While speaking at a press conference in Phoenix today John McCain showed off his foreign policy expertise by talking about the relationship between Russia and Czechoslovakia:
"I was concerned about a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several days. One was reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia. Apparently that is in reaction to the Czech’s agreement with us concerning missile defense, and again some of the Russian now announcement they are now retargeting new targets, something they abandoned at the end of the Cold War, is also a concern. So we see the tensions between Russia and their neighbors, as well as Russia and the United States are somewhat increasing."
With all the gaffs he's had in recent months it's nice to see him working on an obvious weak point. But here's the thing:
Czechoslovakia hasn't been a country for 15 years!!!
I've tried to stay away from political discourse for a few years, but it's election season, and John McCain't just doesn't have the marbles to lead this country let alone zip his own fly. He just doesn't.
Look - I liked the guy, and I would have voted for him in the past, but he's losing his mind, and for someone who has spent the last 20 years in the Senate he seems to have picked up no real knowledge about the world. If 7 1/2 years of ignorance in the White House hasn't been enough for you, and you're looking forward to at least 4 more years - fuck you. Say what you want about Obama, but at the very least - he's informed. And at this point that's good enough for me. |
