Many are cold, but few are frozen

You know, for a guy who claims he doesn't want to start, and doesn't see the possibility of, another Cold War with Russia, McCain's two for two in stirring up Cold-War-esque paranoia about The Bear.

from 9/29:

So, this is a very difficult situation. We want to work with the Russians. But we also have every right to expect the Russians to behave in a fashion and keeping with a -- with a -- with a country who respects international boundaries and the norms of international behavior.

And watch Ukraine. This whole thing has got a lot to do with Ukraine, Crimea, the base of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol. And the breakdown of the political process in Ukraine between Tymoshenko and Yushchenko is a very serious problem.

So watch Ukraine, and let's make sure that we -- that the Ukrainians understand that we are their friend and ally.

from 10/7:

Now, long ago, I warned about Vladimir Putin. I said I looked into his eyes and saw three letters, a K, a G and a B. He has surrounded himself with former KGB apparatchiks. He has gradually repressed most of the liberties that we would expect for nations to observe, and he has exhibited most aggressive behavior, obviously, in Georgia.

I said before, watch Ukraine. Ukraine, right now, is in the sights of Vladimir Putin, those that want to reassemble the old Soviet Union.

So according to McCain, what countries SHOULDN'T we be paranoid about?

I swear, he'd spend his entire term trying to pry open The Football with his teeth so he could nuke someone, anyone.
