Graham warns US against turning back on Ukraine: If Putin wins ‘more conflict is coming’
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | March 14th, 2023 | Julia Shapero

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Tuesday warned the U.S. against turning its back on Ukraine, after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) suggested that Russia’s war in Ukraine should not be one of America’s “vital national interests.”

“If [Russian President Vladimir] Putin loses in Ukraine, then the world resets in all the right ways,” Graham tweeted. “If he wins in Ukraine and the west capitulates just like in the past, more conflict is coming.”

“When it comes to Putin, you either pay now or pay later,” Graham said, adding, “If you do not understand that success by Putin in Russia invites aggression by China against Taiwan, then you have seriously miscalculated one of the most obvious nexuses in the world.”

DeSantis, who is widely considered one of the top potential contenders for the Republican nomination in 2024, described the war in Ukraine as a “territorial dispute” in a questionnaire sent out to possible presidential candidates by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.

There’s more conflict coming no matter what Putin does or doesn’t do. That’s the nature and culture of Ukraine and it’s people which history attests to....including among themselves.

Graham is the biggest neocons in senate. Does he care how big national debt is? Does he know federal govt is operating with multi-Trillion budget deficits every year? Does his war mongering brain realize every dollar sent to Ukraine adds straight to national debt. I am sick of these crazy neocons who want to play world police while we are flat broke?

You are a nut.

It is not up to the United States to do anything.

If Russia wants to take over Europe, let Europe handle it.

All I hear from the left is Russia is fighting with shovels.

That is a long slog to London.

Truth........

The USA has a Maytag due for repair. The Maytag man is a faggot named Zelensky. I’m guessing that machine does not get fixed.

Graham is right, if Russia gets away with this,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Care to say who’s paying you to advocate using Ukraine as an excuse to provoke a war with Russia? You should be advocating instead that people reelect President Trump for the third consecutive time because he will get America out of what is none of its business.

Graham is right and wrong at the same time. If Russia wins (and it looks likely) and Zelensky is out and a new Government makes a treaty with Russia, the US will be seen as weak and this will embolden Other states to march—Russia will be licking her wounds for a while and will be unable to invade anyone for a decade or so, She will be too busy rebuilding her Nova Russia, Formerly East Ukraine, and building a relationship with The New Ukraine. No, danger will come from China, North Korea and places in South America and Africa. Iran will start to play hard ball after they set off a nuke or two.

Remember the good ol’ days when the left said Trump was going to get us into a war...and then he didn’t.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To any voter who’s been paying attention, that right there should be enough reason to elect President Trump for the third consecutive time.

Graham is full of it. The conflict started because NATO wanted to expand in Ukraine and have a border extremely close to Moscow.
Of course that’s going to make Russia a “wee” bit upset.

We’re making the same mistake we made in Vietnam and that one cost us 55,000 dead. We may not get off so easy this time.

If we can just get through the next election without the rodents successfully stealing it, I think any of the major Republican contenders who wins will put an immediate end to that madness! Pray that it will not be too late to avoid a worldwide nuclear holocaust!

everything is a rich man's trick....its all purposeful.....

we have no say about how they throw OUR money to their friends but we sure can encourage our children to Not join their military....

its hard to say that, because I have a lot of military vets in my family, but we can support the beast anymore.
