McCain, Sasse call for coordinated NATO response to poisoning of ex-Russian spy
the Hill ^ | March 15, 2018 | REBECCA KHEEL

McCain, the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, and Sasse, who sits on the panel, are calling for NATO's Article 4 to be invoked to speed up the allied nations' response. Article 4 allows for members to call a special session of NATO's North Atlantic Council.

The letter was sent to Defense Secretary James Mattis, Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan and current CIA Director and Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo.

Is McCain still hiding out from subpoenas...?

So McCain is well enough to bitch about something every couple of days but NOT well enough to come into work for three months?

Why does this POS keep getting a paycheck when he’s clearly doing NO work, and why do we-the-people have to foot the bill?

McCain, the Commander in Chief.

His instruction went straight to Mattis and Pompeo.

Have either of these clowns called on action against Turkey killing thousands of innocent Kurds and others?

Sasse and McCain just want to show their sorry asses. No mention form from either of NATO member committing genocide.

McCain wants a nuclear war before he dies.

The Russians are not even allowed due process?

Before we convict them, let’s be sure we are in the right.

We really dodged a bullet when McCain lost even if it inflicted Obama on us.

Why is this person so determined to start a World War?

Guilt by association here. The armchair isolationists are still tantruming about Bolton.

He was an ex-British spy, he spied for Britain in Russia being Russian. Standards of journalism, as well as any common sense - down the drain!

If McCain and Sasse are so concerned about a ‘rules based international system’ why don’t they demand Britain comply with the Convention on Chemical Weapons which requires them to produce samples of the nerve agent used?

Shouldn’t these articles read “McCain’s office says”?

Sasse is just as evil as McCain—and younger and healthier.

Have the Brits arrested anyone for the crime yet? If not, why the stampede to pick a fight with Russia, a fight that is desired by the crowd that wants to blame Russia for Hillary’s loss?
