In this speech, Sen. John McCain makes some very aggressive statements about Russia and the war in Georgia, with no shortage of references to Cold War history. It appears that unwavering support for the former Soviet states is quickly becoming a central pillar of the candidate’s foreign policy platform – but whether or not that is the outcome that the Moscow hardliners were looking for is an entire other question.
