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.”

The jackass. I despise Obama, but I think McCain would have been even worse. I regret ever voting for him.
Yes, I seem to recall it was 2 parts. I’ll check it out later. I watched the whole thing, but only about 5-6 months ago. Never had seen it before.
Bo Svenson really did a good job of making you (the viewer) hate him.
McCain played a part in Benghazi????? Sorry to be so dumb but how?
McCain....shut up.
You were broken by the enemy and made to say things that weren’t true.
Not saying that I don’t respect your sacrifice, but you were broken.
You should never hold a position of authority. You gave up. So give up again. Resign.
Dear Mr. McCain... GO PI$$ UP A ROPE!
Shut up and go back home old man
bingo!
McCain is a man without a compass.
McCain is the American Zhirinovsky.
he distrusts Mr. Putin
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Would be no surprise to me to learn that this POS is more distrusted and more hated then Putin by the majority of Americans.
McLane should be institutionalized.
“Our interest in the Middle East should be the Jews of Israel and the Christians of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq...and elsewhere.”
We have an interest in stability. The unstable countries we created over their are hotbeds for terrorists.
Backing Assad in Syria would be a good start, along with finding a brutal dictator for all the other countries in chaos.
And we need to support Sisi in Egypt too.
Muslims and democracy are like oil and water.
The old geezer is a wacko as Hillary.
I really hope Juan McQueeg reads Free Republic and will take our advice, TO EAT SH!T AND DIE.
What are you going to use her for?
BACON, HAM, PORK LOIN, or just WHOLE HOG.
His Daddy was an Admiral.
Uh, OK John. Thanks for the tip. Keep your radio tuned. Hanoi will be calling. Keep listening for it. What’s the frequency?
I was thinking Hawaiian style. Apple and all.
McCain insists on proving beyond a shadow of doubt that he’s a RINO...he should change parties, but he’s far too dubious to do so.
