Why doesn’t McCain suggest we go to war with Germany?
The American security guarantee brings with it moral hazard, such that the countries whose security is tacitly guaranteed (Germany, et al) slack off and make their defense policy one where they fight any would-be conqueror to the last dead GI. The fall of Ukraine may be necessary to prod both Asian and European countries into spending more money for defense, just in case Uncle Sam decides to sit out an attack on these countries by a foreign invader.
Mccain is crazy warmonger, more so than any Republican I know. I’m glad he didn’t win
Merkel to McCain: "Hey Obama butt boy. We fought Russia twice and it didn't work out so well. Why don't YOU try it a couple of times. Then get back to us."
John is nearing retirement, thank God, but meanwhile, he SO-very much wants to be a big shot. To achieve Big Shot status, McCain shoots his mouth off just to provoke a reaction. Keep him away from the European Leaders. We don’t have time for his foolishness or for another nonproductive exercise in vanity. Obama’s group is probably all for allowing John McCain even more oppotunities to make a public fool of himself. Blaming Bush is not as much fun this late in the game. McCains’ follies will thankfully take the focus off John (aparthied in israel) Kerry.
LOL...I wonder if McCain understands how deeply ironic his statement is...
Just change a few words...
They’re the leaders, they’re being governed by the industrial complex from Germany,” McCain said.
As he pushes amnesty for the Chamber of Commerce.
It may be McCain, but he’s essentially correct: much of Germany’s foreign policy is bought and paid for by Putin— after all you have a former German chancellor and Foreign Minister on the board of Gazprom already— how many other German businesses, officials and media types are on Putin’s payroll?
