McCain Attacks Obama Over What He Wrote About Russia In College
Posted: 03/04/2014 4:58 pm EST Updated: 03/04/2014 5:59 pm EST
WASHINGTON -- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday drew from a new source
in arguing that President Barack Obama has been too 'soft' on Russia: An
article Obama wrote back when he was in college.
In a blistering speech on the Senate floor, McCain blamed Obama in part for
Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression amid the Ukraine crisis, days
after Russian forces moved in on the Crimean peninsula.
"This is the same guy that the president of the United States pushed the
reset button time and again with," McCain said of Putin.
He then shifted his attention to a 1983 article called "Breaking the War
Mentality," which Obama penned for a campus magazine as a senior at Columbia
University. Conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg resurfaced the article on
Monday in a USA Today op-ed.
In his article, Obama blamed "U.S.-Soviet tensions largely on America's war
mentality and the twisted logic of the Cold War," McCain said, quoting from
Goldberg. "President Reagan's defense buildup, according to Obama,
contributed to the 'silent spread of militarism' and reflected our '
distorted national priorities' rather than what should be our goal: a '
nuclear free world.'"
"That's what student Obama said," McCain added, before making the case that
the president's approach to Russia was fundamentally naive.
"The remarkable thing is that two weeks ago in response to tensions in
Ukraine, two weeks ago, the president explained that -- quote -- 'Our
approach is not to see events in Ukraine as some Cold War chessboard in
which we're in competition with Russia,'" McCain said. "This is a horrible
way to talk about the Cold War, because it starts from the premise that it
all was just a game conducted between two morally equivalent competitors."
This isn't the first time Republicans have used Obama's 1983 college article
to cast judgment on his handling of foreign policy. The piece gained
traction just before Obama's first inauguration, with several conservative
bloggers calling it anti-American and oblivious to the Soviet threat.
The New York Times noted in 2009 that Obama's article profiled two anti-
nuclear groups on campus, Arms Race Alternatives and Students Against
Militarism, and that despite his sympathetic portrayal of the groups, "the
article seemed to question the popular goal of freezing nuclear arsenals
rather than reducing them."
McCain and other Republican lawmakers are now using recent developments in
Ukraine to bolster their claims that Obama has simply failed to view Russia
as a serious threat. "I say it's time we woke up about Vladimir Putin,"
McCain said. "It's time that this administration got real."
But for all their fury, few Republicans have proposed a response that
differs significantly from the administration's reaction thus far.
Before wrapping up his floor speech, McCain called for a suspension of
military-to-military engagements between the U.S. and Russia -- a move the
Pentagon announced on Monday. He also said the U.S. should boycott June's G-
8 summit in Sochi. Although the White House has not withdrawn from the
summit as of yet, Obama said the U.S. was backing out of planning meetings
for the G-8. Finally, McCain called for Russia to be thrown out of the G-8,
an option Secretary of State John Kerry has left on the table if Russia
fails to stand down in Crimea. | p********7
