Ah, such a greedy little bastard with no respect for human life.

I can’t stand him and am baffled why South Carolina doesn’t rid themselves of this degenerate monster.

The good news is Russia has vast commodities and resources- they don’t need the Donbass riches.

Graham is talking out his ass. He’s a trained lawyer and a life-long politician - that’s all.

He’s never been involved in producing or selling anything, no connections to industry, nor with any private business. Everything he knows comes from position papers reaching his desk after being filtered through the deep-state - which is mush

Indeed, Ukraine’s “wealth” is the figment of the imagination of DC hacks, lobbyists and think-tanks

This is literally the argument the Vikings and Barbary pirates used when raiding the coastal cities of Ireland for slaves and plunder.

Grift and corruption are gold mines for politicians.

“Allowing a Russian victory in the conflict would deprive America of access to vast mineral resources, Lindsey Graham says”

Now we’re starting to get the REAL REASON we’re stuck with Zeepers.

Ukraine has been known as a major wheat growing region. I’ve never once heard about the mineral wealth in Ukraine.

Ukraine was the breadbasket of the Soviet Union.

Mexico is better than Canada. Then we can dump all the foreign trash there.

So Graham thinks we are gonna get all the goodies from Ukraine? Like all the pil and gas we get from Iraq and Kuwait?

He thinks we are prepaying our trillions of Ukrainian metals?
———-
We THOUGHT we could steal all of Iraq’s oil to…fact is Iraq now sells most of their oil to China.

Simple projection and history shows Vlad will keep his Russian provinces and Ukraine becomes another failed Project- senile Joe adds a failed Project Ukraine to the US’s long list of war cheerleaders failed ventures.

complete lunacy. and let’s just assume a best case scenario. Ukraine “wins”. Who is going to seriously invest in Ukrainian mining, what with a belligerent Russia still pissed off next door?

If this is the goal, honestly, we’d be far better off just telling Russia to go in and take over, and then we’ll work on “let’s make a deal”.

All those resources, and the Ukrainian population killed off, demographically, by the grinding war so desperate for new fodder the country is snatching men off the streets and sending them to the trenches. While up to 40% of their farmland has been sold to a handful of foreign investors.

At least Lindsay says the quiet part out loud: the USA could give a rat’s …about the Ukrainian people but their utility in killing Russians, and their so-called “ trillions” in resources…ah, now there’s a strategic gain

Imagine if “we” could break up Russia and do the same resource grab!

He seems to be getting senile. He is talking like the US still has the military of the 70s, 80s, or 90s.

But under Linda’s watch, we no longer have an industrial base that can even resupply the artillery shells Ukraine uses, the uniformed services cannot meet their recruiting goals, the top US fighter plane can’t fly in thunderstorms, and the Navy can’t get ships built.

Linda, you have gloried in your personal power while you frittered away the US ability to defend itself, much less any ability to rape other countries of their natural resources. Take a nap, please. One of the nice attendants will bring you a warm blanket.

Ukraine oil —

Reserves too little to list, and the listing cut off is 0.3 billion barrels. Which would be reported as 300 million barrels!!!! with the exclamation marks if it was a discovery. (300 million barrels is 0.02% of global reserves, and Ukraine didn’t even make that list, but all discoveries, no exceptions, all discoveries are hyped)

Ukraine natural gas —
Reserves 1.1 Trillion cubic meters. This is 0.6% of the global total of 188 trillion cubic meters. It is just 2.9% of Russia’s largest in the world total.

Ukraine Coal —
34 billion tonnes, 3.2% of global total. (Russia has 15% of the global total)

Ukraine Lithium and Cobalt
Did not make the list as significant reserves

Allowing a Russian victory in the conflict would deprive American Presidents, Senators and Congressmen of access to vast Kickbacks and Graft for stealing mineral resources, Lindsey Graham says

There, fixed it for the Faggot Traitor, Illegal Alien Smuggler, Linda Grahamnesty.

We’d be swimming in plenty. Oh wait, someone else wrote that in a book 100 years ago now.
