Linda was one of the loudest voices for bringing Ukraine into NATO, which precipitated this whole conflict.
Another neo-con boondoggle.
Sanctions are doing a very good job of making Russia and China more self-sufficient. Sanctioning China will only accelerate this trend.
Lady Graham is determined to keep this battle going. He needs to be Doged.
Nothing but old, tired policies.
Imagine the Senate and Linda Graham running US foreign policy vs Russia
Meanwhile Europe has been violating them all along.
But Congress won’t say a peep about that.
Why not...?
You go girl!
Has sanctions ever worked?
Seriously, the success rate of sanctions must be pretty low. And even if they were successful, they only hurt the average citizen not the upper class.
Butt-buddies Graham and Blumenthal visiting the Ukraine moocher. Maybe Zelensky can play the piano for them while they are there, but using their weiners instead of his own.
Europe has been violating the sanctions and importing Russian energy all along.
I’m tired of this little worm.
President Trump might not be happy with this.
Seeing as the European countries of Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Poland, Italy and Hungary still rely on Russia for energy products, it's highly unlikely.
So. . . a Trump reply could be . . .
“If I impose a 500% tariff on all products imported from any country buying Russian oil, and they stop buying Russian oil, then those countries cannot fuel their trucks to haul food to their grocery stores because there is no oil for them from any other source but Russia. This would be US-created starvation of entirely innocent people.
We would call it the Graham Famine.”
Pushing sanctions that will cripple our economy over a war that has nothing to do with our national security needs to be the act that ends Graham’s career.
BTW, there is another aspect to this. Tulsi’s briefings must have made some things clear as to the military situation. Graham faces some problems with facts on the ground.
There may not be time for sanctions to do anything.
Yea. Saw that coming, they are going to make it really hurt for Russia and China. They saw China almost internally meltdown with just US sanctions, they know that it will destabilize them. They will have to get out of the game of supplying Russia. Unfortunately, Russia will not get over these sanctions, maybe not for years.
Linda will probably be on Meet the Depressed and Deface the Nation Sunday to explain his latest saber-rattling initiative.
Krispy Kreme will be there to applaud.
