Putin aide slams McCain: Thank God he doesn't shape foreign policy
By Joe Uchill - 05/22/17 11:32 AM EDT

A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday slammed Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a frequent critic of the Kremlin, for the senator's "rude attacks."

"Thank God, this gentleman is not the one who shapes or implements U.S. foreign policy," Dmitry Peskov told the Russian state news service TASS. "Therefore we will naturally avoid exaggerating the significance of these insulting and rude attacks or linking them with bilateral Russian-U.S. relations somehow."

McCain during an interview on Sunday said he was "speechless" about an Oval Office meeting between President Trump and a Russian delegation including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Have to agree with the Russian.  I think it's unfortunate that McCain shapes anything.  McCain is a bitter, old fool.

"I have to tell you, he [Obama] is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.”

If McCain ever had any credibility, it was lost at that moment in October of 2008.

What a wonderful day it will be when the old goat finally retires.

Putin is looking out for Russia, not America. Anything that makes America weaker is good to Putin.
