Tillerson is absolutely right. And McCain, as usual, is an idiot.

The first thing that went through my head when Tillerson said that was the military soldier that faced trouble because he couldn’t stand the young boy being chained and raped and treated as a sex slave. That is their culture.

I agree. Besides, where was McCain when the Obama administration was ‘negotiating’ on the Iran deal? Are we to assume that the US was in agreement with Iran on their human rights policies, which paved the way for the administration to negotiate with them?

McCain is a loose canon. A brief reflection should have led him to understand, that a term like "values" has a very different shading of meaning in different contexts, compounded by different human subject's own subjectivity.

McCain here, shows not great dedication to principle, but a shallow need to strut a claim for virtue that does not really exist.

The actual American values--as to foreign nations;--the accepted values of those of the Founding Fathers who studied Vattel, and formulated our original foreign policy, is that each nation must be the judge of its own internal affairs. For those of us who understand the precepts of sovereignty, that acceptance is a fundamental political value.

The return to American First values, certainly does not conflict with Vattel or the Founding Fathers.

Someone who cares about whatever is left of McCain's reputation, needs to take him aside and suggest that he learn to reflect for a bit before he makes one of his interesting pronouncements.
