He wanted Trump to bomb North Korea He also wanted confrontational approaches with China. The man constantly pushed for war and arming dangerous groups worldwide. His passing is no loss.

I don't know if I would agree with his principles, but at least he had genuine beliefs, which is a step above the opportunistic impulsive clown currently in The White House.Some of Trump's comments about him being a coward and a surrenderer were beneath contempt. What McCain went through as a POW was beyond belief and for that draft dodger to talk like that about him was a total disgrace.

Libya - why couldn't we have just stood back and let the violence unfold, I mean that worked in Syria right? Bosnia and Kosovo - so intervening to stop a genocide was a bad thing, got it. Ukraine - yes those famous Ukrainian neo-nazi who are so strong they didn't manage to get into parliament in the last election. You want to make complaints about a man's policy fine; you might want to do more than just regurgitating the usual 'USA bad' tropes.
