will boost Tehran’s ability to surveil military targets, officials say
Call this what it is: Russia is giving a state sponsor of terrorism an advanced tech platform that it will use to bring more destabilization to the Middle East. The President must give a clear-eyed rebuke of Russia’s behavior when he meets with Putin. https://t.co/gG241lFPAQ

used Mitt Romney's tweet for the above story not because I necessarily agree or not with what he said, but because I was on his feed and see he also has been doing a bit of a tweetstorm on China and the Uighurs. And I wanted to share those without having to start another thread, I thought they were important to note coming from an establishment faction of the current GOP:
China has largely been able to hide the genocide of the Uyghur people from the world at large. This is unacceptable. Free countries around the world must speak out against the Chinese Communist Party's grave human rights abuses—it's the only way to stop the genocide. pic.twitter.com/MVCtXVuaHo

What the Chinese Communist Party is perpetrating on the Uyghur people is atrocity not seen or imagined coming from a nation in our era—concentration camps, forced labor, Uyghur women being raped by Han Chinese men. The world must not turn a blind eye to these horrific actions. pic.twitter.com/JPQZosNIi9

The Chinese Communist Party is successfully orchestrating the deportation of Uyghurs—and not just political activists—from other countries to conceal their human rights abuses. The lengths at which the CCP will go to keep the Uyghur genocide under wraps should alarm the world. pic.twitter.com/FENHO6dI3A

He also tweeted this the same day:
The Administration's announcement of donating 500 million COVID vaccines to countries in desperate need is exactly the role the U.S. should be playing in this global pandemic. I spoke with @StateDept this morning, and they understand the urgency of the global vaccination effort.

I went further back and see he is also working with Sen. Markey to look into "growing" the relationship with Taiwan:
The U.S. partnership with Taiwan continues to grow despite the Chinese Communist Party's efforts to isolate Taiwan from the world. @SenMarkey and I will hold a @SenateForeign subcommittee hearing next week to explore ways to grow this critical partnership. https://t.co/1EpwYCQnmu

and retweeted this anti-Putin message
Clearly very globalist and interventionist.
