John McCain wants new sanctions against Russia and it is this politicians who are the greatest threat to the world economy. Imposing such sanctions will only backfire for the damage is to European companies, rarely American. McCain is always out to create war for personal retribution for being turned into Vietnam’s version of Tokyo Rose. His latest round of sanctions is to punish Russia for interfering in the 2016 elections which still is not proven, but it put in office Trump, according to McCain who would be much more happy with Hillary. He has never smiled that way looking into the eyes of Donald Trump.
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany objected to McCain’s latest folly. She warned that it is indeed strange that the European economy is being targeted in the sanctioning of Russian behavior. “That must not be.” Economic interests and sanctions have never worked. It has not brought down Putin nor has it altered North Korean determination. There was also criticism from SPD politicians and the European Commission. McCain is quickly becoming the real issue in Europe as the man who harms the economy of Europe for personal political vindication.
The US Senate had voted last week for new sanctions against Russia, which is to be punished for an interference in the 2016 presidential election on top of the annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula Crimea. Then there is the support of the government in Damascus in the Syrian civil war, without any mention that this was only to help Qatar get a pipeline through Syria. Syria does not train terrorists to attack the West.
McCain is trying to put pressure on EU companies involved in the construction of the new Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. This includes BASF and E.ON and OMV from Austria. The sanctions of McCain will not cause Putin to fall to his knees and say he is terribly sorry for exposing the truth about Hillary. So exactly what is John McCain’s objective besides personal hatred of Russia and just about any individual or country that disagrees with him? McCain is the one risking a trade war with Europe – not Trump. The criticism is not directed at Trump for the termination of the Paris Climate Protection Agreement or protectionist tendencies. This round of European criticism this time is directed at McCain leading the Senate with a total of 97 votes.
The EU Commission criticism stated: “It is important that possible new measures be coordinated between the international partners in order to ensure their impact internationally and to ensure the unity of the partners in the sanctions.” McCain seems to be getting rewarded under the table as always for the sanctions would punish Russia while promoting American gas exports and jobs in Europe give the USA is now a net exporter of liquefied gas and is thus competing with the Russian gas delivered by pipelines to the EU. As always, just follow the money.
McCain is trying to stop the construction of a second tube of the Nord Stream gas pipeline through the Baltic Sea, which is to supply additional Russian gas to Germany and the EU. If Trump supports McCain, then look for a break in European/US relations and a potential energy trade war.
McCain is overdue for the “home”. He is senile and a danger to himself and others.
John McCain is clearly mentally disturbed and should be removed from the Senate. Leaving aside his treasonous conduct in the Vietnam War (accepting favored treatment from the enemy and making propaganda broadcasts, which he later had classified to protect his sorry ass; his supposedly “heroic” act of refusing to be repatriated ahead of his fellow prisoners was no such thing – had he accepted it he would have been court-martialed) this corrupt old bag of shit has ceaselessly campaigned to involve us in every war on the planet. His father was also a traitor, being the vile creature who white-washed the U.S.S. Liberty attack for LBJ’s Jewish friends. Oh, and his fortune? Courtesy of the mafia moll he married after dumping his faithful first wife, disfigured in an automobile accident while he was a POW. God damn the ignorant RINO’s in Arizona who have continued to elect this horrible old man.
Lord, will some one please take this asshole out to the old ball game(so to speak)
He is the epitome of why there will never be a change in DC. The UniParty has rigged it so no matter who is in power, they are. Incumbents are reelected at a ~95% clip. Once you’re in, baby, you can write your own ticket. And it’s that way on both sides.
My Congressman, Mike Conaway, is such a lip lock that the dems didn’t even bother to run an opponent. And Heavens above, should some poor soul attempt to primary him, his real constituents, Big Oil/AG, would pour millions into his coffers to crush him.
And yaknow why? The same reason that McCain is now in his 7th!!! term. the same reason Orrin Hatch is going to run for his 8Th! term. The same reason that cadaver in MI was propped up for another term. Elections are kabuki. They’re for our benefit to make it seem like there’s a choice.
Oh MM, you’re so cynical. Why just a few years ago, the dems controlled Congress and had the presidency. And…? How are things different now? Yeah we got Gorsuch, that was a winner, a big one, no doubt. But McConnell & Ryan are slow walking this administration to 2020. They’re UniParty rat bastards.
God forbid we actually elect someone that promises to lower regulations, control immigration and put our country first, the UniParty will undermine him at every possible point. I hate to say it, but it sure looks like Trump is
weakening. He sure has backtracked on a bunch of promises. DC fever strikes again.
Soon I’m going to head for my retreat and end my days cut off from this bullshit and just ride my horse.
McCain seems insane, but the corrupt sack of filth may simply be greedy.
EXCLUSIVE: Soros, Clinton-Linked Teneo Among Donors to McCain Institute
Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain in 2012 turned over nearly $9 million in unspent funds from his failed 2008 presidential campaign to a new foundation bearing his name, the McCain Institute for International Leadership.
The institute is intended to serve as a “legacy” for McCain and “is dedicated to advancing human rights, dignity, democracy and freedom.” It is a tax-exempt non-profit foundation with assets valued at $8.1 million and associated with Arizona State University.
Conservative and liberal critics, however, believe the institute constitutes a major conflict of interest for McCain, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.
McCain, a former Navy pilot who was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and was then a prisoner of war in the infamous Hanoi Hilton until 1973, is a major political force in Washington, D.C. He is presently chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services.
Critics worry that the institute’s donors and McCain’s personal leadership in the organization’s exclusive “Sedona Forum” bear an uncanny resemblance to the glitzy Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) that annually co-mingled special interests and powerful political players in alleged pay-to-play schemes.
The institute has accepted contributions of as much as $100,000 from billionaire liberal activist-funder George Soros and from Teneo, a for-profit company co-founded by Doug Band, former President Bill Clinton’s “bag man.” Teneo has long helped enrich Clinton through lucrative speaking and business deals.
And Bloomberg reported in 2016 on a $1 million Saudi Arabian donation to the institute, a contribution the McCain group has refused to explain publicly.

The “McCain institute” – So, if I set up a foundation for bribes to be funneled to, and become a senator then it is legitimate? What the Clinton’s did is set up the framework for a racketeering business plan, that is used today by most of the robbers in Government positions. Now, the reason it is not being pursued under the RICO act is simply because these people make the laws, and decide whom they are applied to. His “foundation” has as much legitimacy of human rights as Saddam’s Baath party.
Remember, we had the real possibility of having HIM as president? Obama was a disaster for sure, but imagine what McCain would have done. Of course Hillary and McCain like each other, they both would probably end the world in their first term. I do not understand how people in AZ keep reelecting this asshat. EVERY TIME I read something with his name attached, it is usually synonymous with corruption, grift and the possibility of killing someone through war. And, what is worse is that he has been primaried a few times, and the candidates did get a close vote. This is part of the problem – it literally means that people went in to the voting booth, and voted for him ON PURPOSE. Sad, and brings to mind the root of the problem we have in this country – Sheeple do not pay any attention to anything until their cable does not work, and they can’t go and get their beer at the grocery store. Head in the sand for sure.
Hopefully he does not have healthy genes, and mother nature will finally end his reign of terror before more damage can be done, unfortunately, I suspect that the “voters” will find some new wholly corrupt asshat to take his place.
McCain also smiles that way when he visits his ISIS friends.

Headline On Drudge today: McCAIN INSTITUTE FUNDED BY SOROS
The labels of left and right mean nothing to the cabal, the only suckers who think it matters are the sheep. McStain is running a pay-to-play scheme like the Clinton Foundation. Keep dribbling pablum down your shirts fools.
The problem: at most 20 percent of our population recognize the name Soros.
Seeing McCain gaze at Hillary that way makes me wonder,would he rather make love to Hillary or Lindsay?
Vote yes for Hillary,no for Lindsay.
