John McCain tells Ukraine protestors: 'We are here to support your just cause' [flashback from 2013]
The Guardian ^ | December 15, 2013 | Guardian staff and agencies

Senator John McCain on Sunday told thousands of Ukrainian protesters camped on Kiev's main square that Ukraine's destiny lay in Europe and that it would make Europe better.

"Ukraine will make Europe better and Europe will make Ukraine better," he said to crowds protesting against President Viktor Yanukovich's U-turn in trade policy away from Europe towards Russia.

"We are here to support your just cause, the sovereign right of Ukraine to determine its own destiny freely and independently. And the destiny you seek lies in Europe," said McCain, a leading Republican voice on US foreign policy.

The presence of McCain at the anti-government rally after a weeks-long stand-off between demonstrators and the authorities further highlighted the geo-political East-West tug-of-war which Ukraine is once again at the centre of. Politicians from Berlin and Brussels have paid morale-boosting trips to the square, drawing denunciation from the Russian prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, for "crude" meddling in Ukraine's affairs.

McCain is in Ukraine with a Connecticut Democrat, Senator Chris Murphy.

Yeah, he’s dead.
The Qtards say he was executed for treason.

Guess they like countries that secretly execute old dudes that are dumb.

Hooray for secret executions, WWG1WGA.

Right?

Ukraine has been the testing ground for color revolutions like the one we’re in the midst of.

From his serial flying mishaps (it’s good to be the son of an Admiral), to the fire aboard the USS Forrestal (134 sailors dead), shot down and held as a POW, broadcasting propaganda for his captors, all but (?) purposefully losing to Obama in 2008, to collaborating with Democrats more than members of his own party, John McCain spent a lifetime causing or being coincidentally close by to disaster and betrayal. It’s not at all surprising that a year after he stuck his nose into the Ukraine’s relations with Russia, they lost the Crimea. His folks should have named him Jonah.

He wasn’t interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs or anything, just seein the sights. I remember when he passed the Steele dossier to the FBI, in person.

Nope,....You just can’t go wrong standing with McCain. What a patriot!!

Overthrowing a Democratically elected leader doesn’t happen. Unless it is a NWO overthrow. Why? Every 4 years there is a legal coup (vote).

Wow, look at this scathing article from Ukraine’s official newspaper, published in Politico Europe:

Putin’s useful German idiots

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a repudiation of a whole generation of German politicians from across the spectrum.”

Yep. They were there to aid the overthrow of the Ukrainian government. The coup of 2014 brought the Azovs Brigade into power.
