Graham couldn't give a hoot how much this would harm this country.
Proposing this is yet another reason why Graham needs to be forced to find other work when his term is up.
I’m usually agin whatever Senator Lindsey Graham’s fer.
I can’t imagine that this bill has any chance of gaining Trump’s signature
I will leave it up to Trump to decide which is appropriate.
The ‘global policeman’ don’t want to enforce peace; they want to defeat Russia economically because NATO failed to defeat Russia militarily.
They know Zelensky will only accept victors spoils and reparations from Russia and given he will refuse all others, Putin must then concede even while winning militarily, in order to maintain trade with other nations. If that tactic works once (this time) then it will be deployed ‘as needed’ as NATO resumes it’s quest to force regime change in Russia to install a NATO puppet instead. That would give the UN, WEF, NATO, Globalist elites a nuclear arsenal.
Foreign policy ain’t your thing Rand. I’d hate to see what the world would look like at the end of a Rand Paul presidency. Leave this to the adults, Rand.
“ I’m usually agin whatever Senator Lindsey Graham’s fer.”
Paul’s in that boat too
Rand is a moron.
Trump’s tariff policy just secured big deals and over $10 trillion in new investments.
If you work in HVAC, carpentry, roofing, etc. jobs are going to be plentiful.
No one wants to make Moscow a permanent enemy. If Russia would just go home we can become friends again. However it should be noticed by its own geopolitical doctrine, Russia sees itself as a permanent enemy with the maritime powers, i.e., the US and Britain.
The Senate bill already has enough sponsors to make it veto proof.
Like his dad, Paul means well stands for a lot of right things, but he’s one-off on certain things including international relations, the free market, and (limited) tariffs.
He espouses the Constitution more than most in Congress, but seems to leave constitutional basis for or against federal action in certain areas.
Lots of “Veto proof” bills die when a bunch of supporting votes change after a veto. Sometimes they change even before a veto, even for sponsors.
I predict this won’t pass
Trump has already made his decision on putting more tariffs on Russian goods.
So then Russia's 5,000 nukes would no longer be pointed at America's heartland?
I'm inconsolable!
Seriously, folks! ransomnote would rather that Putin continue pointing nukes at America!
ransomnote has finally delivered incontrovertible proof that he is an enemy of America!
Regards,
Have you considered the possibility that Trump asked the Senate to hold off for a while (since April 26 when Sen. Graham first mentioned bringing secondary sanctions), and now he has given them the go ahead?
Russia could pay its arms workers and troops in Ukraine in gold for many years.
The US has 6% of the world’s population.
It can be bypassed, and will be, unless it plays nicely.
Lindsey Graham’s handlers are determined to push this proxy war off the cliff into World War.
