Vladimir Putin has lashed out at John McCain over his threats that the PM may face same fate as the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The Russian premier speculated that the US senator has been traumatized by his POW experience.
Putin presented his version of how Gaddafi was killed, and it allocates a dubious place for NATO in the scenario.
“All the world saw him being killed, all bloodied. Is that democracy? And who did it? Drones, including American ones, delivered a strike on his motorcade. Then commandos, who were not supposed to be there, brought in so-called opposition and militants. And killed him without trial,” Putin explained.
“Mr. McCain is known to have fought in Vietnam. I believe he has enough civilian blood on his hands. Is it that he can’t live without such horrible disgusting scenes as the butchering of Gaddafi?” the Russian prime minister speculated.
“Mr. McCain was taken prisoner in Vietnam and was put, not just in jail, but in a pit! He sat there for several years. Any person would go nuts from that!” he added.
Putin also said hawkish politicians like McCain are targeting, not him personally, but rather Russia, because it has the strength to protect its sovereignty and its international interests rather than submit to world domination pretenses. But there are more those who want to see Russia as a partner, not as an enemy.
“The West is not monolithic, and we have more friends than enemies,” Putin assured.

McCain is obviously another puppet politician either brainwashed or more than likely blinded by power, greed and money.. Even tho he doesn’t actually have power, he just gets told what to say.
The main needs to rot in jail just like almost all American politicians and corporate fat cats..
Go Putin, and keep sticking up for your rights! It’s good to see that the days of American tyranny are coming to an end.
McCain doesn't really have the power or support most of you people on here seem to think he does. He just has a loyal following of old retirees in AZ that keep voting him into office; that's about it.
Why you all give him so much credibility or assume he has this outsize influence in the US is beyond me. He has much less influence here that Zyuganov does over there, so I'm questioning why Putin even chose to grace him with all of this unnecessary attention, instead of simply writing him off as an irrelevant nobody.
Mc Cain and most of that CABAL dont even give a $hit about the US or its people.They serve the same SATANIC masters who own the industrial military complex and global banking system.
Elections in the US is a FARCE because you only win when the bought and paid for SATANIC media give you enough airtime and positive coverage along with millions of dollars from wealthy wall street and central banks so any puppet elected still has to work for their master who put them there and if he doesnt perform well surprise surprise they get to elect another puppet.
Two party system is useless when both serve the same INTERNATIONALIST masters.
