I see the same facts you do.""we are at war with Russia" is typical Mccain. do you want war with Russia? then why defend McCain usual warmongering?
He never saw an opportunity for a war he diidn't want to happen/join.
He wanted boots in Syria FFS" a #100
But I reach a completely different conclusion, which happens to be far more consistent with the facts we both observe.
a) Russia is at War with the U.S. This is why U.S. presidents of both Democrat and Republican party have applied punishing sanctions against Russia.
b) There is persuasive evidence that Russia continues to interfere with the U.S. with Russian cyber-war.
c) What you call "usual warmongering" is apparently taking a responsible "America First" attitude toward U.S. national security.
McCain isn't advocating invading Moscow, or even St. Petersburg, so we can plunder Gazprom.
McCain is acknowledging the truth. And reports I've read indicate however buddy-buddy Trump may be with Putin in person, the Trump administration has been even more punitive to Russia than Obama was.
I consider the accusation that Senator McCain is a warmonger to be exceedingly ill-informed at best, and perhaps more likely, libelous.
And it shows terrible paucity of character for anyone to libel or slander anyone that has sacrificed so mightily for the slanderer's benefit.
