John McCain says Donald Trump is helping Putin 'shatter' NATO alliance with Montenegro comments
Newsweek ^ | July 18, 2018 | Cristina Maza

Posted on 07/18/2018 9:04:20 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona lashed out at President Donald Trump on Wednesday for Trump's recent comments about NATO's collective defense obligations.

In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday evening, in response to a question by host Tucker Carlson, Trump echoed Carlson's concerns about whether the U.S. should defend a small country like Montenegro if it were to come under attack. McCain, who is known to be hawkish on Russia, accused Trump of toeing the Kremlin line.

“The people of #Montenegro boldly withstood pressure from #Putin’s Russia to embrace democracy. The Senate voted 97-2 supporting its accession to #NATO. By attacking Montenegro & questioning our obligations under NATO, the President is playing right into Putin’s hand,” McCain tweeted on Wednesday, the day after Trump’s interview.

Do we even have proof that he actually has cancer? I just don’t want him to die before I get to see him go to prison.

We had better hope Juan McAmnesty is still alive and coherent when it comes time to confirm Kavavaugh assuming he will vote to confirm. We will need every vote. OToH if he votes with the Ds, it would be better if he did not vote at all.

John McCain has probably been dead for months. All this chatter is Cindy, Meghan and his loyal McCainiac staffers. PROVE ME WRONG. Habeus Corpus.

Exactly.

Oh yes he did! He threatened to pull money from NATO, so to them that’s a threat. Can’t operate without US funds, ya know.

Stupid leftists are everywhere

Pretty sad to think someone at deaths door has nothing better than petty personal digs on their mind. Says a lot about McCain and nothing about Trump.

I agree 100%. Q’s “corpse phone picture” will expose this hoax once they finally admit that he has passed.

He’s not sick — physically, that is.

Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia. They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Pretty strong words from a man involved in schlepping a fictional dossier from behind enemy lines in an attempt to thwart the will of the people.

But Trump hardly threatened NATO’s existence.

Not all of NATO. Just Article 5.

The Founders warned us against entangling alliances.

World War I showed what can happen.

NATO still serves a purpose, but casually extending its life-or-death guarantee to anyone who wants it is strategically foolish. I can also see why it might appear as encroachment to the Russians, who are paranoid with some historical cause.

Very well put, friend. I agree with all your points including the “war hero” error. (I’m a VN combat vet.)

We must fight smart and the war hero comment was not good.

Q for Johnny: The same NATO alliance that
you’ve been helping try to unseat a duly elected American president?

Just askin’, Johnny.

This bull **** with John McCain is turning into a laughing joke...

Any one who has lost a family member or friend to brain cancer, especially an aggressive type of cancer ...knows that a year after diagnose they are not carrying on serious Government conversion ..and at 82 plus years old at that...

I have lost all respect of his family and have not had respect for him for tens of years..if I ever did..

NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Montenegro? Greece? Turkey? (and others) .... Did somebody move the Atlantic Ocean while I wasn’t looking?
