Medvedev blasts Mitt Romney at the Seoul nuke security conference. - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has rebuked US presidential hopeful Mitt Romney for saying Russia is the "number one geopolitical foe" of the US. [B]Mr Romney made the comments while criticising President Barack Obama for appearing to suggest a future deal with Russia on the issue of missile defence.[/B] [B]Mr Medvedev said Mr Romney's comments "smelled of Hollywood" and advised him to "use his head".[/B] Moscow has long opposed US plans for a missile defence system in Europe. In remarks caught by TV cameras on Monday during a summit in Seoul, Mr Obama had appeared to suggest to Mr Medvedev that he would have more "flexibility" on difficult issues such as missile defence after November's US presidential election. [B]In an interview with CNN, Mr Romney had called Mr Obama's remarks "alarming" and "troubling". "If he's planning on doing more and suggests to Russia that he has things he's willing to do with them, he's not willing to tell the American people - this is to Russia, this is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe," Mr Romney said. In response, Mr Medvedev said: "I recommend that all US presidential candidates... do at least two things: that they use their head and consult their reason when they formulate their positions, and that they check the time - it is now 2012, not the mid-1970s.[/B] "As for ideological cliches, I always get nervous when one side or the other starts using phrases such as 'enemy number one' and so on." Moscow is used to being singled out as "the wicked witch of the east" by American politicians, says the BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow. US President Ronald Reagan once described the Soviet Union as "the evil empire".[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17526572"]Hypersource[/URL] Looks like Obama has a new friend, Obama and Medvedev always seemed like good friends.

Romney bringing out the McCarthyism, nice.

And a powerful friend at that, just hope American citizens listen to the "use your head" part

Oh snap!

Damn, Medvedev just burned Romney all over. [quote]and that they check the time - it is now 2012, not the mid-1970s.[/quote] That might be my favorite part.

Guys, let's purposely breed bad relations with powerful foreign nations! America first! :downs:

How can these people even be part of the election? It's scary as hell and I'm in Norway.

Don't take it too personally Medvedev, Romney hasn't spoken a single honest sentence since the primaries started.

Friends with Russia, sounds very nice. I hope that we can build a strong bond between us in the future.
