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:
Vladimir Putin is not altogether immune to reason and negotiations, while the leaders of ISIS have no interest in either negotiating or listening to reason. One side or the other must die, is the way ISIS looks at things, and they intend to be so fierce that the other side just curls up, submits, and gets slaughtered anyway. Or they die trying.
We have no business being either allies or enemies of the Russian Federation. We may from time to time have common goals, and for those purposes, we can come to a (perhaps uneasy) truce with each other to defeat the common foe. But nothing lasting or irreversible could ever come of such a diplomatic or military conjoining.
How, Johnnie?
Just HOW is Putin a threat to ththe USA??
Furthermore, just HOW is it that you have ONLY NOW come up with this notion?? Putin has been in power for HOW long??
This proves that McCain should have been sent to the glue factory YEARS ago. His brain is oatmeal.
It’s a personal struggle to not give an ex-POW a pass for many things that I would not give others. But McCain used up his passes so long ago that I can’t even remember when. I have no respect left for this man whatsover.
This jackass is mentally ill.
John Mc Cain is a bigger threat to this country than Putin will ever be.
John McCain’s behavior is that of a very frightened man. Corrupt politicians ought to be afraid. There is something about Donald Trump that scares them to death. Interesting.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. McCain is corrupt and there is tons of dirt on him. Trump needs to get it and let McCain know he has it. McCain is a tool of the left, and he needs to be brought in to our side. Or it can be revealed and he can resign. The battle against the deep state will be long and dirty.
Russian has a smaller GDP (’Gross Domestic Product) than France.
Smaller than Italy’s, smaller than Brazil and Canada.
This is what McCain freaks out about?
The most powerful countries in the world banding together against a country poorer than Italy?
The “BIG FEAR OF RUSSIA” is the equivalent of ‘Climate Change’ - except it’s a cash cow for crooked elites on ‘our side’... McCain and Linda must be milking this idiocy big time...

So says one of the creators of ISIS. He’s butt hurt that his army is getting smashed by Mattis.
If Trump is ever impeached this flake will be among the first to convict. A petition should be circulated requesting McCain switch party affiliation.
Somebody ...Please !
Jiggle the handle on the Toilet
So this Turd Can Be Flushed!
Drain the Swamp!
” it’s the Russians who tried to destroy the fundamental of democracy and that is to change the outcome of an American election,””
And your proof of that, McAnus?
“A petition should be circulated requesting McCain switch party affiliation.”
..along with Susan Collins!
AT the very least. Can't this babbling idiot just be sent home on the grounds of senility?
Someone put that senile idiot out in the pasture.
He might have had, but it shrunk to pea-size
He left it at the Hanoi Hilton.
Impeached for what? Being Donald?
Russian has a smaller GDP (’Gross Domestic Product) than France.
Smaller than Italy’s, smaller than Brazil and Canada.
This is what McCain freaks out about?
The most powerful countries in the world banding together against Russia - a country poorer than Italy? Why? What’s in it for McCain and other ‘world elites’?
“BIG Russia Fear” is the equivalent of ‘Climate Change’ - except it’s a cash cow for crooked elites on ‘our side’... and endless BIG funding for the corrupt “Deep State”. McCain and Linda must be milking this idiocy big time.
Oh, and excessive funding allocations for fighting Russia? It’s the reason we ‘missed’ the Boston bombing, Orlando slaughter and San Bernardino terror attack ... Too busy playing cowboys with the Russians. ISIS is a bigger threat... and Germany and European deadbeats who stiff us and work bad trade deals against the United States are a bigger threat too.
Wake up John McCain - you’re an idiot.
