Why would anyone want to be associated with a party that claims that killing an ethnic group is "the best money they've ever spent"?
If the conservative party wants to win the cultural war against the radical left, and convince Americans that it has always been the party of liberty, then it must adopt the principles of the "old right" and stop voting for war-mongering politicians like Lindsey Graham.

When Crimea voted to rejoin Russia, we were all inundated with articles that told us it was a "sham election" and that this was the start of a European conquest, despite the fact that 95% of Crimean citizens are ethnic Russians. Indeed, if you travel to Crimea this summer, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who supports, or knows anyone who supported, the 1992 Crimean constitution.
Lastly, we spent billions of dollars overthrowing the Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych, presumably because our establishment overlords were unhappy with his cozy relationship with Russia. Not only is that anti-democratic, but that type of realpolitik further weakens us politically and economically. It was also the primary catalyst for the secession of Donbas and the subsequent civil war. Such actions are the equivalent of Russia spending billions to overthrow Trump or Biden. Considering the above, is anyone surprised Donbas seceded?
In other words, our establishment not only supports a sweatpants-wearing, steroid-using apparatchik in Kiev, who openly supports the neo-Nazi Azov battalion, and who refuses to abide by the MINSK agreement, but also has a contradictory view of self-determination. On the one hand, they claim to support Bosnia's unilateral secession from Serbia, but on the other hand, they refuse to support Donbas's unilateral secession from Ukraine.

Lindsey Graham needs to be removed. There, fixed it.
After winning the Cold War with Russia, we failed to follow-up with engagement and peace. Too many Russia-haters linger on the desire still today to kill Russians as it is what they grew up with, what they were indoctrinated with. Imagine how different things would be if we had engaged Russia? I still think they should be a natural ally, definitely better choice than Saudi Arabia.
“95% of Crimean citizens are ethnic Russians”
Who is this author/idiot? The real number is 58.5% are Russians. With many arriving after Putin seized Crimea in 2014.
“Russians constitute the majority in Crimea (71.7% in Sevastopol and 58.5% in the Autonomous republic of Crimea)”
Quotes:
In a televised address announcing the invasion in February last year, Putin represented the ‘so-called collective West’ as a neo-colonial, existential threat:
‘They sought to destroy our traditional values and force on us their false values that would erode us, our people from within, the attitudes they have been aggressively imposing on their countries, attitudes that are directly leading to degradation and degeneration.’

This article is Putin ass-kissing BS, Kazan must have written it.
People vote for Lindsay Graham because of his ability to deliver pork back to South Carolina. They want their turn at taxpayer funds trough!
Delivering pork back to the boys & girls at home is what Congressman\women do! The 17th Amendment basically turns senators into glorified congresscritters at large. It also Introduces the political rancor of the House (Which has always been there!) into the Senate. This is one of the many reasons why the 17th Amendment must be repealed. The state legislatures should be picking the senators. You might not even need term limits since every state legislator & state grandee would see themselves in that chair. Your legislature made up of Boobus Americanus? Time to organize and vote them out! I know it’s easier to sit and complain.
Repeal the 17th Amendment!
Excellent article, and the answer is, no sane person would want to be associated with these nutters. He looked like a drooling psycho when he was with The Zelenskyy
From Wikipedia:
The Crimean Tatars emerged as a Turkic-speaking ethnic group native to Crimea in the early modern period, during the lifetime of the Crimean Khanate, and by the annexation of the Crimean Khanate by the Russian Empire in 1783, they formed the clear majority of Crimean population. The colonization “New Russia” (the Novorossiysk Governorate, of which the later Taurida Governorate formed a part) at the end of the 18th century was led by Prince Grigori Potemkin who was granted the powers of an absolute ruler over the area by Catherine the Great. The lands were generously given to the Russian dvoryanstvo (nobility), and the enserfed peasantry mostly from Ukraine and fewer from Russia were transferred to cultivate what was a sparsely populated steppe.

“we spent billions of dollars overthrowing the Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych”
millions?
Some of that is his neocon, some of that is Lindsey Graham's homosexuality leaking out.
Face it, Lindsey gets a real boner around Zelenskyy.
Lindsey Graham’s support for Nazi Ukrainians killing Russians gives the left ammunition to accuse Republicans of being Nazis.
Russia’s the one thats got a grip on Pansie Graham....
There are over 120 ethnic groups in Russia.
Russian is a nationality.
Just reelected and outlived his usefulness. Safe until ‘26. Roe overturned (nationally) and he wants to take it back nationally by banning abortions after 6-15 weeks. Who knows? All his big mouth did was lose a few winnable house seats.
That smile on his face when he talked about killing Russians is ghoulish. What kind of person talks like that? With a smile?
