Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wrote a letter to the editors of The Wall Street Journal that was published on Tuesday in which he vowed that the U.S. Senate was ready to “grind” Vladimir Putin’s “war machine to a halt” if President Donald Trump is unable to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine soon.
Graham, one of the most hawkish GOP senators, wrote his letter in response to a scathing Journal editorial titled, “Time for a GOP Senate Revolt on Sanctions Against Putin.” In the editorial, the Journal’s board argues for the GOP to advance Graham’s bill that would “hit countries that buy Russian oil and gas with tariff sanctions.”
Graham promoted his legislation in his letter, writing, “The bill would put Russia on a trade island, slapping 500% tariffs on any country that buys Moscow’s energy products. The consequences of its barbaric invasion must be made real to those that prop it up. If China or India stopped buying cheap oil, Mr. Putin’s war machine would grind to a halt.”
The South Carolina Republican offered kind words for Trump’s efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, but made clear that he was ready to act alone if Trump failed.
Republican offered kind words for Trump’s efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, but made clear that he was ready to act alone if Trump failed. “While Ukraine has made clear it is ready for such an end, Russia has made more excuses than the market can bear. President Trump has asked Vladimir Putin to provide a term sheet outlining the requirements for a cease-fire, bringing the roadblocks to peace to a head. Depending on how Russia responds, we will know which course to take,” Graham wrote, adding, “The Senate is prepared either way.”

You go girl. Go get ‘em Linda.
Bought and paid for Deep State faggot.
Yep, Miss Linda is ready to grind!!!!
War monger says what?
How does he plan to do that? Just wondering if he has some secret Supwr Powers, or?
He continues to play golf with the POTUS.
The other month the golf foursome included POTUS and Graham and President Alexander Stubb of Finland.
Finland a Russia hating nation intent on starting a blockade of Russian shipping in the Baltic Sea.
The Swedes and the Baltic nations Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania all riled up not to mention Denmark etc.
This little sniveling MOFO has just stabbed Trump in the back...AGAIN.
There will be no negotiations on anyones terms other than Russias.
To even hold ground against Russian avances now it will require full on intervention by outside troops.
Reported today that one unit of foriegn mercenaries have decided to get out of Ukraine...withdraw, quit.
Its fracturing along the front. Ukraines press gangs are now reportedly targets within Ukraine. They havent the personnel to continue.
Lindsey?! Really?
$How does he plan to do that?”
Russia is going broke. Supported by Iran!
Sad. ...
Dear Lindsay. You got your war and everything you wanted in Ukraine. Your Senate confirmed generals directed the war and requisitioned all the munitions and equipment. You oversaw the Ukrainian state military buildup. On your Senate watch you allowed the US lose their sole status as Super Power.
Let Trump do his damn job. Trump has briefed you on a variety of topics relevant to Ukraine and Russia, such as the fact that we are now a Great Power with a sphere of infulence, as are China and Russia.

Lindsay, follow the links and then delv into Telegram and other links to see more than just the continuously running headlines.
They blockaid Russian shipping and the Chinese will send ships into that region.
Then what will they do? Stop Chinese ships from entering Russian ports?
Or stop Chinese shipping?
They need to understand. Russias submarine fleet isnt a joke. The rest of their navy is, but their sub fleet is dangerous to mess with.
Linda grinds a lot
At the present pace, they will take Kiev in 2191.
If the don’t go broke first.
Talk is not cheap.
Lindsay has been bought and paid for.
And the military industrial complex has big pockets.
How about NO!
Thankfully I won’t be around in 2191 to see the conclusion but all of our kids and their kids will still be paying for it. Thanks linda.
Russian lost 8.6 million soldiers and 17.4 million civilians in WWII. Russia knows what sacrifice means to meet an objective, to win a war - probably more than any other nation. Knowing their history and mindset, can U.S. tariffs or tariff threats move Putin to the peace table? It’s getting real!
Linda needs to worry more about the Mexican invasion of the USA.
