Graham needs to propose cooperation on Ukraine in return for for closing the southern border.
“Graham needs to propose cooperation on Ukraine in return for for closing the southern border.”
Graham, as usual, was preforming an act of deal making. What he should be concerned with is what we are in it for. We have no wartime treaties with the Ukraine. We have some domestic ones, but not wartime. We have sent them weapons with trade, but we have no obligation to enter into combat for them. The only real reason we are in it with the Ukraine is that during the Obama administration (2014) the United States committed more than $5.4 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including security and non-security assistance. In addition, the United States provided three sovereign loan guarantees totaling $3 billion. In other words, they owe us money. And hey ought to be smart enough to know Biden won’t want it back unless it is through his son for protection (Burisma).

No matter what happens, if we send troops to the Ukraine and get them killed, we are, again, getting into a war, this one another country’s civil war, and none of it our own.
Graham is a fool for using this as a tool. No win scenario as the libs won’t do it and if they say they will, they will lie.
