Senator John McCain: “We Are All Ukrainians”
Time ^ | 02-28-2014 | Jay Newton-Small

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.”

No, we aren’t John. The old “We are all... “ has gotten so old and stupid that we are all so many things that we are all nothing.

McCain wants to bomb Syria to support the Islamists, “We are all Al Qaeda” (?)

....

we are the world...

Hey John: If this is such a critical matter that it requires U.S. military involvement, then go enlist that daughter of yours to land with the first Army or Marine units.

If he means we are all at the mercy of wolves because of the lack of US leadership, I’d be inclined to agree.

McCain needs to renounce his American citizenship and take the next plane to Kiev.

The question is whether this is actually coming from George Soros. McCain is his sock puppet.

Wasn’t this the guy who told us in 2008, we had nothing to fear from Obama?

He wouldn’t even lay gloves on him in a presidential campaign and he lost.

A loser lecturing us about getting tough on Russia! John McCain is the kind of guy who makes me fall asleep again.

“McCain said, in an exclusive interview with TIME.”

It’s TIME. I’m surprised anyone even noticed.
