First Ukraine, then the Bering Strait?
Sen. Lindsey Graham joked Monday that the U.S. might need to watch out for Russian President Vladimir Putin on our own turf if things continue.
“I just hope we don’t lose Alaska. The more [President Barack] Obama talks to Putin the worse we do,” the South Carolina Republican cracked on “Kilmeade and Friends” on Fox News Radio.
Appearing on the show with his frequent partner in foreign policy, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Graham said the situation in Ukraine is a “defining moment” for Obama and he needs to rally Europe to stand up to Putin.
“[German Chancellor Angela] Merkel’s the key here. The president has to rally the European nations, the Western European nations,” Graham said. “[Putin]’s a one-trick pony when it comes to the economy. Russia’s an oil and gas company corruptly run called a country. They have one commodity, they need to sell it as much as Europe needs to buy it.”
Both senators agreed that the Obama administration has not been projecting enough strength in the world, and that decisions Obama made about Syria last year, among other issues, led Putin to think he could make a move on Ukraine.
Graham said it’s time for the hourlong phone conversations between the two leaders to end.

Kamchatka is certainly across the (Bering) strait from Alaska!
Shades of "The Mouse that Roared."
The red star on a white field in the California flag comes from the Lone Star of California flag created by American settlers in California who tried to create an independent republic in the 1830’s.
If Graham wins his primary, a big part of the blame goes to Fox, which helps him tremendously by giving him endless hours on air. The name recognition alone that he gets from that has immense value to any politician.
Has Graham ever been seen in public with a woman? Is he married with/children? Just curious...I’ve heard “rumors” :-(/
Nice tagline :))
thought so. Striking distance
hear...hear!!!
All Lindsey has to get is get Jan Brewer to fly into Charleston and endorse him.
Did they have checks then? Was it a letter of credit instead?
After Cornball’s 59 percent, Lindsey is certain to get at least 54 percent.
