I said, give me the cf (link)..and I'll take a look at it, and I will comment.
That does not change the OP and Obama's ignorant stance on Russia, and Romney understanding the threat, as far back as 2012 as Schmo said.

Makes you wonder why Romney isn't screaming about Russian interference now and leading the charge on the GOP side toward impeachment, given his deep insight into the Russian threat.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

No, Romney's remark had nothing to do with assuming Russia was attacking us in any way. For Romney this was a response to Obama's "more flexibility" comment and the Right Wing media treated it as if this were evidence Obama had a body in the trunk of his car. Romney jumped on that bandwagon and called Russia our greatest geopolitical foe for the sole purpose of exaggerating the scandal behind Obama's quip. When asked to explain if he thought Russia was the greatest threat, he started waffling:
"I'm saying in terms of a geopolitical opponent, the nation that lines up with the world's worst actors," Romney said. "Of course the greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran, and a nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough. But when these terrible actors pursue their course in the world and we go to the United Nations looking for ways to stop them ... who is it that always stands up with the world's worst actors? It's always Russia, typically with China alongside. And so in terms of a geopolitical foe, a nation that's on the Security Council that has the heft of the Security Council, and is of course is a massive nuclear power, Russia is the geopolitical foe."
Romney came up with the argument that Russia is the worst geopolitical foe because they "always line up with bad actors." It had nothing to do with Russia engaged in cyber attacks against our democracy. You have to be a special kind of idiot to say that's what Romney meant.

Nor did I say that, I said threat Kevin, Obama was a very weak president in regards to foreign policy and naïve with regards to Russia.

It would appear that by all objective measures, the leadership situation for both has only grown worse.

Conversations usually work best when you clearly respond to something I said or shared. This is the equivalent of impatiently not listening to someone so one can repeat what they have said already.
The first page had a discussion that was in response to the Romney-Obama debate quote. I linked to part of it. What in EA's comment or my reply do you wish to comment on?

Send me a link where Trump did what you asserted, basically what you or EA is basing your assertion on, so I can respond without guessing? You said something sure, but you did not give me a cf...
I am on my phone, but if I remember correctly you wrote, paraphrasing....Trump knew about it, but did nothing, the report is 400 pages...CFR please so I can take a look.

Wut?
Dude. It's on page one of this thread at the bottom. The link to the post is on page two. You can go read it. It's the first post I made. There's nothing in it about Trump. It's about Obama and the Romney debate.
Sometimes I really wonder...

Re: Obama on Russia: Who can’t Forget!
This is what you asked....
I am asking you for a cf for this...what page in the report is it on?
The last page of the first page is a post by KG, with no cf? You linked a post, on page two, with no cf? I am asking you for a cf for your assertion, which I assume is in the report. Give me a cf, and then I will tell you whether I have a concern of not.
How is Trump not going to the FBI with what Russia was attempting to do not a major concern for you?

Hmmm. You asked if EA, Mak or I had "read" the OP and were reminded it was discussed on page 1. But now you want the evidence from the Mueller report showing Trump didn't go to the FBI to inform them of Russia's attempts to influence the election? That's like asking for the article at ESPN that shows they employ sports reporters by stating they employ sports reporters.
