(20,582 posts)Senator John McCain: We Are All Ukrainians
In an interview with TIME, the Arizona Senator said Obama is naïve about Putins ambitions to restore the Russian empire
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 made his declaration in response to a question from TIME about his famous 2008 statement, We are all Georgians, issued when he was a Republican presidential candidate after Russia invaded Georgia. Asked whether he feels the same way about the plight of Ukraine six years later, he agreed. We are all Ukrainians in the respect that we have a sovereign nation that is again with international boundaries
that is again being taken in as part of Russia, he said in an interview in his Senate office. That is not acceptable to an America that stands up for the rights of human beings. We are Georgians. And we are Ukrainians.

(7,596 posts)Six years later and he still hasn't gotten over the fact that the country rejected his senile ass. Now he's just a resentful turd who will take any opportunity to stick it to the guy who beat him.
