John McCain Is Going To Ukraine
Zero Hedge ^ | 12 March 2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 03/12/2014 3:41:00 PM PDT by Errant

. Three weeks ago, John Kerry came, saw, and launched a blitz-diplomatic campaign which promptly resulted in, well, Russia annexing Crimea.

Now it is the turn of that other foreign policy titan, neo-con John McCain, to complete Kerry's job and finally launch the GDP-boosting World War III. He may have the chance to do that as soon as Thursday, when he, along with other senators, is slated to travel to Ukraine to "show support for the government there." Or, said otherwise, to show support for the government that is in power thanks to an illegitimate and deadly coup that took place just over two weeks ago, despite the formal signing of a memorandum, endorsed by all Western powers, that stipulated a peaceful transition as well as presidential elections in the coming months. When presented like that, one almost thinks back to the roaring success that was the US endorsement of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood regime (where the US too had zero involvement, repeat zero involvement) that also took over following a violent coup. As well as the largely predictable countercoup that overthrew said regime.

Hey, can we send a whole planeload of our political hacks for a nice, all-expense vacation in Ukraine? (And the timing looks like it couldn’t be better, too...)

He’ll have to take less than his usual number of ‘reporters’ to keep from being considered an invasion...

When Juan McCain supports something you know its bad news.


Pictured: John McAmnesty and US armed, Christian killing Al Qaeda foreign terrorists in Syria.

The same Globalists that support the likes of John McVain and the Al Qaeda overthrow of Syria are the same ones running the overthrow of Ukraine.

Hell, I’ll go to the Ukraine, traveling first class on the taxpayer’s dime, staying in the best hotels and stuffing myself with the best caviar while contributing nothing.

“The delegation will be made up of a group of eight senators from both parties. Aside from McCain, those traveling to Ukraine are Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).”

Oh, Goodie! We taxpayers get to pay for yet another junket for another Gang of Eight! Can’t believe Lindsey Graham isn’t in the group. I didn’t think McCain went anywhere without his “special friend.”

What authorizes a Senator to conduct diplomacy between nations or to interfere with the internal affairs of a foreign nation?

After he lands, I'm sure he'll say:

"Gee, it's good to be back home."

Good, maybe he’ll defect. They can have him and the horse he rode in on.

When George Soros calls, McCain follows orders. Not a surprise McCain is supporting the Western Ukraine Bandera Nazis. Just like he supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Al Qaeda in Syria.

Hot damn! Will they be keeping him?

Will Juan McLettuce volunteer to lead them into battle and sacrifice himself on the ramparts?

Sends a tingle down your leg, doesn't it...???
