How can one senator kill a vote?
Sen. John McCain on Wednesday accused fellow Sen. Rand Paul of doing Russian President Vladimir Putin's bidding after Paul blocked an attempt to vote on a treaty for NATO membership for Montenegro.
"The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin," McCain bluntly said of Paul on the Senate floor following the dust-up.
The Arizona Republican, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, was joined on the Senate floor by Democrats Ben Cardin of Maryland and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire to push for debate and a vote on the treaty. But Paul, who has opposed further expansion of NATO, objected to McCain's request to consider the measure.
Russia has sought to prevent the small Balkan nation from coming under Western influence, and McCain warned about Russian attempts to destabilize Montenegro's government.
The treaty is expected to garner wide support in the Senate. Twenty-three of the 28 NATO member nations have voted in favor of Montenegro joining the alliance.
McCain slammed Paul for killing the vote "without any justification or any rationale."
"If there is objection, you are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin," McCain said. "You are achieving the objectives of trying to dismember this small country, which has already been the subject of an attempted coup."

McCain is seriously losing it.
He needs to retire before everyone sees it.
The irony.
WTF is Paul's deal here?
WC doesn't like John McCain because Agent Orange (AKA Trump) isn't a fan either.
Did Paul explain himself?
The mighty empire of Montenegro

not that long ago you guys were salivating for mccain.
the worm has turned.
thanks for being who we know you are.
nah, he just muttered something in russian on his way out
Do you even understand the vote? It's to put the NATO shield around Montenegro and protect it from Russia precisely because it isn't a mighty empire -- not because we need Montenegro to ever come to our aid.

Its actually basically so they can get land to put more nukes pointing at Russia. Thats what joining Nato has basically become these days
McCain has such a hard on to go to war with Russia that the Leftist MSM propaganda machine has fully enveloped him with open arms.
Yeah that's the reason
Well what's the real reason Paul voted it down?Yeah that's the reason

He's an isolationist.
So it can still go through the Senate or it's dead now?
McCain needs to retire already. He probably ran for President so he could fight Russia.
