US media: Senator McCain has not appeared on Capitol Hill since the beginning of the year.

107
Oklahoma Senator (USA) James Inhof said that despite the serious illness of John McCain, it is McCain who makes the main decisions on the US Senate Arms Committee. Inhof notes that he himself presides over the meetings, but “the actual chairmanship remains with John McCain.”

This topic Inhofe was forced to touch upon questions from journalists about how the defense committee of the upper house of the US Congress works due to the absence of John McCain.



It is known that since the beginning of this year, McCain has not yet appeared, not only in the committee he heads, but in general on Capitol Hill. An 81-year-old Republican, reportedly from around December 14, is undergoing treatment in Arizona for a form of cancer.

In connection with the absence of McCain, the position of the committee at the meeting on the topic “Global Challenges and the US National Security Strategy” was represented precisely by Inhof, who diligently announced that the position was agreed with McCain. Inhofe also read a letter to the audience, written by McCain on the occasion of the meeting, in which the head of the armament committee urged to focus on "confronting global challenges for the United States."

US media: Senator McCain has not appeared on Capitol Hill since the beginning of the year.


The state of McCain was commented by another Senator Lindsey Graham. According to him, last week he met with a colleague who "does everything to restore physical fitness."

Graham:
I hope John will be back soon.


At the same time, Republicans say that today the discussion of the US defense strategy and options for responding to global challenges is being conducted "with the absence of an uncompromising position of McCain." Such a situation is called "bad for American interests."

          If you look at the photo of McCain in the stroller, you can see that his left side is paralyzed: he holds his left hand in his right, and his left leg is tied to an armchair.

    It’s scary to imagine what decisions a person can take who has a terminal stage of brain oncology belay
    In his last speech, he seems to tryndel that in the next 4 years the United States should unleash a great war, otherwise they risk losing their leading role in the world. At the same time, he himself understands that he will not live up to this moment, and therefore no one will ask him for calls for an aggressive war.

    A man with rotten brains determines US policy on weapons ... I'm afraid he wants to drag us all to the next world! But what are the other senators thinking about?

    But when he moves his hooves, I will be even a little sorry. Another real enemy will leave. There remains more and more some kind of ... darya ...
    A good enemy, principled and not grumpy, worthy of even respect.
    Vali is already in his hell and rest there with what is supposed to be.

    When is this vile t .... dead? His so-called “speeches” in Congress are something with something: he begins to speak like normal, then faster and faster, he begins to “choke”, foam and saliva fly out of his mouth, his eyes fill up, etc. signs of a madman and they endure it ... they endure for the fanatical upholding of the interests of the United States and especially the defense complex. Moreover, such sayings that do not forgive others are forgiven. For example, he recently stated that the US population needs to be partially sent to labor camps so that they benefit the country there, and not live on benefits like "pa-zi-you." He also constantly speaks out about the return to universal military service — those who are weak or cannot serve with weapons for other reasons — to be sent to the same labor battalions, such as the "construction battalion."

    It was high time for him, not to Capitol Hill, but to the crematorium.

    There is nothing to hurt about this. Everyone will be there. On a visit to God there are no delays. Everyone will have to answer.

    Is he still chilling in this world? There, at the Righteous Judgment, they were waiting to hear a confession from him about their deeds and to render what they deserved.

    I'm just in shock with the comments read. HOW can a person wish this, even if he is an enemy? The site, created to discuss military events and weapons, turns into a harassment of everything and everything - offensive names of countries, peoples and so on. Unfortunately, we are degrading ... not for this site was created.

    For example, I respect McCain. After a long imprisonment in captivity, he was able to realize himself in a peaceful life, as a family man, a citizen of his country and politician. I even read his appeal to the Russians, where he spoke more respectfully about us than other commentators on this site about Americans or Jews. In general, according to Christianity, a painful and painful death is given to a person in atonement for his earthly sins. So maybe in a better world he will be forgiven by the Almighty for what he did on a sinful earth.
