Mac's prescience on Russia

From Jonathan Martin at Politico:
Speaking about Chechnya in an appearance at Arizona State University in 1999, McCain said: "The mindless slaughter is being conducted by a Russian military that seeks to reassert itself not only in the former Soviet Union but also to extend its reach throughout what used to be the former Soviet Union in an attempt to fold back into the Russian empire those countries that have broken away from it, most notably Georgia."
That link is to a YouTube video of the speech. I almost headlined this post: Daily duh!
