Rocky Anderson on Foreign Policy Justice Party challenger for President; former mayor of Salt Lake City

Build relationships instead of imperialist foreign policy

ROMNEY: First of all, Russia, I indicated, is a geopolitical foe, not [a national security threat]. It's a geopolitical foe. In the same paragraph, I said Iran is the greatest national security threat we face. Russia does continue to battle us in the UN time and time again.

ANDERSON: We need to start building friendly relationships with these nations and not go around with the kinds of belligerence where not only do we attack these countries, but Mitt Romney calling Russia our greatest geopolitical foe, for heaven's sakes, when we ought to be working with Russia to bring about a peaceful resolution of what's happening in Syria. So, this is a holistic problem with an imperialist foreign policy that we have to turn around, and the American people can see to it if we join together.

The US should always listen to other countries

A: Anderson chose "The US should always listen to other countries before pursuing its own interests" rather than:
• The US should always act in its own interest regardless of what other countries think
• The US should rarely listen to other countries
• The US should listen to other countries more often than not
