”

Putin

This quote was referring to the snub given to Obama and the US because Putin will not be coming to the Group of Eight conference here in the USA.

"The U.S.-led NATO project to build a missile shield in Europe is one issue that may raise tensions under the new Putin term. Russia says the shield, which should be fully operational by around 2020, is a threat to its national security and has demanded legal guarantees that the system will not be used against it."

MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS WHY YOU AIM THIS NOTE AT ROMNEY WHEN OBAMA HAS FAILED WITH RUSSIA ? WHY DO YOU NOT QUESTION HIM ?

you mention nowhere how he stands but I will be glad to share somethings.


This from last fall...

"Last week, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee began confirmation hearings for Michael McFaul, nominated as U.S. Ambassador to Russia.

McFaul’s statements on U.S.–Russia relations expose the Obama Administration’s failing international strategy as well as disconcerting flaws in the President’s policy toward Russia.

McFaul is the architect of the much-publicized U.S.–Russia “reset.” For the Obama Administration, “reset” is simply another chapter in the doctrine of “leading from behind,” which Colin Dueck, a foreign policy scholar and professor at George Mason University, called “a policy of accommodation.”

Problems with Obama

There is a lot more out there, but you do not explain how Obama is handling Russia.

I will be honest, and I may be unfair, but this forum has absolutely no use for me if you dont discuss issues starting at a fair level. If every thread is be an test on Romney, FORGET IT. If you can discuss an issue without trying to put anyone on here on the defensive I am in but this is a very insincere thread made around finding another way to criticize Romney.

FRANKLY, Taltarzac725.....and I hope you take this the right way..report me if you want, but as a result of all these NON ISSUES....ROMNEY THIS AND ROMNEY THAT threads, I have put a number of folks on ignore and am this close to doing that to you...which I know will not hurt you but I just want you to know how I am accepting the crude attempts to discredit a man who is not even yet the candidate.

YES...I criticize OBAMA...he happens to be the President and makes policy...This is totally different.....these are talking points from Democratic readers in an attempt to go negative right away on Romney. I am not about to get sucked into yours and others games.

If you want a thread to discuss how we should handle Russia and thus we can compare BOTH policies...that is fine but I will not be a part of what some of you are trying to do.
