Republican Senator John McCain tends to exaggerate the danger posed by the Russian president and demonize him; The United States is aware of Putin's capabilities, which are "insignificant and not serious".

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian publicist, blogger and analyst Vladimir Golyshev.

"McCain is just an original grandfather. I would not attach much importance to McCain's words. He constantly demonizes Putin and portrays something terrible from him. What he, naturally, is not. We do not seriously discuss what Zhirinovsky says. Why should we attach importance to McCain's words? "- said the publicist.

"Apparently, McCain was impressed by the film Oliver Stone, in which he fell to the fifth point in horror from the greatness of his interlocutor," suggested Golyshev.

He assured: everything said by the senator "does not mean at all that Putin is afraid of someone". "For example, the Pentagon and US military intelligence are aware of the capabilities of Putin. And they are insignificant, frivolous ".

Hence the attitude towards the threats of the Russian president, the publicist continued.

"Putin provokes the US in Syria to put them in an awkward position. His last statement about the shooting down of American aircraft will end with the fact that they will even more intensively knock them down, "he said..
