Russian Foreign Minister rebuffs McCain’s dig at Putin

[jakeXT]

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Friday lashed out at U.S. Senator John McCain, who called the death of Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi “reason to be nervous” for powerful Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

"I think dictators all over the world, including Bashar al-Assad, maybe even Mr. Putin, maybe some Chinese, maybe all of them, may be a little bit more nervous," McCain said in an interview with the BBC late Thursday. "It's the spring, not just the Arab spring."

In an interview with three Russian Radio stations Lavrov shrugged off McCain’s remarks, saying the senator’s opinion is not decisive for U.S. politics.

“It’s not the first time we have heard such exotic remarks from Mr. McCain. I don't think his remarks deserve serious comment. He is a famous person with his phobias, his 'rats in the attic' if you wish. I do not believe he defines the position of the United States.”

1. All these republicans that have been spouting off need to STFU.

Obama is trying to bring 'world peace' and The GOP is still trying to create more wars!

Hey McCain, you lost the election, sit down and be quiet - Obama is the President ;)

2. John baby......

3. I think making vague threats to the most powerful man in Russia is a bad idea, John boy.

Especially when said man has a lot of public support given that he cleaned up Russia...mostly...it's at least more reasonable and human-friendly than what it was as the USSR or under Yeltsin anyways. Me thinks you should never go to Russia now, like, ever.

4. McCain and "exotic remarks" ....

:rofl:

Thank God we had the sense NOT to elect the man with "rats in the attic" as POTUS, especially with Palin eagerly standing by to take over the moment that she saw Putin "rearing his head!"

It's long past time for McInsane to ride away into the sunset.

5. McCain has bats along with rats in his attic

He is an embarrassment to America.

6. What the fuck is that all about?

Seriously. Warning Pooty Poot and "some" Chinese that they are going to meet the same fate as Gaddafi, presumably by...us? By their own people? What is he talking about and why? Imagine the disaster we would be in if he had won the Presidency.

7. lol, perfect retort.

8. Idiot! Thank God he wasn't POTUS when he said that.

Go back on you meds John.
