To the hand-wringing Europeans who felt offended by President Trump rejecting being lectured by President Zelensky: Be my guest to defend Ukraine from Putin.
X ^ | 3/1/25 | Lindsey Graham

It is long past time for the Europeans to show they are capable of defending their own continent.

They’ve allowed their militaries to be hollowed out and when Europe speaks, no bad guy listens.

I say this with great sadness: The last group of people that I would count on to defend freedom are the Europeans.

That back stabbing little bi+ch! This is one of the war pigs responsible for this whole debacle. This MIC stooge was using every ghoulish trick in his book to extort the Ukrainians into feeding their 18 year old boys into his meat grinder just last week!

This corrupt POS war criminal will now try to leach onto Trump and peace to save his miserable a$$ next primary.

The sad truth is no treaty can force someone to help an ally that doesn’t wish to help.

NATO was and is useless.

Europe is a paper tiger and needs to find itself again after getting lost in the socialist dream.

My fear is that ultimately you will see the Turks take the lead, if the US pulls away. Next thing you know, it’s Ottoman Empire 2.0.

Lindsay is a disingenuous POS.
How much $ does he get from the weapons industry?
He really IS a War Pig...I am sure Trump knows.
Lindsay would whore out his mom to be on the Sunday morning shows.

Not to be trusted.

NFN but Mark Levin for the past week or so has been verbally pounding away in the opposite direction. Defending the existence of NATO and its utility for us, U.S.

He’s got some nasty cold or something. Hope he perks back up.

It’s not clear though that Trump needs Levin’s prodding on NATO. Or that Levin is even correct on NATO. But in the wake of the passing of Limbaugh, a huge loss, we need a healthy, actively opining, Levin.

Lindsey knows they have the receipts from his involvement with Zelensky, that’s why he’s gone full “Senator Geary” all of a sudden.

The unintended hilarity is, Ukraine could conquer Europe! Perhaps it should. Putin would “pay a dollar” to see that!

And Erdogan has one thing the Russians could never dream of having, millions of Muslims who will support him if he makes his move on Europe. Starting with Germany.

The UK Army currently doesn’t quite have as much front line operational equipment as a single brigade of the British Army of the Rhine in the late Cold War, they are that hollowed out. Yet here we had Starmer talking about Euro/NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine.

Check this out from Tucker Carlson.

“One of the most striking things about yesterday’s Zelensky press conference was Lindsey Graham’s reaction to it. The two are old friends, but Graham disavowed him within the hour. This was more than just transactional disloyalty. It was scapegoating. Lindsey Graham knows what’s coming. Over the past three years, with the tacit support of its western patrons, the Ukrainian government has committed a remarkable number of serious crimes. The Ukrainians sold huge quantities of American weapons on the international black market at twenty cents on the dollar. These weapons are now in the hands of armed groups around the world, including Hamas, the Mexican drug cartels and the forces now controlling Syria. God knows what the Ukrainians have done with the pathogens in American biolabs in their country. Even US intel agencies aren’t sure. The Ukrainians have also murdered a number of people in various countries in political assassinations, and tried to murder others, including American journalists and a European head of state. This is all true, and it’s all going to come out at some point. Better to start blaming it on Zelensky now.”

U.S. Senator: Ukrainians ‘sitting on $1trn worth of minerals that could be good to our economy

His end goal was known. Get the minerals.
Aside - Friends with benefits...or USAID help? /sarcasm

And now this.

He's one of the people that caused this war, he's part of that original cabal of war mongers.

Graham was one of the key leaders in pushing for NATO East expansion.

NATO is our club and he personally was one of the key figures in all of this.

--Now he wants others to pay for it?

--Now this becomes a European problem?

Interesting how he twists this into being a European problem. He's a snake.

Has someone else taken possession of Grahamnesty’s body? Can this really be the same interventionist, permanent-war, owned by the military-industrial complex senator representing, not South Carolina, but the defense lobby?

Here in the USA, the commonly accepted, MSM-promoted narrative is that Russia is an enemy, and China is also a looming enemy.

Trump is operating under a very different conception

Russia is not necessarily an enemy.

China may become an enemy if we continue to surrender our economic interests to them.

European globalists/socialists ARE a clear ideological and political enemy, and they are very active and operating in the USA and Canada through Democrats, liberals and many government institutions.

WHAT???

Oh, hell no! Now I don't think Trump should have kicked Zelenskyy out of the White House; I think he should have had Zelenskyy arrested!
