John McCain Warns The World: “Democracy-Destroying” Russia Is Bigger Threat Than “Terrible ISIS”
Wall Street Journal via zerohedge.com via Newz Sentinel ^ | May 29, 2017 | By Rob Taylor Wall Street Journal

While visiting Australia, outspoken warmonger Sen. John McCain told ABC TV that Russia is a bigger security threat than Islamic State, based on its willingness to challenge the democratic foundations of the U.S. by interfering in elections.

The visit to Australia by the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee was part of an Asia tour to outline a blueprint for the U.S. to invest nearly $8 billion bulking up its military presence in the region by upgrading infrastructure, conducting additional exercises and deploying more forces and ships. Mr. McCain’s visit also was aimed at reassuring allies about U.S. willingness to remain engaged in Asia, both as a check against China’s increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea and on North Korea’s nuclear program.

As The Wall Street Journal reports, McCain, who was in Australia to discuss Asia-Pacific security issues, said Russian President Vladimir Putin was the “premier” challenge to American security.

“I think ISIS can do terrible things and I worry a lot about what is happening with the Muslim faith,” he told Australian ABC state television Monday.

“But it’s the Russians who tried to destroy the very fundamental of democracy, and that is to change the outcome of an American election.”

It seems the arch-neocon just cannot get his story straight as McCain recently walked back comments that the controversy surrounding investigations into potential collusion between associates of President Donald Trump and the Russian government had reached “Watergate size and scale,” saying he had seen no evidence Russia had succeeded in swaying the U.S. presidential-election process.

“But they tried and they are still trying,” he said on Monday.

That kind of thinking from McCain is a bigger threat than Russia.

And he really believes that?

Gobsmacked here.

Islam has a positive spiritual evil about it that modern Russia doesn’t even come close to. Is McCain still fighting the Cold War?

MCCAIN needs an evaluation to see if he is fit for office. He is delusional.

I get the biggest kick out of this blowhard.
How many elections has it been shown that America “interfered” in?
Why is it suddenly the worst crime known to humanity?
Oh yes... because John hates Trump & hates the Russians and wants to feel powerful by forcing America into a war.

“But it’s the Russians who tried to destroy the very fundamental of democracy, and that is to change the outcome of an American election.”

It seems to me the DNC and their operatives are closer to doing this than the Russians.

Today, someone choked to death on their food. Why them? Why not this a hole?

I laugh when I think how Trump had his number from day one. Damn straight he is no hero.

McCain must have something to hide and wants to get out ahead of it.
