McCain: Ask The People Of Ukraine If Mitt Romney Was Right About Russia

[DonViejo]

IGOR BOBIC – MARCH 4, 2014, 11:56 AM EST

Mitt Romney was right about Russia, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Tuesday, and if you want to know why look to the Ukrainian people.

The former governor of Massachusetts was ridiculed during the 2012 presidential campaign for calling Vladimir Putin's Russia -- not Iran or North Korea -- the United States' biggest "geopolitical foe." A senior editor at the New Republic agreed with that assessment on Monday.

Asked Tuesday how Obama misread the situation, McCain attributed to what he claims is an overly idealistic nature.

"Because the president views the world how he wants it to be, not how it is," he said on Fox News. "He has ignored the signs throughout. Vladimir Putin has made moves and the president has ignored them. He believes Vladimir Putin can be dealt with. And Vladimir Putin can be dealt with but only in the context of an individual who is bent on restoring the empire and maintaining that position."

I'm not justifying Pooty Poot's action however what he's doing is no different than us invading Grenada, Panama or Haiti.
