“Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country.”
Words of wisdom from McCain. So Russia is a corrupt nation that is dependent on its natural resources? Not really false but what is the US(S)A then?
A money-printer masquerading as a bank?
At least Russia provides a product with intrinsic value…
Why doesn’t he just get back to playing online poker.

McCain: ‘Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country’
“No more reset buttons” for Putin, senator says
Sen. John McCain returned from a trip to Ukraine on Sunday, calling for “a fundamental re-assessment” of the United States’ relationship with Russian Vladimir Putin.
“No more reset buttons,” McCain told Candy Crowley on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “No more reset buttons, no more ‘Tell Vladimir I’ll be more flexible.’ Treat him for what he is. That does not mean re-ignition of the Cold War. But it does mean treating him in the way that we understand an individual who believes in restoring the old Russian empire.”
McCain, who has been critical of the Obama administration’s response to the crisis in Crimea, said the White House should target Russia’s oil exports.
“Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country,” McCain said. “It’s kleptocracy, it’s corruption. It’s a nation that’s really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy. And so economic sanctions are important. Get some military assistance to Ukrainians, at least so they can defend themselves. Resume the missile defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic. Look at Moldova and Georgia, both of whom are occupied by Russian troops as we speak, a path toward membership in NATO.”
Speaking in Kiev with a delegation of fellow U.S. senators on Saturday, McCain called for the United States to provide long-term military support — both “lethal and non-lethal” equipment — to Ukraine. “[It is] the right and decent thing to do,” McCain said.

Insane McCain is an idiot masquerading as a politician. Then again, saying a politician is an idiot may be redundant.
If Russia is a gas station then McCain is a gasbag. What a POS! And to think, our presidential choices were between this gasbag and Bath House Barry. Hunker down, it’s comin’.
“Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country,” McCain said. “It’s kleptocracy, it’s corruption.”
And the USSA is a socialist fascist state masquerading as a gas guzzling SUV, a corrupt kleptocracy bankrupt welfare state that doesn’t produce or export anything anymore except debt and obesity.
Why doesn’t McCain just save all the traveling and stay over there full-time to offer his “support”? If not there, then why not among his al Queda soulmates in Syria?
I know, it’s all about setting the debate. Full blown neo-Con vs. “sanctions” that “just aren’t tough enough”. Another false choice the media is giving us, where the real answer is C) stay the fuck out of it, it’s none of our business.
I truly believe that man is evil incarnate.
Truly.
And to think we think there is a choice between the two parties.
Both sides have the war drums banging.
Sad that the largest Empire ever fucking created in world history (that be us with troops on the ground in hundreds and hundreds of countries), still has the hubris to condemn another for trying to maintain their sphere of influence. Not to mention try to stop the Ukrainian people from being bent over by the EU & US when the currency controls start up again.
Russia, China too, see us for what we truly are. Debt-addled dying empire with hubristic, self-righteous, NWO, assholes, dying to see their vision of slavery and Utopia realized and a nation of selfish, lazy, fat, sick, slobs demanding more protection and more free shit.
We are in deep shit. Deep, deep, shit. And another revolution closer to the drain. Yee haw!
At US behest, Austria arrested a Ukrainian oligarch named Dmytro Firtash in Vienna on some corruption and bribery charge that appears to be involved tangentially with the United States.
Apparently, Firtash was small fry, 14th on the Ukraine list, worth only $673 million. Being an oligarch is, in itself, no crime in Ukraine. Yulia Tymoshenko is an oligarch (the “Gas Queen); the new Ukrainian government openly appointed oligarchs Igor Kolomoisky and Serhiy Taruta as governors in two western provinces in order to keep a lid on pro-Russian sentiment; and the great white hope of the Maidan activists, the “good oligarch” Petro Poroshenko, a.k.a. “The Chocolate King” is the seventh-richest man in Ukraine, worth about $1 billion. -Peter Lee of China Matters

Its a ‘Gas Queen’ not gas station John Bomb Jovial
There is a new crisis in Washington. Obama just figured out Putin has a bigger dick than him. Flags have been order to be put at half mast.
It would be interesting (and highly relevant) to note how many income-generating financial interests the likes of McCain and Kerry have in the US MIC (shares, commissions, campaign and political funding).
It is also very relevant to note that, should “things become interesting”, these “essential” Civil Servants will have their assured place in the most comfortable, well-appointed and secure bunkers, whilst those that have had to “support” their aspirations via ever rising direct and indirect taxation, may well be gaining first-hand experience of real-world post-apocalyptic living!
McCain’s goiter is masquerading as a cheek
