MOSCOW, Russia – The pro-Kremlin Russian media did not strike on Monday, August 27 to condemn John McCain, who died of a brain tumor over the weekend, as a “Russian leader” of Washington.
McCain, who died Saturday at the age of 81, enraged Russia with his help for the pro-Western leaders of former Soviet Georgia and Ukraine, as well as his strong aid in sanctions for Moscow’s annexation of Crimea. (READ: Trump refused to praise McCain – report)
“McCain has become the main symbol of Russophobia,” Rossiya 1 said, adding that “Russia’s independent foreign policy cannot simply either.”
McCain” enjoyed the war. If you haven’t been killed yet, it’s never McCain’s fault. He tried,” the pro-Kremlin tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda wrote in a scathing publishing house.
Accusing the former Navy pilot of lying about torture while imprisoned in the Vietnam War, the tabloid newspaper concluded in the hope that McCain is now on fire in hell.
“Senator McCain enjoyed the flames of war. Let us have enough flames where his soul rests,” he wrote.
Life News, a pro-Kremlin tabloid, mocked the “Russian leader” for his direct decision to publish a 2013 publishing house aimed at Russians on a difficult-to-understand news site called Pravda.ru.
He believed that the website was connected at once challenging Soviet news consistent with Pravda.
“Clearly, no one has told the senator that there has been a new position in Russia since he was in captivity in Vietnam,” he wrote.
McCain “a convinced hawk who pecked Russia in principle,” Rossiya 1 reported at his major press demonstration on Sunday night, dedicating more than four minutes to the senator’s life.
McCain “strongly supported the army operations and wars that the United States has announced (Kosovo, Iraq, Libya), if he had not lost presidential campaigns twice, everything could also have been even more catastrophic,” he said.
The high-quality transmission included the detail that McCain “shot down in Vietnam through a Soviet SA 75-Dvina missile complex.”
While underscore McCain’s disdain for President Donald Trump, the series predicted that it will “verify and limit and even beyond Russia with serious sanctions, right now without John McCain.”
‘Irreconcil enemies’
Russia’s reaction in stark contrast to that of Ukraine, where McCain, an average visitor, and high-ranking politicians expressed their condolences.
President Petro Poroshenko said the senator was “a wonderful personality” and recalled how, on a 2016 trip to eastern Ukraine, he refused to withdraw from the trip at a trooplay station in a hoax under artillery fire.
“Ukraine has great friends from the apple, but no one will reposition John McCain,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin wrote on Twitter.
Ukrainians, adding an assistant to the internal minister, supported the renaming of a Kiev street after McCain.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has not issued great messages of condolence and some Kremlin officials have given incredibly hostile reactions.
“With regard to McCain’s death, I can say the following: as a tight Christian, I wish all the irreconcilable enemies of my homeland peace and quiet, in the afterlife, of course,” wrote Kremlin-funded RT television editor Margarita Simonyan in Twitter. .
Konstantin Kosachev, head of the Senate International Affairs Committee, wrote in Facebok that McCain’s “unique ideology” was “his and beat others.”
However, some Russian politicians have their respect.
Leonid Slutsky, head of Parliament’s foreign affairs committee to minimise deception, told official news firm RIA Novosti that McCain is “a brave and principled person.”
Oleg Morozov, a member of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, in Facebo praised McCain’s franchise.
“An enemy is dead, saloon him for his fairy, his righteous hatred, his refusal to reconcile.
He added, “May God achieve his black soul and his future.” – Rappler.com
