Preface by Ralph Ely | TLB Editor-at-large
Sleep well my fellow Americans… Manufactured Heroes like Sen. John McCain are at the helm of our Republic keeping a steady hand on the tiller, least we are pulled off course by dark forces. (Only in his dreams.)
Let’s cut to the chase. McCain took a call from Russian Phone Pranksters and discussed matters of state with them and obviously did not vet them before running his mouth. If President Trump or any of the Trump Team (confirmed or not) had done this the N.Y. Times would have had banner headlines screaming “Tyranny” “Treason” and calling for a Firing Squad.
If ever there was a reason for John McCain to retire, this would be it.

The news comes as the pranksters called US Congresswoman Maxine Waters, the one who earlier claimed that “Putin is continuing to advance into Korea,” to say that Russia has invaded Limpopo, an African river that the politician believed to be a country in Africa.
Having introduced themselves as Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, Kuznetsov and Stolyarov also discussed the sanctions against Russia with Waters.
Following the incident, Peskov said Kremlin was not linked to the prank phone calls and appreciated the fact that nobody had the idea to accuse Moscow of the tricks.
The sanctions issue was also discussed with US republicans, according to the hoaxers.

“We have pranked McCain, Lindsey Graham and the Republican Majority leader in Congress McConnell in the Congress Mitch McConnell on the issue of anti-Russian sanctions, however, we can not tell the details yet,” Kuznetsov said.
Since 2014, relations between Russia and the European Union and the United States, deteriorated amid the crisis in Ukraine. Brussels, Washington and their allies introduced several rounds of sanctions against Russia on the pretext of its alleged involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, which Moscow has repeatedly denied. In response to the restrictive measures,Russia has imposed a food embargoon some products originating in countries that have targeted it with sanctions.Since then, NATO has been building up its military presence in Europe, particularly in eastern European countries bordering Russia, using Moscow’s alleged interference in Ukraine as a pretext.
