McCain: Russia is Winning the Propaganda War

Saturday at the 10th annual Global Security Forum (GLOBSEC) in Bratislava, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said America is losing the information war on the annexation of Crimea by Russia.

McCain said, “The Untied States of America using the best minds that we have in Silicon Valley and other places  should be able to come up with a capability of countering this propaganda that’s coming out of Russia.”

He continued,  “I’m convinced this is the next battlefield just as it was during the Cold War. It’s the reason we didn’t have a war was because how many people came out of the Iron curtain countries and talked about what happened when they heard Radio Free Europe” adding, “I do accept your statement that they are winning now particularity in Russian speaking places.”
