The war-hawks are circling and the biggest buzzard, Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, continues to squawk in favor of carnage.
Sen. Graham recently called for Russian President Vladimir Putin to be detained and assassinated, blasted Joe Biden for not sending fighter jets into Poland because he feared it would only escalate tensions in the region, potentially into a world nuclear war.
Senator Graham said during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, that if Russia used chemical weapons against Ukraine, then he would support a no-fly zone over Ukraine. Graham said that the Biden administration were “folding up like a cheap suit,” by not sending Polish owned fighter jets into Ukraine.
“The Biden administration stopped that transfer. One minute they’re saying, ‘well they’re not using the planes we have but if we give them more it would be WWIII’,” Graham said. “What happened is Putin threatened Biden, and he folded like a cheap suit. Give them the planes.”
Graham also said US Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech in Poland, regarding Washington’s diplomatic stance with NATO’s eastern allies was “not an adequate substitute of MiGs going into the Ukraine to help the Ukrainians defend themselves.”
“I’m all in. I don’t want no boots on the ground, no-fly zone yet,” he stressed, before adding, however, that “if there are chemical weapons used by Putin, that’s a war crime, and then I support a no-fly zone.” Graham said.
The Kremlin has already warned that such a move would be seen as an act of war, but despite this warning, Graham still thinks it’s a good idea and dismissed fears that a move like this would trigger World War Three.
Graham called the threat Putin made about using Russia’s nuclear capabilities a “bluff”, adding that Putin should be taken out however possible, and that includes assassination.
”It’s not going to be WWIII. This is all a bluff. Putin knows that no one wins a nuclear exchange,” he said. “If he ordered a preemptive strike on the United States, some general would shoot him in the head.”
President Vladimir Putin has warned that any attempts to enforce a no-fly zone by any planes or military assets, would be treated immediately as a target.
Graham doubled down on his comments when people called his comments inflammatory as the US Department of Defense has already stated that they had seen no indication that Russia was planning to attack using chemical or biological weapons.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, had claimed earlier that Russia could be considering a chemical attack.
US Defense Department spokesperson John Kirby told an ABC broadcaster:
“Well, I want to be careful. We don’t get into intelligence assessments here. We continue to watch this very, very closely. It is of the Russian playbook … they accuse you of [what] they’re planning to do now. Again, we haven’t seen anything to indicate some sort of imminent chemical, chemical biological attack right now, but we’re watching this very, very closely,”
What Graham needs to do, is turn down the heat on his rhetoric, and stop being a neocon pawn for the war-mongering deep state.
Lindsey Graham is a RINO sell out POS that needs taken behind the woodshed and a good old fashion asskicking applied to him . He sold out gun owners and the American people . Lindsey Graham is a complete scumbag . Along with the rest of the RINO sell outs. Time to drain the Swamp and Lindsey is a swamp creature
Based on Mr. Graham’s attitudes and actions, and the attitudes of some other elected officials, perhaps it is high time We the People invoke the de-facto term limits and remove all the incumbents from office and replace them with new blood. Perhaps we could get a Congress that actually cares more about the People than those who have been warming the seats for years care.
It’s funny sad really he needs to step down let a true republican that can stand up have backbone for the American people and America and the media hey the got want they wanted Mr President Trump out and this Jackal in as far as Graham he was all part of it as people eyes on Russia Russia which was all planned Mr BIBIBDEN wanted Graham and Mitt why not gets eyes off of Nancy p people need to really wake up news media got money in their pockets they aren’t telling the American people truth and what’s behind the scenes as far as hey 34000.00 illegals are getting borders are still down wake up what’s going on in
Lindsey, your an idiot, another rino lap elephant that almost jumped off the asses laps! But hey, dangle a sealed-bit reelection in front and presto- a piss-ant cuddles with the dumbo asses! Again. I am almost as sick of such cretins like this as i am of the gloablist, marxist, and islamist, with all their international crime cartel buddies! NATO, the EU, the UN, are all has-been entities, bought and paid for by the elite crooked tyrants, tycoons, and terrorist! Neither Russia or Ukraine is innocent, and our own frauds and thieves in chief’s help bring all this sad, and deadly charade to pass; they used hook, crook, and woke to put two usurper’s in the white house, another couple of globalist to start the war hawks rolling, and used the pride of a trump, who for that shut down the world and allowed all their grandiosity to take center stage! For power and wealth none of these criminal thugs care how many people they murder or how many nations they destroy: ” we have to talk about it to build back better- it’s just sick man, sick,” They are all idiots!
In response to Rat Wrangler’s comment, we truly do need some ‘young/new blood’ on Congress. This, however cannot guarantee any change for the better as many possible candidates have been reared with varying concepts of what America represents. As for ‘de facto’ term limits, the original duration of a term may have been enumerated in the Constitution, but the ability to seek re-election after said term was never addressed nor forbidden. And who, if given the option, would ever vote to have their employment terminated? Perhaps a law requiring a set age for retirement would prove to be a means for removing aging, self-serving politicians from office. But that would also affect every other American as well. And Congress, being what it is, would create a work-around that would exempt government employees from any such mandatory retirement age.
And since we all seek, love and hope for job security, it is high;y unlikely that career politicians would vote to end their own sources of income.
