Not more complicated than that, it is also important to know that McCain is known as a spoiled brat, demands his way all the time, very arrogant and so on, so imagine his reaction to being the first white guy to lose to a Black guy in a prez election.

They would have retired his ass when he had a little aircraft accident on the Forestall. That way he would not have gone down and became a prisoner and perhaps never become the cranky racist asshole Senator, that we all know now.

“There is not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shias, so I think they can probably get along.”
