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:

This vile man needs to be removed from all GOP leadership positions.

Loose lips sink ships.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Vladimir Putin a bigger threat than Islamic State, John McCain says, GOPJ wrote:
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’?
He would be impeached for no reason beyond the left flexing its considerable muscle.
How John. How did they try? By hacking into ballot machines? God, is he this stupid or thinks we are.
Is that one located in Phoenix?
You make VERY good points, putting it all into perspective. Thanks!
Thanks TX
Can you imagine how ludicrous it would be if 28 ‘member countries’ banded together to ‘contain’ Italy? Spending billions of taxpayer money for ‘defense’ against say Canada?
Also important to remember that in World War II Russians stood with us AGAINST THE GERMANS. The same deadbeat Germans who are now stiffing us at NATO... and probably double dealing with Iran behind our backs...

“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.
