McCain urged confrontation with Russia Posted by Max Bergmann

McCain mentioned Russia in his speech tonight and he said he did not want a new Cold war...phew... But the problem is that his over the top rhetoric when a crisis happens would lead to the very conflict he says he doesn't want. He is crisis prone and itches for confrontation. As I wrote a while back:

The big concern with a McCain presidency – a concern which I am surprised has not been vocalized more fully – is that the U.S. will lurch from crisis to crisis, confrontation to confrontation, whether it be with Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc. The danger is that McCain’s pundit-like rhetoric will entrap the U.S. in descending spiral of foreign policy brinksmanship. Just think about the very likely scenario of McCain giving Iran/Russia a rhetorical ultimatum and Iran/Russia ignoring it. Now we are stuck - either we lose face by not following through on our threats or we follow through and go to war.  We can’t afford such a reckless approach after the last eight years. For the next eight we need a president not a pundit.
