Sarah Palin wasn’t the only one to foresee the events now unfolding in Ukraine. Quite a few remember the third presidential debate in October 2012, during which Mitt Romney was ridiculed for his “stuck in the 1980s” foreign policy.

Not only do we remember; we have the video.

So have any of the reporters that made fun of Mitt Romney for his concern over Russia apologized yet? #HoldingMyBreath

They skewered Romney for having a foreign policy of the 80s, as we see Obama show his from the 1930s. #Russia #appeasement

Quick question for the media: Which geopolitical situation HASN'T Russia been involved in since you laughed at Mitt Romney in 2012?

SAY IT, Media. SAY IT. Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin were right about Russia. SAY IT, MFERS!

In some alternate universe, Prez Romney is giving a statement that says something like: 'As I stated during the campaign…'

POTUS really ought to add Mitt Romney to his cabinet. Romney's words are prophetic & WH is looking particularly incompetent now.

@danabrams Admit it. Romney's statement was a "gaffe" only in the smug fever swamps of self-appointed media "experts."

Sounds like Mitt Romney understood Russia back in 2012 when Obama was telling Vladimir he"d be "more flexible" in his second term.

Looking back.. everything Romney said during the debates came to be true… What could have been…

I'm waiting for Candy Crowley to rule that, no, Obama did not in fact tell Romney that the Cold War was "over".

POTUS told Romney things would change with Russia. They hit reset button and got to start new cold war, Snowden, Syria, Ukrine. HUSTLED

I don't know what pisses people off more; Russia exerting raw military aggression in Ukraine or Romney being right after all.
