Whatever the country’s shortcomings, can someone please tell me why John McCain is also trying to pick a fight with Russia?

I would figure you'd try to tie this into the drop in oil some how?

McCain has only one tool, war ,so he sees everything in terms of conflict.

Too bad Obama did not have time to visit Moscow. How awesome a photo op would have been with BHO watching one of those cool Missile Parades in front of the Kremlin. While at it, BHO could put on one of those hip Russian fur hats!



The Russians WANT to be out friends, don't you get it? We just like ticking them off...oh because it fun!



Naturally the libs will declare that we are wrong, bad and aliented from the rest of the world because we are putting up ANTI misile efense sytems in Eastern Europe, so of course the Russians have the right to start using Cuba for showing OFFENSIVE might.



So while BHO sucks up to any foreign country, telling them we apologize for all that is wrong in the world, McCain just MIGHT be thinking of Security. My gosh, how so last century!



A well informed military-diplomatic official in Moscow told CBS News Thursday that Russian strategic bombers "could use an airfield in Cuba for refueling during flights for air patrol over the Atlantic." The source spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic.

So once tensions are barely starting to ease with Iran, McBush is going to rachet up tensions with yet another major oil producing country, potentially driving up prices AGAIN.

My how last administration. That'll be sure to win him some votes in the wingnut realm, but hardly anywhere else. rolleyes.gif

Honestly, I read nothing in the article to indicate that McCain was "picking fights" with Russia, as Gil states. Furthermore, Gil asks why? The article mentions that McCain has criticized Russian and said they should be out of G8 because they do not meet democracy standards...what is so wrong with this? Is it that truth hurts?
