KIEV, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator John McCain promised on Saturday continued support for Kiev in the face of aggression from Moscow, as he spent New Year's Eve on the front line in Ukraine's eastern conflict zone.

McCain was one of a bipartisan group of 27 U.S. senators who sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump in December, urging him to take a tough line against Russia over what they termed its "military land grab" in Ukraine.

"I send the message from the American people - we are with you, your fight is our fight and we will win together," McCain was quoted as saying by Ukrainian President Poroshenko's press service.

"In 2017 we will defeat the invaders and send them back where they came from. To Vladimir Putin - you will never defeat the Ukrainian people and deprive them of their independence and freedom," McCain said after a visit to a military base in the southeastern town of Shyrokyne....

McCain doesn't give a damn about Ukraine, Syria, or Russia. He gives a damn about doing what Soros tells him to do.

He's another one of the scum who agreed to play designated losers for Soros and is now more or less on retainer to run his mouth and advance all the Soros plans for trouble making and anarchy.

Agreed.
McCain co-authored with a Dem the most direct legislative
assault on the 1st Amend. that I know of. The most un-American
piece of legislation that I know of. McCain-Feingold.

For that alone he should have been removed from office,
stripped of his pension and never allowed to work
for the government again in any capacity whatsoever.

A war with Russia with our current military full of sexual deviants is no joke.

The deviants is a “minor” detail I prefer to overlook. OTOH, maybe it’s one way to lose them.
