Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain issued a sharp warning Tuesday against the prospect of reset in U.S.-Russia relations a day after President-elect Donald Trump engaged in an extensive phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mr. McCain, who switched back and forth between supporting and criticizing Mr. Trump ahead of last weeks election, said in a statement that he distrusts Mr. Putin, and the idea of pandering to Russia will come at a high price for U.S. interests in the Middle East and beyond.
With the U.S. presidential transition underway, Vladimir Putin has said in recent days that he wants to improve relations with the United States, Mr. McCain said. We should place as much faith in such statements as any other made by a former KGB agent who has plunged his country into tyranny, murdered his political opponents, invaded his neighbors, threatened Americas allies and attempted to undermine Americas elections.

It’s bad enough to have his daughter on Fox News, but here in AZ we have to suffer through her AM radio show every evening. I urge those of you within earshot to post requests on local affiliates to get her off the air, it’s God awful. Give me Savage and Alex Jones any day over McCain
The most hated person in the US Senate. That’s really saying something in a Senate that includes Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and Linda Graham.
Thanks for that list.
Ummm...yeah McCain. Obama’s policies have strengthened Russia and allowed them to expand. Nice try.
President Trump and Putin can just get Juan to go back to Syria and identify the “good” rebels again and everything will work out fine
Who reelected this dope?
“Arizona should have primaried this fool.”
We tried, but he gets crossovers.
John McCain is one of the weirdest politicians that I know of. He fought in Vietnam. He was shot down more than once. He was involved in the Forestal fire. He was a POW for years. In the 80’s he claims that all POWs are accounted for. He ran a presidential campaign against Obama, where he seems like he lost on purpose. During obama’s presidency, he supported every military suggestion in Washington.
It says online he is 80yrs old !
so not sure how much longer.
McCain has made backstabbing his own side the cornerstone of his carrier.
He is one of the fools that got us involved in this Syria mess. I will not forget the photo op with his terrorist friends. Proven bad judgement.
So it starts. Now McCain will be on every Sunday morning talking head show for years on end trashing Trump non-stop.
Some folks yap. Some folks do.
Poor John, being seen as a traitor for arming terrorists... not a way I’d want to go out.
Exactly. Why are you on Trump’s team anyway? He must not know your history, McCain.
that about says it all...
That is a really nasty comment, but it made me laugh anyway.
“There was an old Magnum P.I. episode titled something like Did you see the sunrise this morning?.”
One of the best episodes ever in the Magnum PI series...I think it was two parts. Here you go...

Since McCain would get us all killed, given the chance, this is wonderful to hear!
