The political debates in USA are a common show to which even people in Europe got used to. But I would like o refer to an interesting statement made by Mccain. His arguments, or better said lack of them are notable. However you cannot disagree with him, because Putin at least was part of KGB, so that it is not excluded that at the high rate of corruption and fear of the Russian people, the whole country to be, mean while, ruled by a small group of people. And the military reinforcement of Russia makes me think about this even more seriously.

McCain is right to some extent. But, he should bear in mind that the era of USSR KGB is long time ago over. Putin is a smart guy and he might use certain KGB tactics and policies for revealing the necessary infringements and punish them. But, to me, Putin and his team are fair. Why would otherwise people vote Medvedev, who in turn was supported by Putin?
