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.”

McCain knows how to pick ‘em:
Al Qaeda in Syria.
The Banderstaat in Western Ukraine.
You are right, but this forum has deteriorated to the point where it responds to personalities (the Entertainment Tonight/InTouch magazine syndrome) instead of to the ideas. Frankly, it shouldn’t matter who says that the sky is blue. But that’s just me.
>> unless you meet me face-to-face and prove to me that you are a Marine, then you are nothing to me.
I see you have the admin mod in your pocket. Well done, boy. It’s good to have someone fight your battles FOR you, since you can’t fight them yourself.
I’m way ahead of you; you’re already nothing to *me*, and you’re actually going downhill, fast.
You can tell me to leave this country exactly NEVER, kitty boy. I’ve served her. I am staying. Get it?
Gee, admin mod, I sure hope telling it like it is doesn’t get under your skin. Clearly YOU never went back as far as THAT post where I was told to go to Russia. Did you now? No, I didn’t think so.
May I have a scoop of ice cream, please?
I’ll take that as a no.
In the larger scheme of things, a few billion dollars a year is pocket change. We are spending $100b a year in Afghanistan. Pull out and divert a sliver of the money saved towards money, food and equipment for Ukraine. Heck - zero out the $2b we give to Pakistan annually for access to Afghanistan and send that to Ukraine in the form of material aid.
Yum Yum ... broccoli flavor. Thank You!!!
Putin’s Neo-Soviet Russia opposes and works against America’s interests throughout the world, therefore it is not in America’s interests to allow Russia to expand its anti-American influence.
Gee .... their guy sounds a lot like our guy, just working different neighborhoods and both wearing a hoodie with weapons along the ear-line.
Bump
That’s exactly why the bastard from Kenya will not to anything to counter Putin’s anti-Americanism, after all he did promise his comrade Putin after the election he could be more flexible for him.
Why do they (putin & obama) want to be King of the World? Maybe my brain cannot wrap either of them in bacon but one of them likes dog meat. Wonder what putin eats? I love broccoli flavor ice cream.
Then there is that one call McCain, that has Lindsey on his lap sucking McLame’s thumb. What is McLame thinking? McLame acts like he hates everyone, just like obama. Lord, What A Country!!! I’m still smiling though. It beats crying. Besides I have broccoli flavored ice cream. Life is good. Why do these people (mentioned) want to kill everyone. With putin we know why he prefers death and destruction ... just can’t figure out the rest of ‘em. Uh oh, the putin lovers are going to track me down for that.
It may be that he picks who Soros tells him to pick...
McCain is right on this. We can’t stand by and allow such naked aggression to go unanswered. We have a security agreement with Ukraine and we must honor it.
In Juan's case, he's Nestor Pistor
That’s right like the Ukrainians we have been invaded by communists.
