Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Tuesday called for the Trump administration to launch a new U.S. military deterrence initiative in the Asia-Pacific region, similar to what is already being done in Europe, as a counterweight to China.
The administration could chart a new course with an initiative that includes new military funding to realign U.S. forces in the region, increase combat power, improve bases and add more exercises, McCain said during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing.
"I believe there is strong merit for an Asia-Pacific stability initiative which is similar to the European deterrence initiative we've pursued over the last few years," he said.

It’s strange to think about, but perhaps we’re lucky we didn’t get this nut cake as President in 2008. We’d likely be radioactive by now.

McCain never met a war he didn’t like. There are times for fighting, but there are a whole lot more times when it’s best to stay on the sidelines.
