Sen. John McCain once again demonstrates the subtlety of a brick thrown through a window, irresponsibly elevating unproven cyberattacks to "an act of war"

Why Arizona keeps inflicting this incompetent gasbag on the rest of the country is difficult to fathom.

You remember John McCain's failed presidential bid, in which he told us we had nothing to fear from a president Obama, and then having lost to him in 2008 and running for reelection to the US Senate in 2010 he told us Obama was all of a sudden on a left wing crusade to bankrupt the country. Well, which is it, Senator?

And now the warmonger in John McCain raises its ugly head, here, in Ukraine of all places, stirring the pot in the Russian Bear's own backyard:

"When you attack a country, it's an act of war," McCain said of the recent hackings on Ukrainian TV, according to a transcript compiled by Reuters. "And so we have to make sure that there is a price to pay so that we can perhaps persuade Russians to stop this kind of attacks on our very fundamentals of democracy."

Hey Senator, what price should Russia pay for an act of war? Usually war is the appropriate response. If you're not really prepared to launch one, SHUT THE HELL UP.
