U.S. Senator John McCain penned a blistering column for Russian media, telling the Russian people that their President bigw catalogue Vladimir Putin is a dissent-quashing tyrant who “doesn’t believe in you.”
The senior U.S. lawmaker, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, accosted Putin and his associates for rigging elections, imprisoning and murdering opponents, fostering corruption and “destroying” Russia’s reputation on the world stage.
“I am not anti-Russian,” McCain wrote in the piece, which his office said was sent to both the Communist Party’s Pravda newspaper as well as to online media outlet Pravda.ru. The latter was expected to publish it Thursday, his staff said.
In that widely quoted piece, Putin criticized Obama’s plan to bomb Russia’s ally Syria, demanded that Moscow’s plan to secure bigw catalogue Syria’s chemical weapon stockpiles be given time to work, and slammed Washington for “relying solely on brute force” to conduct its international affairs.
“President Putin and his associates do not believe bigw catalogue in these values. They don’t respect your dignity or accept your authority over them,” wrote McCain, who was a staunch supporter of U.S. President Barack Obama’s early plan for a military strike against Syria for that regime's apparent use of chemical weapons.
“They punish dissent and imprison opponents. They rig your elections. They control your media. They harass, threaten, and banish organizations bigw catalogue that defend your right to self-governance,” he added.
And “for his beliefs and his courage, he was held in Butyrka prison without trial, where he was beaten, bigw catalogue became ill and died.” A posthumous “show trial” in a Russian court found him guilty, McCain noted.
He said the framework reached by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov would be “meaningless” without a U.N. Security Council resolution that threatens the use of force should Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad not comply.
