Medvedev: Romney's anti-Russia comment smacks of Hollywood
SEOUL - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday a comment by US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, branding Russia the "number one geopolitical foe," smacked of Hollywood.Romney was speaking on CNN in response to a conversation in Seoul on missile defense between Medvedev and US President Barack Obama."Regarding ideological clichés, every time this or that side uses phrases like @@@enemy number one@@@, this always alarms me, this smells of Hollywood and certain times (of the past)," Medvedev said at the end of a nuclear security summit in the South Korean capital."I would recommend all US presidential candidates ... to do two things. First, when phrasing their position one needs to use one@@@s head, one@@@s good reason, which would not do harm to a presidential candidate. "Also, (one needs to) look at his watch: we are in 2012 and not the mid-1970s."ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AM
