During an August 8 appearance on CNN's The Lead, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) said Russia's recent actions toward the U.S. have "reset" relations and put the two countries back on Cold War footing.
According to McCain, "The Russians have reset, they've reset alright--back to about 1955."

McCain is nuts. Is this about Snowden?
There’s a great interview with Putin here where he says that Snowden didn’t reveal anything he didn’t already know:

You want to know why, John?
Because of Clinton’s stupid Kosovo venture, where you were practically begging him to nuke Belgrade.
McCain is senile to the core. He is fruitier than fruit salad and nuttier than a Pecan tree.
Another thanks to Obama.
Just in time for big time budget cuts in the military. Great planning these jerks are in government today.
And American blue-red relations are back on a civil-war footing thanks to Obama and you republicrats McLame.
Who's flying the plane? Who is in charge of our foreign policy? Who in a matter of just over four years has managed to turn out own government against even it's own citizens. Well McCain he could not have done all this without your consistent help. Now aren't you proud of the accomplishments I just mentioned? You John McCain helped make it all possible. never forget that.
Yup, good thing we scrapped the F22 program.
Shut up, John. I don’t care what it is, you’re not helping.
As a loyal, tax-paying American, I am calling for your immediate resignation, Senator McCain.
You are an utterly worthless POS! and your continued “service” is a detriment to the republic.
Words of wisdom from one of mac daddies loyal sock puppets.
I don’t think the cold war ever truly ended, it just got a little colder. Now Russia is oil rich and we’re in debt up to our eyeballs walking a fine line between solvent and unsolvent. Funny how things can get turned around.
I would maintain that McCain’s understanding is at best random and that people less peerceptive than me would have been able to discern this definitive direction at least five years ago per the letter below that I wrote and no one published.

Subject: Russia Resumes the Cold War
As Russian forces crossed South Ossetia into Georgia, the moment arrived for inescapable acknowledgement that Putin revoked the Cold War armistice. Russian military justifications contains too many parallels to list to Hitler’s concern for Sudeten Germans in Czechoslovakia. This extravagant attack examples traditional Russian ruling elite neurotic insecurity; neurosis requiring rival power destruction, and never allowing political compromise.
Genetic, multi-millennial paranoia infects the current cabal to regard NATO, former Warsaw Pack countries, and former Soviet republics as encircling enemies. Such perceptions, not shared by Russian people, repudiate years of Western support for emerging Russian representative government, political security, and economic stability.
There can be no permanent peaceful coexistence with a totalitarian Russia, but neither is war inevitable. Illogics lead this cabal onto unacceptable paths, but these Russian elites remain highly susceptible to logics of force with determination to use it. Forceful initiatives require immediately curtailing efforts to integrate the former Soviet Union into the economic, cultural, and political life of the Free World. Next initiatives require increasingly serious discussions of cooperation between NATO, and former Warsaw Pack countries and former Soviet republics. Finally, the United States must update Cold War plans through cooperative military exercises in Europe and the Mediterranean.
Such progressive, consecutive initiatives establish negotiating positions Putin must consider. Effective containment will reveal the fragility of a totalitarian rule needing solidification within a disaffected, cynical population. The West must not reject this opportunity to make the cruel subjection of Georgia become Putin’s undoing.
At least then we knew who our enemy was.
Hey Keating 5 John....http://www.johnspeedie.com/healy/shutup.wav
I worry about John. he seems to be losing his senses.
I’m not getting any sense of animosity from Putin other than what Obama has earned.
“We have nothing to fear from a Barack Obama presidency.” ~John McCain, October 2008
Regardless of McCain’s involvement, that is one heck of a “reset”!
The 0 administration is very suspect at this point. Much earlier on it was easier to accept that it was stupidity and not malice. Now, it is much easier to believe that this bunch views “fundamentally transforming America” as “destroying America for all intents and purposes”. The cuts and proposed cuts to our nuclear weapons programs, along with a reticence to proceed with modernization (that was agreed to by the Dems) are damning in their own right.
I also agree with an earlier poster about the F-22 program, it’s looking like quite a bargain compared with the F-35.
Palin ‘16! (well I can dream can’t I?)
Don’t Tread On Me!!!
