One of President Trump’s core objectives heading into negotiations with Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin will be to prevent a third invasion of Ukraine, according to Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“I am here to tell you that President Trump will end this war in a way to prevent a third invasion and not to entice China to take Taiwan,” Graham (R-SC), who went golfing with Trump on Saturday, told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“We’re not out to humiliate Putin, we’re out to get a deal to make sure there’s no third invasion.”

“Militarily, we need to keep Ukraine strong, keep flowing them strong and modern weapons, and security guarantees with European forces on the ground as trip wires to prevent a third invasion,” he said.
“We want to end this with the sovereign, independent, self-governing Ukraine, and a situation where Putin cannot do this the third time without being crushed. This is really a dress rehearsal for Taiwan.”

Graham also floated the division of Berlin as a model to settle the conflict between Russia over time.
“Think about East Berlin and West Berlin as the way a conflict can be settled, at least for a period of time. North Korea and South Korea [are] in a state of truce. There’s never been a final settlement,” he said.
“I want to be honest with you. Ukraine’s not going to evict every Russian, and Russia’s not going to keep [everything]. So there will be some land swaps at the end,” he added. “The goal for me, and I think President Trump, is to end it [the war] forever.”

And that mighty Z is more a dictator than Putin will ever live to be ...
The Zelinsky part of the process is to resign and give back the US taxpayer dollars he grifted.
Zelensky is an illegitimate leader. Call for elections.
President Trump,
Just walk away.
There is no reason to be any part of this.
Let the Europeans carry 100% if the load on this.
It’s their war, the USA needs to bow out of it completely.
What is your favorite war pig babbling about, Marcus?
““Militarily, we need to keep Ukraine strong, keep flowing them strong and modern weapons, and security guarantees with European forces on the ground as trip wires to prevent a third invasion,” he said.”
That’s just not going to happen and he most certainly didn’t have that conversation with POTUS.
Graham knows there is zero chance of that happening.
Lindsey should run for president if he thinks he can do a better job. Otherwise shut your pie hole.
Lindsay is a homo. Needs a primary opponent.
Putin is an illegitimate leader. Call for honest elections.
He did run for President in 2015. Was polling 1% in his Homestate of SC.
Dropped out right before Trump humiliated him in the SC GOP Primary.
There’s a simple way to end the war...
All the ukraine bros that support the grifter zelensky and spam forums across the country, just need to go to ukraine and join their military to fight against russia...
From the amount of spam about how well ukraine is doing against russia, and the support they have against russia, it shouldn’t take too many of additional volunteers to help zelensky retain power, right?
Lindseed Graham.
You mean the SOB that handed McCain the Fake Russian documents and told McCain to hand them over to the FBI back during the beginning of Trumps first term?
That Lindseed Graham?
The Lindseed Graham that got up and back stabbed Trump at the end of his first term?
That Lindseed Graham?
The Lindseed Graham that drooled and acted all giddy after he voted to confirm Joe Biden as POTUS?
That Lindseed Graham?
“prevent a third invasion of Ukraine”
Sen. Lindsey Graham
Putin has learned a painful lesson, but there will be other Russian leaders in the future.
WIKI [First Invasion]
The Soviet invasion of Ukraine was a major offensive by the Ukrainian Front of the Red Army against the Ukrainian People’s Republic (UPR) during the Soviet–Ukrainian War. The invasion was first planned in November 1918, after the Council of People’s Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic annulled the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, and was launched in the first days of January 1919, with the occupation of Kharkiv. Its aim was to join Ukraine to the RSFSR, as the country was of significant economic, demographic and strategic importance for the Bolsheviks. In the longer term, the capture of the Black Sea coast was to prevent an intervention by the Allies in support of the Volunteer Army.

[Leon Trotsky 1939]
“It is indisputable that in the first period of its existence Soviet Ukraine exerted a mighty attractive force, in national respects as well, and aroused to struggle the workers, peasants, and revolutionary intelligentsia of Western Ukraine enslaved by Poland. But during the years of Thermidorian reaction, the position of Soviet Ukraine and together with it the posing of the Ukrainian question as a whole changed sharply. The more profound the hopes aroused, the keener was the disillusionment. The bureaucracy strangled and plundered the people within Great Russia, too. But in the Ukraine matters were further complicated by the massacre of national hopes. Nowhere did restrictions, purges, repressions and in general all forms of bureaucratic hooliganism assume such murderous sweep as they did in the Ukraine in the struggle against the powerful, deeply-rooted longings of the Ukrainian masses for greater freedom and independence. To the totalitarian bureaucracy, Soviet Ukraine became an administrative division of an economic unit and a military base of the USSR. To be sure, the Stalin bureaucracy erects statues to Shevchenko but only in order more thoroughly to crush the Ukrainian people under their weight and to force it to chant paeans in the language of Kobzar to the rapist clique in the Kremlin.”
“Not a trace remains of the former confidence and sympathy of the Western Ukrainian masses for the Kremlin. Since the latest murderous “purge” in the Ukraine no one in the West wants to become part of the Kremlin satrapy which continues to bear the name of Soviet Ukraine. The worker and peasant masses in the Western Ukraine, in Bukovina, in the Carpatho-Ukraine are in a state of confusion: Where to turn? What to demand? This situation naturally shifts the leadership to the most reactionary Ukrainian cliques who express their “nationalism” by seeking to sell the Ukrainian people to one imperialism or another in return for a promise of fictitious independence. Upon this tragic confusion Hitler bases his policy in the Ukrainian question.”
“But the independence of a United Ukraine would mean the separation of Soviet Ukraine from the USSR, the “friends” of the Kremlin will exclaim in chorus. What is so terrible about that? – we reply. The fervid worship of state boundaries is alien to us. We do not hold the position of a “united and indivisible” whole. After all, even the constitution of the USSR acknowledges the right of its component federated peoples to self-determination, that is, to separation. Thus, not even the incumbent Kremlin oligarchy dares to deny this principle. To be sure it remains only on paper. The slightest attempt to raise the question of an independent Ukraine openly would mean immediate execution on the charge of treason. But it is precisely this despicable equivocation, it is precisely this ruthless hounding of all free national thought that has led the toiling masses of the Ukraine, to an even greater degree than the masses of Great Russia, to look upon the rule of the Kremlin as monstrously oppressive.”

Zelensky (subject to Duma ratification) is the decider for Ukraine.
In 2027, Russian forces might take Odessa, but it’s still 2025, Ukrainians still have guns and drones and are quite able to kill invading Russian soldiers.
Genteel Southern Belle McCain wants to sabotage any talk of peace, no matter what he says publicly.
