also what kind of sicko question is that

Fairly normal one (for American standards) I remember Obama saying China was the threat in a debate against Romney in 2012. Romney of course said "nuclear armed Iran" as was the style at the time.

i thought that was when Romney started warmongering against Russia and the Democrats all laughed at him.

This is a major psychological moment for the neocons who feel they have been vindicated in their russia hate in 2014/2016/2022, despite mockery

You recall correctly, I got my order of events mixed up. Romney said that about Iran on Wolf Blitzer's show after getting clowned on for saying Russia in that debate.

There was also McCain saying he wanted to use nukes on Iran during a debate with Obama. My expression immediately became: ಠ_ಠ
