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 dont 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] Merkels 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. Russias 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 its time for the hourlong phone conversations between the two leaders to end.

Conversely... “I pray we lose Graham.”
Then Limp-wristed Lindsey should help impeach Obama and Biden and then resign.
It's in the drawer with the receipt for the land we bought from Mexico.
If not, it should be on the govt.'s credit card statement....
See Post #46.............
FR is the greatest website on the planet.
Of course Putin wouldn’t hesitate to start drilling in ANWAR ASAP....
If ANYONE could lose Alaska to the Russians... Obama certainly could...
Heck, Putin could lose the state of Nebraska to Liechtenstein...
The way things are going, being a colony of Liechtenstein is looking pretty good....at least they have low taxes.
Keep Alaska.
Give Putin California, Illinois, and NYS.
He did something wrong: projecting weakness.
Uh... yeah. As someone who lives about 80 miles from the shore of the Bering Sea, I hate to inform the Russians that any occupation would be house-to-house combat. And everyone, and I mean everyone, knows how to shoot a rifle, and some of us are really good shots (which is why many of my students move on to careers as Army Rangers or Marines). And the antimissile batteries are at Ft. Greeley. And there are a bunch of Air Force and Army bases around the state. So good luck to the Russians.
He didn’t project weakness, he highlighted Obama’s weakness, which I’m pretty sure Putin has already noticed.
Don’t give dear leader any ideas.
He'd piss in his pants, curl into the fetal position and start sucking his thumb...not a real strong response..
Drama Queen.
The Russians have said, on the record, that they want it back. That was years ago, but they've never, to my knowledge, taken back that statement.
Now someone will prove me wrong, and I'll be relieved at least.
Isn’t the State Flag of California based on Russian flag design elements? White field. Bar at the bottom. Star in the corner?
