Pic Of The Moment: Today In Alternate History: President McCain Handles Ukraine Crisis

[EarlG]

McCain: 'We Are All Ukrainians'

[liberal N proud]

1. Can't imagine how many wars we would have been in by now if he was President

Psychotic warmonger

[AtheistCrusader]

5. We'd be too busy in Iran right now, if either he, or Romney got in office, to do anything about

the Ukraine.

[giftedgirl77]

2. I just said yesyerday that old bastard stil hasn't figured

out he lost the election. Someone drops a pen McCain wants to declare war. We should've had him committed after he picked Palin has his VP.

[Auntie Bush]

3. Is there any war that bastard doesn't like? Thank God he lost the election

or we'd be at war everywhere. He wouldn't raise taxes for the cost so he'd have to almost completely eliminate all the safety net programs.

[msanthrope]

4. And get off his lawn!!!! nt

[michello]

6. Why is there pictures of Obama's family in the background?

Is he obsessed with them too?

[Jim Lane]

17. It's a screen cap from the alternate-reality Fox News.

When the war started, Fox identified President McCain as a black Democrat.

[Lobo27]

7. Shit, not only would we have nuclear annihilation going on.

Before that we would have a invaded Mexico to curtail the drug issue. Invaded Canada because of Muslims. Set up a massive military base in Alaska because the VP would fear for her state...

[RoccoR5955]

8. Why can't we just

send Panama John back to the country of his birth?
Let him wage war in the jungles down there, with his imaginary army.
He can be president of himself, and a legend in his own mind!

9. Here is what his adviser Ian Brzezinski has to say

Later, she repeated her objection and reminded viewers that her brother, Ian Brzezinski, is working on Mr. McCain’s campaign.

“Take care of my brother,” she said to Mr. McCain. “Say hi to Ian for me.”

After Ms. Brzezinski defended herself and mentioned her brother, Mr. McCain said thanks and added, “that was a cheap shot.” It was unclear whether he was referring to his remark about her, or Ms. Brzezinski’s rebuttal.

Four Steps NATO can Take to Support Ukraine
By Ian Brzezinski

Security assistance to Ukraine: A package of military help, including anti-tank weapons, surface-to-air missiles, ammunition and other supplies should be foremost on the table.

...

Deployment of NATO surveillance capabilities in Ukraine: The deployment of NATO sensors, including air-to-ground surveillance assets, to Ukraine would be a clear demonstration of allied commitment to Ukraine.

...

Activation of the NATO Response Force: The NRF is the alliance's rapid response force. President Obama recently committed a permanent US contribution to the force that can deploy on immediate notice a brigade land component backed by combat air and air support elements, and special operations forces, among other capabilities

...

Deployment of NATO Naval Forces to the Black Sea: The NRF includes a maritime component that, with other NATO naval assets, should be deployed to reinforce the interests of allies and partners in the Black Sea.

10. The thought of McCain as president gives me the shivers!

I see him as an advocate of all and any wars. Thank the powers that be that he lost the election. We would have been in many wars before now, and certainly been involved in what is going on in the Ukraine.

I hope the president does not take military action in this situation. We are not responsible for the rest of the world. At some point, we have to pull back and say that the lives of our men and women in arms cannot take the risk. I feel badly for the victims of this Russian assault but it is time we took care of the home front.

Romney would not be much better. This is my opinion.

11. I have some relatives who are of Ukrainian descent . . .

Though they call themselves what I do, they call themselves Americans!

[TBF]

12. FJM. nt

13. McCain: I've hearing a lot of rhetoric on Ukraine but don't see a lot of action.

.@SenJohnMcCain tells #newsnight: I've hearing a lot of rhetoric on Ukraine but don't see a lot of action.

15. Under McCain, we could easily attack Crimea

All we'd have to do is transfer some of our troops in Iran.

[SwankyXomb]

16. I object! There is no way John McCain would be President

even if elected. He would have insisted on piloting Air Force One and crashed it into a mountain somewhere.

[blkmusclmachine]

18. Mr. Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran !!!

[Mr. Mojo Risen]

19. Thank god for all that white guilt huh?

[AverageJoe90]

20. As an alt-history fan/writer myself.....McCain in office would be a bit scary to comprehend.

Although, TBH, not so much because of McCain himself.....naw, it's Sarah Palin that'd *really* worry me. How could we trust Caribou Barbie not to bungle her way into every possible SNAFU!? Glad we got BHO instead.

21. The Big News is Zbigniew

Wow I have a lot to learn about serial Journalist that are professional mental rapist in society, the serial monsters of the media midway, MSNBC, the psychopaths or if you want to call them sociopaths not having to worry about term limits. This post is the best example of the media connection the insanity of bias in America.

Especially here in the DU dialog of our new “Democratic Understanding” Mika has a brother, and yikes, totally connected to Dante’s seven levels of hell. Her brother, according to a Wiki entry is the principal player in Booze Allen and Hamilton the Public Relation firm primary subcontractors ring leader of the Metadata swindling secret society. Mika you devil you...

When Mc Cain said that was a cheap shot, actually that’s what he thought when McCain found himself shot down as if still in his Skyhawk over Hanoi. Also realize he was not buckled in the parachute properly, good reason he got busted up. McCain has been and is a magnet of menace ever since. This guy lied his way through life.

McCain is a sociopath Republican tending to be self-centered attracted to pretty women as most Republican egocentric men especially to anyone rich and narcissistic, definitively with obvious klutz he will fly into a cloud of confusion to manipulate his profiteering model.

McCain is so manipulative he tried to titillate America with Palin. Can you imagine the political picks from a Miss America contest or the American Idol Fox program is our next Vice Presidential pick after the endless glamour, pomp, and pump exercises of the perfect coitus companion. Or, any Fox news girl, yum, yum, yum. Is that what right to life really is ?
