The violent uprising in Ukraine should make Russian President Vladimir Putin “nervous” about his own leadership in Russia, and a partition of Ukraine is “totally unacceptable,” Sen. John McCain said Sunday.
“They want to be western,” the Arizona Republican, appearing on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” said of the Ukrainian people. “They don’t want to be eastern.”

He has no fixed place in the future of nations that are solvently trying to bring about better relationships with blessings of western democracy. Putin lives to square off his own ingratitude with the west. He is not a future for the Jewish people in any way as a leader or as a construct of higher freedoms as his way is a blameful indiscretion of understood poverty and discontinuity of higher dreams. And the pages of history keep turning.
