John McCain still sees three capital letters in Putin’s eyes - KGB

Nowadays, about six months before the presidential election in the United States, John McCain still sticks to his colors. The Republican leader said in an interview with ABC that Vladimir Putin was still ruling his autocratic Russia.

"We need to improve their behavior," McCain told ABC television when asked about his threat to exclude Russia from the Group of Eight if he wins the White House in November.

The 77-year-old candidate harshly criticized Russia’s foreign policy.

"His government - former president Putin, and now Prime Minister Putin - has taken his country down a path that I think is very harmful. They've become an autocracy. In the last week or so, look at Russia's actions. They cut back on their oil supplies to the Czechs, because the Czechs made an agreement with us. They have now thrown out - or forced out - BP out of Russia. They continue to put enormous pressures on Georgia in many ways. They're putting pressure on Ukraine. They are blocking action in the United Nations Security Council on Iran," McCain said.

1. The look in McCain's eyes in that interview with George S. was alarming.
BTW, he had to be corrected on the "former" president part.

The look in his eyes... I think he wants to invade. After kicking them out of G-8 of course.

:scared:
