Better late than never, though, right? Guess we’ll take what we can get.

Back in 2012, libs mocked presidential candidate Mitt Romney mercilessly after he called Russia “our number one geopolitical foe.” It only took well over a year and a diplomatic clusterfark to prove him right, and today, it’s The New Republic’s turn to eat crow:

Mitt Romney was right about Russia: http://t.co/toDyb1GKrJ — Isaac Chotiner (@IChotiner) March 3, 2014

Everybody laughed at Romney then, but @ichotiner says Mitt was exactly right about #Russia: http://t.co/C3hqu7yTQQ — The New Republic (@tnr) March 3, 2014

After reprinting the portion of the interview during which Romney made his Russia remark, TNR’s Isaac Chotiner issued the following pronouncement:

“This all seems … exactly right.”

Gee, ya think?
