Senator John McCain: “We Are All Ukrainians”

In response to reports of a Russian takeover in parts of Crimea, Arizona Senator John McCain said on Friday, “We are all Ukrainians,” before calling for swift U.S. economic aid to Ukraine, condemnation of Russia at the United Nations, sanctions against Russian officials and the installation of U.S. missiles in the nearby Czech Republic.

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes “this is a chess match reminiscent of the Cold War and we need to realize that and act accordingly,” McCain said, in an exclusive interview with TIME. “That does not mean I envision a conflict with Russia, but we need to take certain measures that would convince Putin that there is a very high cost to actions that he is taking now.”

What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

Hey man, I get it . . . you want to stoke your e-peen. You just picked the wrong person to insult. So take a friggin’ hike.

Dale Carnegie is so 1980's. But if that still works at the Kremlin . . . .

>> You just picked the wrong person to insult.

How’s that, kitty boy? That sounds vaguely like a threat to me. Is that how you meant it to sound, kitty?

...but no answers, I see. No branch, no service dates. Just another bucket of snot. Doesn’t really cut it on a thinking man’s forum that deals in facts. You’re rather short on facts and reasoning, aren’t you? Makes me wonder how you got this far. Extra-rich grade of snot, I guess.

Are you sure you have time for all this? It’s the end of the month; don’t you need to contact Daddy to make sure he ups the trust fund payment?

Just looking out for you, kitty.

Listen, unless you meet me face-to-face and prove to me that you are a Marine, then you are nothing to me. And frankly, I’ll have to introduce you to my pro-Obama Marine friends . . . so even telling me that you are a Marine is worthless.

For once, everything McCain said makes perfect sense, including material aid to the Ukrainians to help them hold off the Russians. We have here a second opportunity to bleed the Russians (and repay them for the 100K GI's killed in the Korean and Vietnam Wars), while cementing relations with a future ally that is also the breadbasket of Europe.

We cannot financially afford to bleed the Russians at this time.

No one in my family ever sided with either the Nazis or the Communists

Question: What is America's proper role, internationally?

Is is defending our national interests?

Or is it expanding our influence?

Are we all OUN Banderists? We support killing Jews, like some West Urkainians open call for?

Are we all Jihadists? Are we all Al Qaeda?

John McCain supports some of the most unsavory psychopaths in the world. Completely unhinged.

Yes, we are $17 Trillion in debt now, with another $200 Trillion in unfunded liabilities coming up.
