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.

Lindsey Graham hopes ‘we don’t lose Alaska’
What he meant to say was: “By the impotence of Senator McCain and myself, it is time to accept that the US is now under a Communist Administration so losing Alaska to Russia would not be huge.”

No, it’s not funny. There are islands that have been in dispute with Russia over many years. Putin is too smart to consider invading mainland Alaska. But I wouldn’t put it past him to seize some of the islands.
And then what would Obama do? Or Kerry? Or Boner? Or Lindsey? More empty talk, if past is precedent for these guys.

a post said this was played at the Sochi 2014 closing ceremonies, is this true?
How true.
I hope we lose Lindsey Graham.
Why Linda Grhamnesty, are the illegal alien Mexicans going to take it away, too?
Nonsense, my good man! Lindsay and John ought to have their own TV Talk Show.
The Pansy and the Pilot?
The Swish and the Senile?
Could be bigger than Chris Matthews ... and at least their pants might be drier ... although in Johnnie's case that Depends."
Bingo.
Just a thought, but if Obama wanted to outdo Carter, who paid the Panamanians to take our canal, donating Alaska to Russia would be just the thing!
LOL!

Isn’t Kazakhstan right across the street from Alaska???
Anything is possible when you have a wimp for a president
If Putin is taking over Crimea because they are mostly Russians there, can we get Mexico to take back California (for the same reason)?
Knowing some Californians who happen to be FReepers, I’ll bet not a REGISTERED gun within 300 miles, but it doesn’t mean there are none.
Graham and McCain, both of them can shut it.
They talk and talk and talk and talk.
When it comes to brass tacks, they’re BOTH Obama bootlickers.
The scary thing is the Obozo would do absolutely nothing if Russia did invade Alaska.
