The Republican also admitted in an exclusive interview with 7.30 that President Donald Trump sometimes made him "nervous".
During a visit to Canberra, Senator McCain said Mr Putin was the "premier and most important threat, more so than ISIS".
"I think ISIS can do terrible things. But it's the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election," he said.
"I've seen no evidence they succeeded, but they tried and they are still trying to change elections.
"They just tried to affect the outcome of the French election. So I view Vladimir Putin — who has dismembered Ukraine, a sovereign nation, who is putting pressure on the Baltics — I view the Russians as the far greatest challenge that we have."
He said the US needed to respond to Russia with sanctions.
"We have done nothing since the election last November to respond to Vladimir Putin's attempt to change the outcome of our elections. So, way to go Vladimir. We haven't responded at all," he said.
"Hopefully when we get back from recess the Senate will enact sanctions on Russia."
Here's some of his thoughts on other topics:
Did McCain ever have half a brain? It’s still missing.
So, Putin makes him “nervous” but not ISIS?
Yeah? What are you doing about either, Juan?
Time for another diaper change. The fumes are getting to him.
Russia is our greatest challenge? Russia was the only thing standing between ISIS and the rest of the world when Obungo was president and Hitlary was massaging Al Bagdaddy’s toes.
Proverbs 29:20
Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
I guess we should be encouraged that Senarito McCainez considers isis a threat at all.
AZ needs to fire him so he can go back to his ISIS buds and see how long it takes before they remove his head.
Can their be a bigger clown than this fool? Do you think he asked Vladimir if he could say this to deflect his own alliances with the Russians?
John McCain and his merry band of cheap labor importers and jihadi supporters, Graham, Rubio, etc., are more of a threat than Putin.
They are enemies inside the wire.
From the guy who does photo ops with terrorists.
McCain obviously believes it’s the seriousness of the charges too. I’m sure he’d be happy to have worked with Cankles and forget about Seth Rich.
Putin is certainly not America friend, but he’s not going to send waves of terrorist with the goal of killing as many infidels as possible like ISIS would like too..
McCain has lost his mind...
Maybe the VC can give it back to him...
What a pathetic fool!
He’s a liberal Democrat and he needs to be kicked out of the Republican party. It’s outrageous this guy has been allowed to keep this up for so long.
McCain, ever the ass.
Juan, aka, Soros buttboy.
Has McCain ever said anything about the evil that is Hitlary?
Dry up McCain !
