Protests seen across Russia following the election are the largest in over 20 years. McCain seized the opportunity to liken them to the ones that toppled governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere, and he took to Twitter on the day after the election, saying, “Dear Vlad, The #ArabSpring is coming to a neighborhood near you.”
Speaking on a call-in TV show, Putin, who is well-known for his macho demeanor, explained that McCain “can’t live without the kind of disgusting, repulsive scenes like the killing of Gadhafi,” and dismissed the Arizona Republican’s remarks about the potential power of the Russian protests.
“Mr. McCain was captured and they kept him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years. Anyone [in his place] would go nuts,” Putin said, according to the Associated Press.
McCain again struck back at Putin via Twitter, saying, “Dear Vlad, is it something I said?”
I think Putin and McCain should settle their differences in a judo match
Say what you will about McCain, and you can say lots, but I would pay GOOD fucking money to see them duke it out. Putin knows judo, but McCain survived a Vietnamese prison camp.
^ agreed
McCain’s like “umadbro?”
