80-year-old Senator John McCain is never shy to advocate for America entering yet another foreign conflict or expanding NATO so the United States can assert its hegemony in places where it probably wouldn’t be all that productive.
In this case, the Eastern European nation of Macedonia is no exception to that thinking; in a Senate debate on whether that nation should join the ranks of the countries belonging to NATO, Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky simply objected, for which McCain barked that Paul was acting virtually as a traitor to the U.S.
But Paul has some choice words for McCain, as this clip shows, and it’s quite likely the senator from Kentucky is correct by saying that the financial realities of the United States’ federal budget outweigh the globalist priorities of neoconservatives like McCain.
One has to wonder if the Arizona voters that gave their senator a sixth term in office really know what he’s doing or what he stands for. He’s certainly no friend of President Trump’s (or most conservatives), based on his policies of reckless spending on wars that he appears to hope will never end.
By the completion of his latest term, McCain may well be the oldest member of the Senate, and rants like this one make observers wonder what keeps him going. Watch as Senator Paul has no trouble calling it like he sees it and spelling out what he really thinks about the senator from Arizona.
