Mitt Romney Blames "Shortsightedness" of President Trump's America First Policies Following Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
2022-02-24
Mitt Romney released a statement on Twitter last night after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Romney blamed the "shortsightedness" of President Trump’s policy of America First after news of the invasion.



Breitbart.com reported:
"Putin’s impunity predictably follows our tepid response to his previous horrors in Georgia and Crimea, our naive efforts at a one-sided ’reset’ and the shortsightedness of ’America First,’" Romney said in a statement released on social media Wednesday evening.

Romney’s statement hinted at Biden’s attempt to "reset" the relationship with Russia at the beginning of his term, but more aggressively criticized Trump’s "America First" foreign policy.

The Utah senator, and failed presidential candidate, also took a shot at former President Barack Obama who beat him in 2012 for the presidency.

"The ’80s called’ and we didn’t answer," Romney said, referring to a moment in the 2012 presidential debate when Obama dismissed his concerns about the threat that Russia posed to the world.
Under Trump, Putin did not make any additional significant actions against Ukraine, although he annexed Crimea in 2014 under former President Barack Obama’s administration when Biden was vice president.

#10  The one chance he had to look good because of his comments on Russia back during his election when the left pooh-poohed it as old style nonsense and he screws it up.

Trump hatred is like meth. They just can't resist.

#6  Mitt Romney, so stunning! So brave!

Then why did he post on an anonymous account? Now that it is mentioned, how many other hidden accounts does this multi-millionaire public servant have?

Putin loving H8R!

#1  So why did Putin only try taking land during Obumble and Briandead's terms? Maybe Trump made it very clear that Russia would have to face the US if it did anything.

I don't see this as Trump's fault. I see it as you and your ilk's weakness and cowardness that emboldens tyrants.

Fuck off and die, Mitt.
