On March 26, McCain gave a speech on foreign policy in Los Angeles that was billed as his most comprehensive statement on the subject. It contained within it the most radical idea put forward by a major candidate for the presidency in 25 years. Yet almost no one noticed.
In his speech McCain proposed that the United States expel Russia from the G8, the group of advanced industrial countries. Moscow was included in this body in the 1990s to recognize and reward it for peacefully ending the cold war on Western terms, dismantling the Soviet empire and withdrawing from large chunks of the old Russian Empire as well. McCain also proposed that the United States should expand the G8 by taking in India and Brazil-but pointedly excluded China from the councils of power. ...
It would reverse a decades-old bipartisan American policy of integrating these two countries into the global order, a policy that began under Richard Nixon (with Beijing) and continued under Ronald Reagan (with Moscow). ...
The neoconservative vision within the speech is essentially an affirmation of ideology. Not only does it declare war on Russia and China, it places the United States in active opposition to all nondemocracies. It proposes a League of Democracies, which would presumably play the role that the United Nations now does, except that all nondemocracies would be cast outside the pale. The approach lacks any strategic framework. What would be the gain from so alienating two great powers? How would the League of Democracies fight terrorism while excluding countries like Jordan, Morocco, Egypt and Singapore? What would be the gain to the average American to lessen our influence with Saudi Arabia, the central banker of oil, in a world in which we are still crucially dependent on that energy source?

But he wants to keep Latino gangbangers who always have and always will be our enemies in this country?
Here are the Senators who voted against the Cornyn amendment , which would have established a permanent bar for gang members, terrorists, and other criminals looking to snag a shamnesty visa. Republicans underlined:
Never forget McCain not only pushed the amnesty bill, he refused to allow exclusions for the worst of the lot.
Waiting to hear some insightful remarks.
Democrats and Rinos - never met a criminal they didn’t like.
““The role of Mexican foreign agent, Juan Hernandez, since at least 2000 in McCain’s election inner circle. A Mexican national serving in Mexican President Fox’s cabinet and whose official role includes opposing the border fence, helping Mexican citizens enter the United States illegally and staying here and advocating for 24 million Mexican citizens in the United States. SEE these videos from CNN, FOX News, MSNBC and others where Juan Hernandez expresses his Mexican ultra nationalist views. Juan Hernandez is McCain’s Mexican Outreach Director.”

What I wonder sometimes is if there’s anything in the bible about Judas Iscariat being a “Maverick(TM)” or anything like that...
Russia was no ally, is no ally, and won’t be an ally, unless something profoundly changes. Regardless of his stance on Mexico, McCain is right in this regard. China and especially Russia are pulling a dangerous game with Iran and Central Asia as well with WMDs. It’s long overdue someone confronted them.
Kudos to McCain.
Russia is NOT our friend.
