Arizona U.S. Sen. John McCain said something on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday about the U.S.’s handling of the ongoing standoff between Russia and Ukraine that surprised host Bob Schieffer.

“I’m ashamed of my country, I’m ashamed of my president and I’m ashamed of myself that I haven’t done more to help these people,” McCain said. “It is really, really heartbreaking.”

McCain was expressing his frustration with how the U.S. and major European powers like France and Germany have failed to stop Russian president Vladimir Putin’s advance on Ukraine.

“I believe that German chancellor and president of France legitimized for the first time in 70 years the dismemberment of a country in Europe. It’s shameful. Vladimir Putin has not paid any price,” McCain said.

McCain supports providing weapons to Ukraine to help fight against the Russians and pro-Russian separatists. The Ukranians “are not asking for American boots on the ground, but merely weapons to defend themselves against the Russian onslaught,” McCain said.

“Vladimir Putin wants Ukraine not to be part of Europe, and he is succeeding in doing so,” McCain continued, adding “this is really a dark chapter in the history of our alliance.”

Schieffer circled back to McCain’s comments about being ashamed because of the U.S.’s failure to intervene, expressing just how surprised he was to hear the Republican say that.

“I’ll say this, senator, I’ve known you for a long, long time, interviewed you many, many times, and I’ve never heard you say I’m ashamed of my country, which you just said,” said Shieffer.

“And I’m ashamed of myself,” McCain responded.

You have plenty to be ashamed of you old cs. People like you and the Kenyan are responsible for the shape the country is in.

To understand the viewpoint of the Ukrainians, it is helpful to read and view the past, something which many of them still recall.

In 1933/34 Russians had certain horrible deaths for the Ukrainians that refused to give up their homes and farms.

Millions perished, here are two ways the Russians enjoyed, just two.

Slice open their stomachs, pull out there small intestine, nail it to a pole, and then whip them to make them run around the pole.

Another, gouge out their eyeballs, and turn them loose.

Those are but two pastimes the Russians used.

It is all there for anyone to see, to read, if they care too.

And to think: Americans funded the revolution and then supported Stalin in the war. Who's worse? The enablers or the perpetrators? We sit back in relative ease (250,000 killed vs. millions) while the Russians do what you described above to the German people, and then we claim the victory.

Maybe Americans think they're culturally superior, although they financed or supplied much of the mayhem in the 20th century. Freedom though, what glorious freedom we have had!

I should have added that those years that the Ukrainians were being slaughtered, Putins Grandfather was working in the Kremlin for Stalin.

Just an added thought.

And Stalin came to power on a revolution paid for by American and UK bankers. I'll note that Jews run this country too. Why weren't we capable of stopping what we helped start over there when it happened to us?

I see no moral high ground here. Only self-delusion.

Point of interest...

Have you viewed some of the thousands of photos available concerning the Holodomor, read any or all of the writings of Gareth Jones, or Walter Duranty?

I'm aware of the Holodomor. As far as I'm concerned, Americans and the British allowed their bankers to create the conditions that produced it. Emma Goldman and John Reed were Americans rooting for the Bolsheviks. Americans had an obligation to police their international meddling. Without Schiff financing the Japs against the Russians in the 19th century Russo-Japan war, and without Leon Trotsky receiving $20 million in Schiff's gold to help finance the revolution, and without the pressures by the Anglo-French in the Crimea, the Czar would be in office today.

Is it better to encourage from a distance or take part directly in an atrocity? It would have been better if we had left well enough alone.

Viewed photos, studied, researched, attended lectures, for a background?

Cyni, my message is simple: if America doesn't get our Jews under control it'll be the same thing again and again. We're the engine that drove the Russian revolution. Our gold. Our political support. The Holodomor wouldn't have happened otherwise.

Your expertise on the Holodomor itself is interesting but it's beside the point: the Soviet "experiment" was created by American bankers and propped up (after the Holodomor) against a superior army by America's financing and materiel shipments.

Russia wouldn't have gone Soviet without us, and it would have ceased being soviet after WWII started if it hadn't been for us. For all I know, Jews were flocking to the Soviet union to help run the revolution during the Holodomor itself.

Take responsibility. WE did it. We're doing it again. WE won't stop until OUR Jews are under control.

Deasy, if one studies the issue, rather than go with the media flow, most often the real picture appears.

I would suggest such.

You've said elsewhere that the Russians are racially similar to Jews. Could it be that your hypothesis of racial culpability is mistaken?

The internet is replete with the views of survivors, they were there, they identify who the people were.

It makes interesting reading,, and enlightening.

Anyone could do what was done to the Ukranians, given Bolshevism and its task masters.

No,not anyone. This took the work of one man specifically: Genrikh Yogada. He loved the killing....tallied more than ten million.

In regards to the Holodomor:

Yagoda is held responsible, through his authority as a Soviet official, for the implementation of Stalin's policies that caused for the deaths of an estimated 5 to 7 million Ukrainians, primarily subsistence farmers, who opposed the Soviet collectivization policies, during the Holodomor famine in Ukraine. (Wiki)

Yogada earned disfavor from Stalin due to his ruthlessness and unfavorable public opinion as the people turned on him for the horrid executions. Yet, he killed and worked people to death for the love of it. Eventually, Stalin demoted and killed him. When he was sentenced he begged Stalin for mercy toting his building two canals.....

Are you saying that Yogoda killed 10 million personally? If he had a 30 year career in death working 12 hour days 365 days a year, I estimate that it would take about one person per minute of every day to kill that many people. He must have had help. He was a task master of death, if your sources are correct. He undoubtedly had assistance from Ukrainians, Russians, Mongols, Jews, and who knows who else.

My point is that under Jewish influence, even people on 4um can advocate senseless killings, and do, have, and will continue to do so. WWII was a Jewish war from start to finish. Everyone else lost.

That statement is ridiculous, to the point of being asinine.

It is merely an attack question, totally without merit.

Yes, he did. 5-7 million in Ukraine alone. I provided you a source. There are countless others. This is the man that ran the Gulags for crying out loud. He had orphans rounded up and shot on sight. Worked millions of others to death. The deaths are on on him. He enjoyed his work to the point of contention with Stalin.

I find it odd you do not know of Yogada and his death toll, especially in Ukraine.

Abs, Jethro...

This is what I have thought for some time that we have here...

""" Der Jüdische Selbsthass ("Jewish Self-hatred"), which tries to explain the prevalence of Jewish intellectuals inciting antisemitism with their extremely hateful view toward Judaism. Jewish self-hate has been described as a neurotic reaction to the impact of antisemitism by Jews accepting, expressing, and even exaggerating the basic assumptions of the anti-Semite."""

I ran it by a shrink friend, he agrees.

The being is not stupid, rather he is sick.

I call baloney on the lot of it. Arabs are Semites, yet say what you will with no fear. A good lot of Jewish people are not even Semites. Semitism is not synonymous with Judaism and never has been, until the connection became a useful tool. They did a good job of high jacking the term for their own uses.

Most of the Jewish intellectuals you speak of are not hateful toward Judaism but critical of the state of Israel. The claim of antisemitism is nothing but a trick to shut people up and taint the character of the speaker, provide a protected class for Jewish folks, and divert legitimate criticism of the state of Israel. Jewish self hatred is a make belief diagnosis to keep Jews from being critical of Israel.

Neurotic reactions indeed!

Once or twice a year some vicious "vandal" paints swastikas on s Synagogue somewhere. Usually a jew when caught.

The crop of jews in Israel since WWII are not Semites either.
