From Bloomberg:
Leaders of the Group of Eight industrial nations should boycott a summit hosted by Russia this year to protest President Vladimir Putin’s autocratic course, U.S. Senator John McCain said Saturday.
McCain, addressing a Munich conference on security policy, said Russia was “in pursuit of autocracy at home and abroad,” citing recent disputes with the Ukraine and Georgia on natural gas, planned missile sales to Iran and a clampdown on the media.
“Under Mr. Putin, Russia today is neither a democracy nor one of the world’s leading economies, and I seriously question whether the G8 leaders should attend the St. Petersburg summit” in July, McCain told the conference.
We just don’t have enough countries that hate us yet.
Neocon Bush doesn’t want us to be isolationist, but he is doing all he can to get the world to isolate us.
