Most American sources introduced McCain as an activist in the U.S. political
arena, and regretted his death. However, they didn't point out McCain's dreams
which were "gone with the wind dreams"! They mentioned McCain as a person who
believed in American values, and a Patriotic Senator, and tried to make a hero
of him. Indeed, in the American political atmosphere, which now has people like
Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and Trump standing on top of its political equations,
McCain could well be considered a hero!
John McCain came forth in the 2008 presidential elections with an anti-Iranian
approach. Even in hostile statements, he spoke about bombing Iran (the nuclear
sites of our country). In any case, McCain failed in the electoral competitions
against Barack Obama and did not have the opportunity to make his conspiracies
against our country come true. However, as the Senator of Arizona, he did took
lots of measures against our country.
The overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran and regime change was McCain's
particular goal and dream; a wish that he had to finally take it to the grave!
McCain repeatedly advocated the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran by
supporting the terrorist group of "Munafiqeen" and, of course, in return for
receiving money from members of the group, he promised them to do his best to
make this goal come to reality.
Of course, it should be admitted that McCain, like other Republican and
Democratic politicians, did his best in this regard, but was ultimately defeated
against Iran's regime and nation. Without a doubt, McCain is one of the symbols
of the United States' defeat against the Islamic Republic of Iran. During the
past four decades, he took any possible action in opposition to Islamic Iran,
and eventually died without reaching his hideous goals.
Undoubtedly, McCain's fate awaits other American politicians! From young
senators, such as Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, to those like Donald Trump and John
Bolton, all will die in the near future, while "Islamic Iran" will continue to
bloom with strength. Undoubtedly, the current U.S. president and previous
presidents, as their predecessor, will die waiting to see the collapse of the
Islamic Republic of Iran.
McCain is not just a single person today! McCain is a symbol of the failure and
ruination of the United States against the Iranian nation. American authorities
have become the symbol of this failure, in their own way. Symbols that will soon
leave this world, just like John McCain, without reaching their sinister goals
in confrontation with Iran.
Another point to be considered here over McCain's death, is about Donald Trump's
reaction to this subject. It should not be forgotten that McCain was a symbol of
a "discontent Republicans" who challenged the White House' policies. The reason
for McCain's opposition to Trump has been the lack of cooperation on the side
the U.S. president. This opposition isn't limited to the recent months and was
strong even before the 2016 presidential election campaign.
Over the past two years, there have been many political differences between
John McCain and Trump. In Jiang, McCain has explicitly criticized Trump's
policies. Trump and McCain disagreed on many topics. McCain often criticized the
current U.S. president's foreign policy, and Trump fought back by criticizing
the Arizona senator for opposing the abolition of a cost-effective health care
law.
In 2015, Trump called McCain a war hero because he was captured. Senator McCain
was captured during the Vietnam War and tortured for six years. Trump then said
in response to widespread criticism that he likes those who were not captured.
As reported by the Washington Post, Trump nixed issuing a statement that praised
the heroism and life of Sen. John McCain, telling senior aides he preferred to
issue a tweet before posting one Saturday night that did not include any kind
words for the Arizona Republican.
Washington Post added; "Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Chief of Staff
John F. Kelly and other White House aides advocated for an official statement
that gave the decorated Vietnam War POW plaudits for his military and Senate
service and called him a "hero,” according to current and former White House
aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal
deliberations. The original statement was drafted before McCain died Saturday,
and Sanders and others edited a final version this weekend that was ready for
the president, the aides said."
But Trump told aides he wanted to post a brief tweet instead, and the statement
praising McCain’s life was not released.
"My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain.
Our hearts and prayers are with you!” Trump posted Saturday evening shortly
after McCain’s death was announced.
Some American politicians criticized U.S. President Tweet for the death of Sen.
McCain. In any case, Trump is deeply concerned that McCain's death will turn the
midterm elections' results against him, and this is what scares the U.S.
President and his companions.
