Russia Announces Plans To Take Over American Politics Now That Their Enemy John McCain Is Gone
By Ursula Faw -September 1, 2018

Abraham Lincoln famously said, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” That sentiment was recently echoed by prominent Russian film director Karen Shakhnazarov on the Russian political opinion show 60 Minutes: “Global empires like the United States are destroyed from within…The U.S. is deteriorating. They won’t find other fighters like McCain. There won’t be any others like him. This process is irreversible.”

The Russians are elated to witness the demise of John McCain because they don’t see his successor anywhere in the Republican party. They’re happy as a pig in mud, and they’re not even hiding it. Daily Beast:

With glee, Russian political figures rejoiced over the passing of the late, great Sen. John McCain. Oleg Morozov, a member of the International Affairs Committee of the upper house of the Russian parliament, wrote, “The enemy died.” Margarita Simonyan, editor in chief of RT [the Russian state’s international television network] admitted: “I am a lousy Christian… I can’t love my enemies. I can’t even have compassion for them. I can only will myself not to gloat.”

1. Hey Russia, you can't count. You have millions of enemies. America is bigger than one person.

2. Yes, and we will stand

as one when the time comes. That begins on, Tuesday, November 6th and every election going forward until we turn this ship around, instead of aground.

"They won’t find other fighters like McCain. There won’t be any others like him. This process is irreversible.”

4. Russian propaganda

that the right will try to sell.

There are already fighters like McCain. There will be many more in our futures. We start Nov. 6 to reverse the process.

Just making sure that everyone knows I shared this to scoff at the Russian stupidity.

5. the part about McCain being central to what our country does is ridiculous

He was one of many senators and representatives who did the bidding of the very wealthy, and his military record and gravitas gave him a certain credibility while selling it to the public, but that is about it.
