In 2012, Obama Mocked Gov. Mitt Romney For Warning That Russia Was The Biggest Geopolitical Threat Facing The U.S., Saying, “The 1980s Are Now Calling To Ask For Their Foreign Policy Back Because The Cold War Has Been Over For 20 Years.” “BARACK OBAMA: “Governor Romney, I’m glad that you recognize that al Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago, when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia – not al Qaeda – you said Russia. And the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.” (Barack Obama, 2012 Presidential Debate, Boca Raton, FL, 10/22/12)
