YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSEN. OBAMA: I think they've engaged in evil behavior, and I
think that it is important that we understand they're not the old
Soviet Union, but they still have nationalist -- you know, the
impulses that I think are very dangerous.
MR. BROKAW: Senator McCain?
SEN. MCCAIN: Maybe. (Laughter.)
MR. BROKAW: Maybe?
SEN. MCCAIN: Depends on how we respond to Russia and 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 -- I think we can deal with them, but
they got to understand that they're facing a very firm and determined
United States of America that will defend our interest and that of
other countries in the world.
MR. BROKAW: All right. We're going to try to get in two more
questions, if we can, so we have to move along.
Over in Section A, Terry Shirey. Do I have that right, Terry?
