John McCain slams prospect of Trump ‘reset’ with Russia
The Washington Times ^ | November 15, 2016 | Guy Taylor

Posted on 11/15/2016 3:25:47 PM PST by McGruff

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 week’s 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 America’s allies and attempted to undermine America’s elections.”

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

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.

McCain needs to retire. He has always been part of the problem.
