Ed Krayewski on Russia as Geopolitical Foe

During
the 2012 campaign, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney
called Russia America’s “number one geopolitical foe,” an
observation that yielded him ridicule from his Democrat detractors.
Then-Senator John Kerry made a joke about Romney living in the
world of Rocky IV, a comment the Obama campaign even turned into a
“movie poster.” In 2014, John Kerry, now the secretary of state,
has resorted to having to tell Russian President Vladmir Putin that
when it comes to Ukraine “this is not Rocky IV.” So was Mitt Romney
right? Yes and no, writes Ed Krayewski. Russia may be a
geopolitical force, but it’s not America’s foe.
