The Iran question devolved into debate whether it is wise to sit down with lunatic international leaders like the leaders from Iran, North Korea, Syria, etc without some kind of preconditions or meetings at lower levels. Obama says “yes.” McCain say’s “no.”
McCain, in the way he addresses these questions keeps insinuating that Obama is naive on these issues because of his inexperience.
McCain wants to include Georgia and Ukraine into NATO which I think is insane. What would Americans think if Russia desired to bring Mexico and Canada into their orbit of influence. The kind of commitment that McCain wants to give to Georgia and Ukraine is likely to create a flash point where if conflict were to rise with Russia vis a vis Georgia and Ukraine NATO members. Putting Georgia and Ukraine in NATO is another evidence that we still have thirst for Empire.
It’s important to note that Obama agreed with McCain about NATO membership for these former Soviet countries.
Both seemingly desire to treat Russia as adversarial.
