KIEV, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senator John McCain promised on Saturday continued support for Kiev in the face of aggression from Moscow, as he spent New Year's Eve on the front line in Ukraine's eastern conflict zone.
McCain was one of a bipartisan group of 27 U.S. senators who sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump in December, urging him to take a tough line against Russia over what they termed its "military land grab" in Ukraine.

He’s lost it.
I despise this nutjob almost as much as obambi

I seriously think he is losing his mind.
It does seem so, doesn’t it??? He needs serious mental evaluation...
Poor John, He needs meds and a straight jacket.
Progressive Dementia.

Wait a minute. The Neocon Deathbringer is on the front lines of the Ukraine Russian conflict. What the heck could be so important and time sensitive that would cause him to do that ?
On New Years eve no less....
“They” really want to start a war with Russia and will use ANY excuse to do it.
Curious how mccain and obama were present when Ukraine was forced to give up their weapons to Russia (2006?). Both did nothing during Putin’s takeover of Crimea....and NOW they’re threatening? NOW? a bit too late no?
Just for fun the wife and I married on February 29th.
Trump is going to have to smack this SOB down and put him in his placeTell the ole jackass, “I won, now shut up old fart”.
MCCAIN is not mentally fit to be a U.S. Senator. Under what authority does he make his declaration?
