I recently did a piece where I gave some props to McCain and his ally Graham…..they were showing their grit by standing up to the emperor on some issues…..and then when I was starting to like these guys a bit, after years if bad mouthing them, they just could not let some things go….
It appears the McCain and his crony Graham recently made a “fact finding” mission to the Ukraine and while there had to thump their chest like crazed primates….
The United States has never been particularly supportive of efforts by European nations to negotiate a ceasefire in Eastern Ukraine. Perennial hawks Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) and John McCain (R – AZ) took things a step further, however, visiting Ukrainian troops on the frontlines and openly urging new military offensives against the ethnic Russian rebels.
Addressing the troops alongside Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Graham declared 2017 to be “the year of offensive” against Russia, insisting Ukraine’s fight was America’s fight, and that he was determined to make the Russian “pay a heavier price.”
Sen. McCain concurred, insisting that the US could not allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to “succeed” in Ukraine, because if he does he’s liable to also “succeed” in other countries around the world. (Domino Theory again?)
Graham is also said to be pushing a draft resolution aiming to impose a new round of sanctions against Russia for “trying to interfere with our election.” He insisted he would “never be satisfied” until the US punishes the Russian government.

Appears the Pres. Trump and McCain/Graham are not on the same page when it comes to Ukraine…..
White House officials say President Trump had a “very good call” with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko over the weekend, during which hew promised to work to restore peace along Ukraine’s eastern border with Russia, an area which has faced years of civil war.
According to a read-out of the call, Trump promised to work with Ukraine, Russia, and all other parties on the issue, with an eye toward restoring peace along the border. Trump and Poroshenko also discussed the possibility of meeting in the near future.
Is that our only answer to any situation….GO TO WAR? Or is there a possibility for some sort of diplomacy? (that would be a pipe dream)……
“insisting Ukraine’s fight was America’s fight”
It’s this kind of insane notion that keeps the wheels of the military industrial complex profitable and the plutocracies in power
So true….he is the same person that told Russia in 2008 that it was unacceptable for a nation to invade another…..is he getting senile? chuq
He sang like a canary I hear…

Bought by the Rothschilds & co long ago….not to forget his need to be photographed with rebel groups in Syria..not senile, just a rogue.
Poroshenko is a villian backed by the corrupt EU or shld I say the US/UK France etc EU.
Hi Chuq,meanwhile some more have gone down over the pond…good news is… they resurrected themselves,not once but 3 or 4 times..cat & mouse games continue per norm.
Diplomacy doesn’t generate funds to increase wealth. I’m not hopeful.
You are correct and I may not optimistic either….and that is just sad…..chuq
Reblogged this on Tales from the Conspiratum and commented:
Sure, forget everything and let’s just go to war, eh USA?
Thank you for the re-blog…I appreciate your help…chuq
The Ukrainians running that country, and those fighting against the Russian militias, are little better than self-confessed fascists who openly wave Nazi flags, and wear SS insignia. So let’s go and fight alongside them, and forget what WW2 was all about. What a great idea!
Sigh…Pete.
What is the old saying about history? LOL chuq
