Senator John McCain said Sunday he is ashamed of the lack of help being given to Ukraine in its fight against Russian-backed separatists.
“I’m ashamed of my country, I’m ashamed of my president and ashamed of myself that I haven’t done more to help these people,” McCain told “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer.
Schieffer didn’t’ let the comment pass, noting, “I’ll say this, senator, I’ve known you for a long, long time, interviewed you many, many times. I’ve never heard you say I’m ashamed of my country, which you just said.”
McCain said German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande have legitimized the dismemberment of a country in Europe for the first time since World War II. The two met with leaders in Kiev and Moscow last week, and have urged the United States not to send arms to the Ukrainians.
“Ukrainians aren’t asking for American boots on the ground,” McCain said. “They’re asking for weapons to defend themselves, they’re being slaughtered and military is being shattered.”
McCain has long urged arming Ukraine. He noted that it doesn’t have weapons to stop Russian tanks currently inside eastern Ukraine.

Obama doesn’t care
Boruch Osama are Obama
or is the other way around?
McCain: I’ve been ashamed of Obama since the moment you handed the election to him in November 2008.
I heard this interview and was stunned. Does he not know about the breakup of the Soviet Union, most of whose population was in Europe? After that, the UK, France, and Germany not only legitimized the dismemberment of Yugoslavia, but actively pushed for it. They then accepted the breakup of Czechoslovakia.
McCain is a great man, but his understanding of world affairs and policies that stem from that understanding aren’t great.
(And frankly, as a Jew, when Russians are fighting Ukrainians, I want them both to lose.)
Am I the only Jewish who voted for this war hero?
The rest of you are pathetic.
Im just 1/3rd of the man McCain is. I’m only ashamed of obama
