John McCain Responds To Russia's Sanctions, "Cancels Spring Break In Siberia"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While the US administration continues to fire 'sanction' bullets at Russia and explains how painful these will be, Senator John McCain - in response to his own sanctioning by the Russians - has responded... (as has John Boehner)

Via John McCain's website,

U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following statement on being sanctioned by Russian President Vladimir Putin:

 

I guess this means my spring break in Siberia is off, my Gazprom stock is lost, and my secret bank account in Moscow is frozen.

 

Nonetheless, I will never cease my efforts on behalf of the freedom, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea.”

A few more of the exclusive club of sanctioned Americans have commented too...

Ok, the only place in the world that knows what "Spring Break" is, is N. America. Everyone else in the Christian world knows it as Easter. When one does research one finds out that spring break is full of hedonism, while Easter is the opposite, it is full of rememberance and sorrow. Don't believe me, then ask your local Russian Orthodox about it.

Flac, you're only partially correct: Easter is the greatest and most joyful holiday of Orthodox Christians because of its significance as a victory over death. I believe what you are speaking of is Lent, the 6-week period of fasting and abstinence (both physical and mental/emotional with the latter being more important, as in abstaining from bad thoughts, bad/ unthoughtful words) preceeding Easter.

Oh, and even though "joyful" can ring a Ft. Lauderdale bell of orgies and mindless exuberance, it ain't even near... Joyful means spending more time with your closest ones and visiting all your older relatives.

Well Easter, the rabbit and the eggs are all pagan symbols (god of fertility and all) but personally if I died and got raised from the dead and a bunch of people are still "sorry" about it, that tells me all I need to know about modern christiandumb. When it comes to getting it right they could not hit a bull in the ass with a 2x4. God must just shake his figurative head at the continual stupidity when they have the dagone book laying on their coffee table collecting dust.

You got it right boboo. Modern Christiandumb. 

"Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter" was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god. Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion. Some have wondered why the word "Easter" is in the the King James Bible. It is because Acts, chapter 12, tells us that it was the evil King Herod, who was planning to celebrate Easter, and not the Christians. The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but in some years, they are a great distance apart.

The merging of paganism and christiandom  by Rome. Will not go down that road..

Make-Believe Maverick - A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty


"Soon after McCain hit the ground in Hanoi, the code went out the window. 'I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital,' he later admitted pleading with his captors."

"In fact, his wounds were attended to only after the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a Navy admiral. What has never been disclosed is the manner in which they found out: McCain told them."

"Once the Vietnamese realized they had captured the man they called the 'crown prince,' they had every motivation to keep McCain alive. His value as a propaganda tool and bargaining chip was far greater than any military intelligence he could provide, and McCain knew it."

"But during the course of his medical treatment, McCain followed through on his offer of military information. Only two weeks after his capture, the North Vietnamese press issued a report — picked up by The New York Times — in which McCain was quoted as saying that the war was 'moving to the advantage of North Vietnam and the United States appears to be isolated.' He also provided the name of his ship, the number of raids he had flown, his squadron number and the target of his final raid."

"McCain spent the next three and a half years in Hanoi biding his time, trying to put on weight and regain his strength, as the bombing ordered by his father escalated. By the time he and other POWs were freed in March 1973 as a result of the Paris Peace Accords, McCain was able to leave the prison camp in Hanoi on his own feet."

he knew enough to bail out though. "just in time" as it turned out.

"the after action review doesn't let you lie to yourself" i'm afraid.
not to disrespect anyone's opinion here (again?) but i will say "vote for talking points, get talking points." (including our own?)

You really want some action...don't be surprised if you get some.
I know it sounds "back asswards" but in My View Senator McCain is keeping us out of war (talking tough)...not "saying we're not going to war" while in fact "escalating." (i would call the latter "devious" or "deceitful"...not saying it is!...just saying "those are the words that come to mind.)

In other words when the policy action ("escalation") is the exact opposite of the words ("we want off-ramps") then clearly you're going to have to change the words because "the train has left the station here" and "you're forgetting to put yourself into the equation." (how come my own words are the exact opposite of what in fact are the cause of my own words?)

In other "words" sure... "we want a diplomatic solution"...but that is a long way from "having diplomacy" (talking to your enemy) which is where these "things" begin. (there is no diplomatic solution on the table folks...nor will there be...probably for at lest twenty years now.) Shall we be surprised if one day...SOON...(next week?) "I say we will not go to war in Ukraine" becomes "speech for why we are at war with Russia and I need you to serve"? I hope not.

Again...there are no reserves to call up here.
(This "cold war" redux seems pretty hot to me.)
And at some point the billions spent on "24/7 coverage of the missing jet liner" will be spent.
We're already up to our eyeballs in Ukraine...so there is no "off ramp" there for either Russia or the USA or Europe...or even "Ukraine" when it comes to that.

Now Europe itself will escalate in my view (according to Putin "they started it")...and Putin might feel forced to respond to that FAR MORE REAL threat (two massive invasions in two centuries...yes, yes?) of an "antagonistic"(?) Europe.

So i say again "this situation looks like Defcom 1 to me."
Full disclosure: i have no more information available to me than anyone else here. "And the only thing on the news is the missing jet liner" (other than what I read at ZH ironically...and amazingly...enough.)

Putin if he retaliates ("Crimea was a trap and I fell right into it") will not strike Ukraine (in my view "that's property of the USA" now.) He's not gonna hit the Baltic States either (too small...not a threat.) But he sure might take a shot at Warsaw.

And for all you home gamers out there "that's how World War II started."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGNBdjVO04Y

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-safe
this is why i never understood that train crash in Quebec "et al" (although i can think of a lot of bad reasons for why these things happen now of course.) "it should be impossible for a train to run away without anyone at the controls." the train is designed so if the engineer is incapacitated in ANY way or...OBVIOUSLY...simply NOT PRESENT...the train simply stops...or literally..."can't move." in other words "this ain't Khan lookin' for the over-ride button" folks. These "things" CANNOT (be allowed?) move.

if you're dealing with a world of "mili-seconds"...this is a very important concept.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_positivism
are orders "to be followed" or "to be obeyed"?
how about "the law"?

in a "data dependent world" we look for information in our quest for understanding ("innocent until proven guilty"...a "following" or "jury")...but in a positivist world "the law is to be obeyed" (the rules are the rules...you will obey them) so strict adherence to procedure ("take your hat off in court") is as important if not more so than the actual "outcome" of the "proceeding." ("not guilty"/"guilt as charged.")

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoC2cS45ICc&feature=player_detailpage
so, yes..."one man, in the ring...with the bull."
but for the crowd to be interested "the procedures must be followed." for example..."you exist to draw them into your battle."

sure, you practice...you train...but this is not about "logic" or "deductive reasoning." this is acceptance of the rules as a given ("obeyance") and then "acting out" (or "upon" as it were) in the most real of contexts (this is no Opera or Play. This is a real man...with a real bull. There is a crowd...yes...but do not mistake this for entertainment, yes?

In psychology you might call it "establishing reality first" by asking your "self" the question "do i actually see it? do i actually understand it? is this in fact "real" or am i simply imagining it?"

a simple "catch phrase" is "where Angels fear to tread" (Crimea) "fools rush in."
in the positivist tradition "you would have followed procedure and not rushed in."

Using "deductive" or a "data gathering approach" you might become "impatient" and not wait/be in a position to wait...before "being the decider." sorry if this is boring...sounds boring i guess and probably is...but i think it's important because sometimes "you run into a philosophical tradition" ("we are superior to you because we obey rules") from which there is no "turning back" once you INSTIGATE something.

Inject "feelings" and "emotions"...to paraphrase a famous Chinese saying ("very not bad")...this is a very, very, very bad. there is no "Year of the Mouse" in China.

There is a Year of the Dragon however...

McCain is an ASS. Russia's right to annex Crimea is far more ethical than the US's incursions into Iraq, Grenada, Panama,Pakistan, Yemen etc. The list goes on.

Russian gave Ukraine Crimea. They can take it back. especially since most Crimeans want to have nothing to do with the sinking sink called Kiev.

Why doesn't McCain go after Israel for annexing the west bank?

You don't have a clue, nor does anyone else, as to how Putin crushes his opponents internally, other than those affected. I will admit our share of responsibility over those wars, but don't come off that Putin is all lily white here. They are all petrified by this dictator, and for good reason.

The times bring out great men and expose the traitors and the cowards. With America’s undeclared war on Russia on behalf of the IMF and the banking cartel, the names of public figures are being tossed around. And if Americans who have despised John McCain and John Boehner now gain new respect for these men because they are on “Putin’s list,” they are siding with the thugs of Kiev and the subjugation of the Ukrainian people to the IMF and, eventually, themselves.

Personally, I would not be happy to be on a list with Harry Reid.

 “A people may want a free government, but if, from insolence, or carelessness, or cowardice, or want of public spirit, they are unequal to the exertions necessary for preserving it, if they will not fight for it when it is directly attacked; if they can be deluded by the artifices used to cheat them out of it; if by momentary discouragement or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet of even a great man, or trust him with powers which enable him to subvert their institutions; in all these cases they are more or less unfit for liberty; and though it may be for their good to have had it even for a short time, they are unlikely long to enjoy it.”—John Stuart Mill

McCain doesn't get it.  Russia doesn't want to talk with him.  They don't care what he does or what he says.  The sanctions by the United States and Russia mean they will not seek diplomatic terms.

Despite everyone's joking these sanctions have deep meaning implications - it is clear there is a new cold war.

It's become so incredibly burdensome to even respond at this point as you battle one wave the next bigger one just comes behind it that devastates even more. 

I thought Syria last September was the U.S. military’s way of saying we’re not going to get into another Vietnam. Then 6 months later they go after Russia? How is it not possible that these aberration(s) in succession don’t resonate at all with even the most incompetent and ignorant of the American lot?

I think I've made the conscientious choice to give up on the "blogs" entirely as we see time and again even on this site that the words are profound and speak loudly of our discontent to the system that controls us -but nobody is willing to take the real risks in making the changes they know they must if they want to avoid a total collapse and breakdown to occur.

I’ll say it again.  9/11 was “the wake-up call” of all wake-up calls, followed by TARP and it’s been progressively all downhill from that day forward.  The powers that be have been resolute and proven time and again they can get away with anything and more importantly will be allowed to do so at our expense.

Such a pity and waste the gift that is the worldwide web couldn’t change it?… Or should I say the people that realized it’s significance and potential couldn’t reach the majority to make that change a reality?
