Republican presidential candidate John McCain says Russia's invasion of Georgia requires a complete reexamination of U.S. relations with the Moscow government.
McCain has told reporters in Michigan that he was pleased the United States canceled a planned joint military operation with Russia. But he added that the U.S. will now need to review the full range of its relations with Russia.
McCain says there should be heightened security arrangements for Ukraine, the Baltic states and Poland. But he rules out military action against Russia or a return to the Cold War.
