Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, declared on Sunday that Russia is “a gas station masquerading as a country” and that the United States should be providing military and energy assistance to Ukraine and imposing economic sanctions on Russia mid the fast-moving situation in the region.
“I think that economic sanctions are a very important step,” Mr. McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. It’s kleptocracy; it’s corruption. It’s a nation that is really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important. Give some military assistance to Ukrainians at least so they can defend themselves.”
Mr. McCain also called on the U.S. to resume a plan for missile defense installations in Poland and the Czech Republic, a scheme strongly opposed by Russia that President Obama put the brakes on early in his first term.

God bless the GOP! Nobody can dehumanize entire so-called "nations" with one sweeping statement. And since America is without sin, we have a God given right to cast stones at our enemies. I hope he rattles China's cage next. I'm going to stock up on popcorn, this is gonna be great!
