McCain Says Russia Is Bigger Threat Than Islamic State

CANBERRA, Australia—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, Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) said during a visit to Australia.

Mr. 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.”

McCain is an idiot.

The DNC email leak didn’t undermine the democratic foundation of anything?

Who was it who said that a well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny?

Being away from Lindsey Graham is the biggest threat for McCain.

The people who publicize McCain’s madness are the same people who claim Trump is unhinged.

McVain is a psychotic fraud. Can’t believe we are still stuck with this clown as a US Senator.

Even if the “Russia hacked DNC” allegations might be true, that acually PROMOTED true democratic values (small ‘d’) because the public got to find out some true FACTS about the squalid leadership of the Democrap Party and the MSM.

McCain is proof positive of a Dark State with an agenda that strives to bring US citizens to our knees. How else can it be explained that he has not been charged with war crimes with regard to weapons and support getting to ISIS? Why are there no loved ones or a group of politicians who put the USA first not getting him locked up in a padded cell for the rest of his insane life?

Nero pales in comparison to this maniac.

JMHO

John McCain has over stayed his time in Congress by many years.

He daily destroys any “Hero” status he had..I have NO respect for him what so ever..I regret the vote I cast for him, but to be truthful I was voting for the VP candidate, Sarah Palin, and I would vote for her again today if she ever ran again...

John needs to retire, at age 81 his grey matter is disappearing very fast...

John McAnus (R-Defense Contractor)

This lunatic wants us in another World War.

His Arab Spring worked out wonderfully.

China, Iran and North Korea aren’t a threat either.
