That analogy does not work for me. In moral stature, John McCain TOWERS above Josef Stalin, Nikita Kruschev, and even Mikhail Gorbachev, although I give Gorbachev a great deal of credit for ending the Cold War. I could SEE Putin coming to America on a summit visit, and then proceeding to bad mouth Stalin while he was here, to the American press. Our press would actually eat that up. It's EASY to bad mouth Josef Stalin. One of the most terrible people in all of history. Not so easy to bad-mouth a man like John McCain, even though the trolls here are trying to do it.
