Description: Discussion #8 - Russia
Candidate: Sen. Obama
Question: Do you think that Russia under Vladimir Putin is an evil empire? ]
BROKAW: Senator McCain?
MCCAIN: Maybe.
(LAUGHTER)
BROKAW: Maybe.
MCCAIN: Depends on how we respond to Russia and it depends on a lot of things. If I say yes, then that means that we're reigniting the old Cold War. If I say no, it ignores their behavior.
Obviously energy is going to be a big, big factor. And Georgia and Ukraine are both major gateways of energy into Europe. And that's one of the reasons why it's in our interest.
But the Russians, I think we can deal with them but they've got to understand that they're facing a very firm and determined United States of America that will defend our interests and that of other countries in the world.
