. 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.

he can stay there...
Can Ukraine keep him LOL!
now I am torn
I loved him when he was in the Navy, but in the Senate - not so much.
Been away so long he hardly knew the place.
I nominate him to be president of Ukraine. For life.
NEVER COME BACK!
Putin better send the commandos in.
LOLOLOLOL!!!
That's about all I can say :)

Just going to find out who the right people are to give money to so we can be sure to give it to somebody else.
the only question is whether it will rain on McCain in the Ukraine, or not.
Definition of the difference between coup and revolution appears to be an author's attitude towards the events.
Coup bad, revolution good.
If we run out of soldiers to run the world we can always import more Americans from Mexico.
Stay (just a little bit longer...)
Haven’t they suffered enough?
Just one more incentive for Putin to start the fireworks there?
What is he going to be, a human shield?
So these stupid “look at me” Senators support the Ukraine so much they are going to create an additional security nightmare for them.
The level of stupidity is just amazing.
