Back in 1999, most Republicans were against the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia for Kosovo -- until John McCain took up the mantle for the Kosovo Albanians. John McCain, who'd had a lot of Republican political power behind the scenes as long-time Chair of the IRI, had been a virtual unknown to the average American until the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia. At the time, McCain even pushed for an invasion of all of Serbia & Montenegro with US ground troops, but thankfully never got it.
Within 6 months of our invasion of Kosovo, over 300,000 Serbs, Roma and other non-Albanians were sent running for their lives out of Kosovo, over 100 ancient Christian churches were desecrated or destroyed, and Camp Bondsteel -- planned and designed long before the NATO bombing -- was being planted in Kosovo on another country's sovereign territory without their permission. Currently, the president of Serbia is Boris Tadic who was also trained at McCain's IRI.
In short, the rise of John McCain to national prominence was the end of the Republican Party as we had known it and the beginning of the US government being used not "for the people and by the people", but for the use of international financiers and globalist's expansionist ambitions.
McCain was a disgrace. When you wreck more than two fighter jets, you should go work in your wife's brewery.
