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.

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.”

Does Lindsey hit from the red tees?!
Um…. That would be an act of war would it not?!
You realize Lindsey and Marco Rubio were in Turkey the other week I saw a pic of them together.
Did they hit a Turkish Bath?
I see him running across Red Square!
I read material from the Baltics last Friday Estonia tried to take a merchant vessel serving Russia two Russian warplanes buzzed to stop it.
But that was a war of survival, a war to avoid annihilation. This is a war of choice and what does your average Ivan care about Ukraine?!
Lindsey can sashay his way to the front line to prove that he is tough.
I hear he likes to play cornhole.
Is this like when they used to joke Rambo won the Vietnam war all by himself?
graham has no authority to do that
Is his new name ‘Lindsey Grahmbo’?
Finally, picking up a rifle, are you Lindsey?
So does this mean Linda and the other senators are going to be doing frontline combat in Ukraine? No, they want your sons and daughters to do it.
If that one man Group W bench wants to go to war, then give him a rifle, a couple magazines of ammo and a parachute. Call back after your Red Square victory parade, Linda.
It sounds stupid on a third year. Especially once China is finally firmly in Russia’s camp.
Trump should campaign against this warmonger skank..
would be nice to primary this globalist loser.
