EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was "taking the Chinese position" on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine when the potential Republican 2024 contender called the war a "territorial dispute."
During an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday, the South Carolina lawmaker and military veteran was asked whether he was concerned about the current front-runners for the GOP presidential nomination — DeSantis, who is expected to announce a White House bid, and former President Donald Trump, who already has — both having a more skeptical position of the current level of U.S. aid to Ukraine than more establishment members of their party.
"Governor DeSantis, who I respect, is basically taking the Chinese position when it comes to Russia's invasion," Graham said.

The US went to war against Great Britain in 1859 over a territorial dispute in the San Juan Islands between Washington State and British Vancouver Island.
It is called the Pig War because the shooting of a stray pig ignited the war, and the poor pig was the war's only casualty.
That territorial dispute was arbitrated in 1871 by the German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm I, who set the boundary which exists today.
That is a territorial dispute.
Ukraine is a Russian empire-building invasion of land previously recognized by Russia as belonging to Ukraine.
Russian success in Ukraine will increase Russia's population and economy by roughly one-third.
That is not a "territorial dispute", it's Putin trying to reestablish the old Tsarist and Soviet empires.
Ron is correct. We should not be involved with Ukraine. We are not supporting a democracy. We are interjecting ourselves in something we have no business in. This war in only making the US MIC extremely rich, the US more dominate and thousands of people killed so companies here in the US can send in political contributions and get political favors. It’s like betting at cock fights (which is illegal I might say) but no different, just on a larger scale. Its all a giant money game.
Lindsey Graham? He suffers from the same form of dementia as Petey Bootygieg. At least Lindsey keeps it to himself and doesn’t brag about dressing like a girl to feed the baby.
By comparison the USA had twice that number in theatre during the Vietnam war, a third world civil war.
Graham and DeSantis were both military lawyers. That using actual “Military”. Buttigig and Hunter Biden had the same job.
Face it military lawyers are only kinda military.
I love Trump. I like and respect RdS very much. Where the heck were both of them a year ago? There were a few of us who were as adamant as Trump is today in March of ‘22. This has been a no brainer since day one.
EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Lindsey Graham, (Pussy-SC) . . .
They both wrong. It’s a war over who is going to control the Ukraine, and eventually other former Soviet Republics bordering Russia. Russia under Putin? Or the Biden/EU axis promoting communism, LGBT, and green agenda destruction all over the planet. If we have to choose rather than settle, Putin is the better choice.
It goes way deeper than that. They thought that they could fold Russia and take their resources. Same crap, different day. Russia is not Iraq, Syria or any of the others.
Linda loves war. Any war. The Blood letting turns her on.
“This “war” is a joke.”
Agreed.
Let’s all keep funding and keep fighting ... but not so much that grain shipments are affected.
This “war” in the Ukraine is not WWI, WWII or even Korea. In scale and scope Ukraine is Russia’s Vietnam.
linda is a twofaced puke plain and simple
Russia’s Afghanistan II, Electric Boogaloo.
Ron’s point is this is Europe’s War and if they don’t want to be under the thumb of Putin, until the day after he dies, they need to take out loans and fund Ukraine themselves.
Euro printer can go brrrrrr, too.
I’ll better you a $100 Trump endorses Linda if he runs for re-election.
I agree with DeSantis. We have no business funding this conflict.
The call of a RINO.
He may (occasionally) stand for something worthwhile, but that does not make him a worthwhile person.
Kinda like a pervert priest.
Correction .
Hunter is not a lawyer .
Its was the Beau Biden who was the lawyer .
Desantis served in the Military with Honors while Trump dodged the Draft .
Hunter Biden wasn’t a lawyer in the Navy and he doesn’t seem to have practiced at a law firm, but he did go to law school, sort of like Chris Cuomo.
We certainly didn’t treat Axis prisoners like that after WWII. In the U.K., some of them were sent to do work on farms in England instead. And of course, we didn’t execute Werner von Braun after he surrendered to us. We hired him to help us perfect our own rocket program.
