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.

McCain seems to be hell bent starting a WW with Russia. But fortunately, he will have no say in a Trump administration.

I have never liked this man....he gave up his fellow prisoners. He cannot fly a jet. He left his wife while she was ill for the his new one. I forget what fortune she owns.

Who said anything about trusting. There’s that old Russian saying:
Verify, and even then don’t trust, but proceed as if trusting, but with eyes open at all times.

Wow - McCain really wants a war with Russia.
BTW - haven’t our dear allies Saudi Arabia invaded their neighbors - in Yemen and Bahrain?

‘You want to continue the Cold War and send US forces to challenge Russia over SYRIA while pretending to bomb ISIS which McCain helped to create and support?’
As good a summary as it’s possible to post.
