Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin “can’t tolerate” going “after his customers” ahead of an Alaska meeting between Putin and President Trump.
“Putin could give a damn about sanctions. He evades them. He could give a damn about how many Russians die. The one thing that he can’t tolerate and live with, if we go after his customers,” Graham told NBC News’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press.”
“The whole goal is to crush his customers, India, and China, and Brazil. That if you keep buying Putin’s oil and prop up his war machine, you will be denied access to our economy. This is a new strategy. Trump is all in, in terms of going after Putin’s customers if we can’t end this well. Without oil and gas revenue, Russia collapses,” the South Carolina senator added.
In his first few months back in office, Trump and his administration have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine with no luck.
Trump said last week he will meet with Putin in Alaska next Friday, hosting him for talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

Uhh, they are our customers, too.
Or Trump is trying to structure our trade relations with them
If we make them choose, we likely lose.
Graham is nuts.
McCainiac’s girl Linda.
“””Graham is nuts.”””
She wishes she had a pair.
“If we make them choose, we likely lose.”
The whole idea is just plain stupid.
And it harms Americans.
No matter how much you hate Linda, you don’t hate her enough.
He just doesn’t understand scarcity.
He sees talk of big oil production and that’s where his listening ends. If he instead then listened to talk about consumption, he would understand scarcity.
They must have oil and gas. There is nowhere else to get it. This is why Europe is still buying Russian oil and gas. There is nowhere else to get it, and They Must Have It.
Everyone Must.
Linseed has been a war cheerleader his entire career.
” Look at me. I’m still respected. The Fake News Sunday shows have always loved a preening McCainiac like me.”
By giving them discounts on Russian oil so they can resell it at profit?
Graham is inflicted with Russian Derangement Syndrome.
Sodomites are the worst of the worst. Their militancy drives them to beat on the door until the FAFO
“he can’t tolerate and live with, if we go after his customers”
You mean the Europeans via India?
Why does Hannity keep giving Linda a forum on his show?
Enough already!!!
Linseed is like M Sheen demanding the lauch codes feom DJT.
Movie: the deadzone.

It’s because they’re aligned.
Speaks volumes
Lindsey sure does love to kill them Russkies.
Hitler fought a war for five and a half years without billions in oil revenue.
If Russia gets no oil revenue, Russian girls won’t get woke dolls Made in China for Christmas and Russian women won’t get clothes and perfume from France.
The Russians have already bought the machine tools their industry needs.
The Russian arms factory worker:
1. pays his rent in rubles,
2. buys his potatoes, bread, meat, cheese, vegetables and fruit using rubles,
3. pays his electric, Internet and cellphone bills in rubles,
4. pays for his gasoline in rubles,
5. buys his clothes using rubles, etc.
Common Russian consumer items:
1. apartment
2. potatoes
3. bread
4. meat
5. root vegetables
6. electricity
7. running water
8. above ground vegetables
9. fruit
10. some heat
11. vodka
12. public transportation (trams, buses, trains)
13. cellphone & service
14. TV
15. PC
16. cars
Only the PCs, TVs and cellphones are mainly import sourced. Except for the cellphone batteries, these will generally run for years before needing to be replaced.
Some of the cars will no longer function if they break down and an imported repair part is no longer available.
Filling up the back of an SUV or awaiting Amazon deliveries is not part of typical Russian family life.
Russian civil servants don’t commonly make over $100,000/year.
