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.
