McCain slams Putin on Snowden- "he continues to stick his thumb in our eye"

Sen. John McCain weighed in on the Edward Snowden saga on Tuesday, saying that Russia's actions in the wake of the accused National Security Agency leaker's reported arrival in Moscow harkens back to the Cold War.

"It's reminiscent of the days of the Cold War, when you hear a Russian spokesman saying that [Snowden’s] not in Russia when every shred of evidence indicates that he is,” McCain said on CNN. “We've got to start dealing with Vladimir Putin in a realistic fashion for what he is. He’s an old KGB colonel apparatchik that dreams of the days of the Russian empire, and he continues to stick his thumb in our eye in a broad variety of ways. Most importantly to me, of course, and should be to the world, is their continued support of [Syrian President] Bashar al Assad and the massacre taking place in Syria."

"Putin always seems almost eager to stick a finger in the eye of the United States—whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with Snowden," New York Sen. Charles Schumer said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Allies are supposed to treat each other in decent ways."

” And now,old and even more foolish, with a bored beer baroness 2d wife, he is now a world class jerk. Witness his support of the Christian-massacring “rebels” in Syria. Who TF votes for this superannuated anus? “

Unfortunately, the average voter doesn’t know McCain, or his sordid past. We do, but most don’t He also spent 20 million to defeat Hayworth.

That’s not even an exaggeration.

See my #59. The long-term strategic play for Russian advantage is for Putin to ship Snowden directly to DC. This, more than anything, would finally put a fork in the notion that the US is now anything more than a police state.

If they get away with this they can get away with anything.

They already have - do you see any calls for investigations, an oversight committee, legislative action, etc? Allowing DC to making an example of Snowden would destroy the national psyche of those who have any remaining patriotism and launch the inevitable decline & dissolution of the USA. All favorable trends for Russia.

In other words, unlike America, Russia won’t sell out their long time allies in favor of jihadists.

—— McCain, Schumer, and Hussein can cry all they want, but Putin doesn’t give a s-—. He is the strong one and they are afraid of him, so they jump up and down and cry. -——

Unlike the other two dopes, Zero is happy to see the U.S. diminished. He’s struggling to show any concern.

I think John McCain is getting his gay hatred/revenge on America.

"He’s an old KGB colonel apparatchik that dreams of the days of the Russian empire,..."

Well, there goes globalism.

"...and he continues to stick his thumb in our eye in a broad variety of ways."

Looks like an issue of pride in special constituents who wanted to rule the world.

Yet McCain keeps sticking his thumb in America’s eye.

“Sen. John McCain’s long-standing, but little-noticed association with donors such as George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry is receiving new attention among his Republican critics.

“In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.”

don’t forget that McCain has ties to the kla a Muslim terrorist group in Serbia that burned down 800 churches and slaughtered Christians and McCain was a huge advocate of invading Serbia which resulted in Kosovo becoming a Muslim state in europe while it has always been a christian one (the muzzies just killed all the christians there) Mccain has a history of supporting christian killing muslims
