Seems the only time anyone mentions Mit Romney and Russia in a sentence is to talk about the one time Obama “mocked” him about who was a greater danger, Russia or China. I still think it’s China but it depends on how you phrase any question.

If I'm remembering that debate correctly, that Obama zinger was in context (or parallel to, memory is a bit hazy) of a disingenuous point Romney was trying to make about the size of the navy/military readiness. Obama was obviously no dummy and that response was partly trolling Putin (you're a third-rate competitor no matter how much you try to punch above your weight). In retrospect it is now a slightly embarrassing quip but you are correct, Obama's greater point about China being a bigger threat than Russia still rings true today.
