Incidentally, when Romney called Russia the United States' biggest threat in 2012 it was also cause for mockery: washingtonpost.com/news/fact-chec…
The facts about U.S.-Russia relations have since changed, but some of the fundamental questions about how to preserve peace in a world dominated by a handful of nuclear-armed nations remain roughly the same.
It's food for thought for liberals excited to see Romney -- whose non-partisan institutionalism is genuinely admirable -- breaking with Trump on Russia.

I should say Romney credits McCain for the line and also points to China as a more significant threat to U.S. interests.
