McCain, Ill With Brain Cancer, Tells Western Allies 'I Am Counting on You... to Never Give Up'
Time Magazine ^ | February 19, 2018 | Time

Posted on 02/19/2018 12:08:34 PM PST by GuavaCheesePuff

Cindy McCain accepted an award on behalf of her husband John McCain, who is ill with brain cancer, on Saturday night at the Munich Security Conference. She read a letter from her husband in which the Republican Senator and longtime foreign policy hawk urges America’s allies to stand by the values that won the Cold War.

The Ewald Von Kleist Award is given for service to international peace and conflict resolution. It is named for a German who volunteered to wear a suicide vest in the attack on Adolf Hitler, and who founded the conference conference in Munich.

I guess the vest didn't blow up?

McCain’s letter:

To my dear and cherished friends, and to my worthy adversaries:

It breaks my heart that I cannot be with you. But as Cindy has no doubt told you, after many polite consultations with my doctors … I was strongly advised not to travel to Munich. And as you know, I never second guess the experts.

I want to thank Joe Biden...

I couldn’t believe it - I saw a Time Magazine special issue titled JOHN McCAIN HERO in local food store.

Maybe they had it prepared and got sick of the SOB to assume room temperature.

Speaking of McCain - Why is it that NO ONE in our worthless government has the balls to actually verify that McCain is able to in any way fulfill his duties as Senator, and, if he isn’t, demand that he resign and be replaced by someone who CAN?

Don’t worry his worthless staff will continue on in spite of him either being in an irreversible coma or dead.

I get a “Weekend at Bernie’s” vibe every time I see something attributed to McLame in the media.

The West IS NOT headed in the right direction.

These nations are hell bent on destroying themselves.

Trump tries to shake them up, get them to reevaluate their actions and goals.

Then the misguided and destructive McCain steps up to reassure them they don’t need to pay attention to Trumo, short circuiting a process that desperately needs to take place.

McCain is still the desperate child on the playground starting fights because he doesn’t know what else to do.

He cannot grasp adult level concepts, the strategy of applying pressure to effect change.

He in effect becomes the ally of Western nation’s in their suicide of nations.

McCain is an excellent example of what is wrong with Washington. We have roughly 535 people who think they are president.

McConnell, Ryan, the GOPe, the RNC, the DNC, the MSM, these entities are not only screwing up our nation, but are willing accomplices in the destruction of the West and the assencion of dark forces that will oppress the world in ways these misguided fools only thought the U. S. could and was.

Danger ahead...

Anyone with half a clue, please fight against McCain’s heir appearing, Mitt Romney. The man must not become the evil force in Washington he is almost certain to be.

McCain’s meddling in Ukraine and Syria should have put him prison along with Clinton.
