John McCain's 11-Step Plan To Impose "Costs" On Russia

Tyler Durden's picture




 

U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement on the need to provide greater support to Ukraine and impose additional costs on Russia in the wake of the Russian government’s annexation of Crimea today... clearly seeking the diplomatic way out...

 

Statement by Senator John McCain on Ukraine

“In response to the Russian government’s annexation of Crimea today, the United States should provide greater support to Ukraine and impose additional costs on Russia, including:

  1. “Pass the bipartisan legislation that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved last week, which authorizes $1 billion in loan guarantees for Ukraine, democracy and security assistance for Ukraine, targeted sanctions against Russian officials, and steps to strengthen the IMF’s ability to be a stronger partner to Ukraine.
  2. “Work with NATO to rush plane-loads of food and other humanitarian assistance to Ukrainian soldiers and civilians in eastern Ukraine.
  3. “Work through the OSCE to approve and deploy a large civilian monitoring mission in eastern Ukraine that could help set the record straight about alleged threats to ethnic Russians and reveal Putin's effort to inflame the situation as a pretext for further aggression.
  4. “Rush the modest military assistance to the Ukrainian government that its leaders have requested, including some small arms and ammunition, as well as significant non-lethal assistance, such as protective equipment, spare parts, fuel, and sharing of intelligence.
  5. “Work with NATO and other partners to support the Ukrainian government in designing and resourcing a long-term assistance program to rebuild and reform Ukraine’s military.
  6. “Enhance NATO's force presence, security cooperation, and military exercises, especially in Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries.
  7. “Work within NATO to take all necessary steps that can prepare for the expansion of the alliance to include countries such as Georgia and Montenegro as soon as possible.
  8. “Expand significantly the U.S. and E.U. targeted sanctions against the most corrupt Russian government officials, companies, and financial institutions.
  9. “Use the Magnitsky Act to sanction additional Russian officials for their gross violations of human rights.
  10. “Take more assertive steps to isolate Russia internationally, including by repeated votes in the U.N. Security Council and a G-7 boycott of the G-8 Summit in Sochi.
  11. “Take steps to permit and enhance the exportation of U.S. oil and natural gas, especially to NATO allies and other European partners, in order to decrease Europe's reliance on Russian supplies of energy.

The United States and our allies and partners must remain committed to supporting the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, which includes Crimea.”

 

Seems like lots of spending, not much talking, and a whole lot that will set in place retaliation...

Only 11 will happen and probably sooner than later at this rate. That one the gas and oil companies having been pushing hard to have lifted even prior to Ukraine.

Remember never let a good crisis go to waste.

The only one I agree with is #4, at least give the Ukrainians the opportunity to defend themselves, they certainly are not going to attack Russia.

McCain is a crazy mix of Biden and W.

He is missing step 9

Step 9

"Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others." In many cases, admitting you're wrong, apologizing and informing a person that you're getting help is enough to have that person's support. However, sometimes people have been seriously hurt or are in a position where an apology or trying to make amends would make a situation worse. Through the group, decisions can be made as to who will be best served by trying to make amends and who may be more hurt by it than anything else. For instance, drunk driving accidents, napalm victims, political foes, the people of Arizona may be something a person wants to apologize for, but not all people will be ready to hear an apology.

The banker cartel  has nothing to complain about with toady McCain; he certainly has done all he can to push their empire, both at home and abroad. If there’s a pause in warmongering for a day, McCain opens his mouth and a willing media stands ever ready to repeat every word, cover every trip he makes on behalf of the war machine.

Statement by Veterans Today on “Hanoi John McCain”:

·         Why did you have your service record and POW debriefing classified FOREVER?

·         Did you provide military secrets to North Vietnam as stated by Colonel Earl Hopper of Army Intelligence?

·         Did you narrate 32 propaganda broadcasts for the North Vietnamese and give interviews to communist papers as is stated at www.mccainbetrayspows.com?

·         Why have you kept your Presidential Pardon secret?  Did you know that you are the only person serving in Congress with a Presidential pardon?

·         Was Colonel Hopper accurate when he accused you of providing flight paths and altitude information to North Vietnamese gunners, to help them shoot down American planes?

·         Are you aware that Colonel Ted Guy was in the process of preparing treason charges against you when you received your presidential pardon?

·         Why did you work to end all POW inquiries?  Why are you referred to as the Manchurian Candidate by POW/MIA groups?

if one cares, mccain was told to lose the election in 08, he took a dive in the 7th round and got counted out in the 10th, by TKO. too obvious for most to believe, too crazy to contemplate that a wet behind the ears negroid of unk parents and backround beat his white' in the inner circle of dc" ass like a drum.

John McCain is the worst kind of traitor. He is the one who allowed the non natural born Citizen Usurper Obama to attain the Presidency, and allowed foreign interests to infiltrate the WH. Resolution 511 (Sponsored by Obama and H. Clinton) was set up to allow the Usurper Obama to attain the WH. It declared McCain was a natural born Citizen by miscontruing the Naturalization Act of 1798 which created a statutory natural born Citizen class of the children born of US military abroad. ("Shall be CONSIDERED AS NATURAL BORN CITIZENS") which was revoked by the NA 1802.

The Act assumed that foreign US military bases are US territory, when they are certainly not. The Resolution (which has no force in law) affirmed the Minor v. Happersett (88 US 162, 167) definition of "born in the US of US Citizen parents", yet sitting in plain sight was the sponsor of the bill, who was born notoriously of a foreign father--- yet no questions were asked of him.

McCain was born in a foreign country (the PCZ) and needed a statute to make him a US Citizen (8 US Code 1403-- "Children born of US Citizens in the PCZ"). Therefore he is not a natural born Citizen either. Natural born Citizens need no statute to be a US Citizen--- they are born of US Citizen parents on US soil-- what else would they be?--- natural law.

McCain had the sole best standing to ask whether Obama was eligible, since he was a candidate for President (but he wasn't eligible either, so all parties knew he would not ask-- which is why they needed another ineligible candidate-- Hillary was paid off by appointment as SOS, and she helped by sponsoring Resolution 511).

What is the penalty for Treason (which the democrats were attempting to lessen a few months ago)?

Not for nothing it turns out have I been reading all that prepper literature and watching those poor trailer trash yahoos play army in the dark.  I'm ready.  Totally read Mr. McCain.  You push them red devils, push them good.  And if things go to hell in a handbasket I've got a whole shitload of brown rice and dehydrated crap I can fix up for us and your family, although that one gay daughter has to rethink a few things.  Better to rule the rubble with pride intact than to let that pooper Putin show he has bigger balls than our shy and retiring, probably Muslim, not born in America, President shame our national something or other.

Mr. McCain is known to have fought in Vietnam. I believe he has enough civilian blood on his hands. Is it that he can’t live without such horrible disgusting scenes as the butchering of Gaddafi?”

my favorite.

“Mr. McCain was taken prisoner in Vietnam and was put, not just in jail, but in a pit! He sat there for several years. Any person would go nuts from that!”
