Ditching Ukraine would 'be worse than Afghanistan,' Republican senator says (Guess who)
Kyiv dependent ^

The U.S. cannot cut off aid to Ukraine while it fights against Russia, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said on March 9.

The U.S. froze intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine soon after a heated argument broke out between President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Feb. 28. U.S. officials have suggested the pause is "temporary," without indicating when aid will resume.

"If we pull the plug on Ukraine, it'd be worse than Afghanistan. I don't think (Trump) has any desire to do that," Graham said in a television interview on March 9.

Until a ceasefire is reached, the U.S. must continue to assist Ukraine with military aid and intelligence sharing, the U.S. Senator continued.

If it goes bad we may be talking 10-15 million refugees.

Make Germany and Europe buy our oil. Then Russia won’t have the money to fight on.

Poor analogy. We indeed “ditched” Afghanistan. So aside from Graham channeling McCain, he's got nothing but “public appearances” to flatter himself.

We'd need to 1) have troops on the ground for 19 years, and 2) waste billions in nation building, and 3) leave a nation with the same "leadership" as it had before we spent those 19 years....

Idiotic analogy.

“If we pull the plug on Ukraine, it'd be worse than Afghanistan.”

Not even close!
There are no US troops in Ukraine.

The EU and Z. chose to fight on. They clearly rejected Trump’s attempt at a peace deal. The only one ditched was America. So talk to The EU and Z., republican Senator.

I didn’t peek, and I guessed right.

After all, Graham said that we probably could never do business again, right?

The usual Rat/RINO war hawks who love never ending wars that suck up and burn up our money like there’s a never ending supply. It’s unbelievable isn’t it, Trump is trying to end the damn thing and all he gets is sh*t.

Send Graham to the front lines if he feels so strongly.

“””I knew it could only be Linda”””

Linda is sad. Ukraine is where she, McCain, Biden and the others in the good old boys club laundered money for many years. Now she is the only one left and when the corruption is exposed.....no more Linda.
