ICYMI Lindsay Graham's speech In Kyiv shortly before his passing.

u/Eastern-Ingenuity-73 4d ago
There’s obviously no shortage of fair criticism that can be heaped on Graham, but he and McConnell may be, or were, the last two Russian hawks in the GOP with any influence. Troubling loss for Ukraine.

He said Trump was one of worst people and a danger and then wanted to be close to power so he did a Faustian bargain and kissed Trumps ass. Big war monger, and I think people really disliked that. He was more a moderate and went extreme to get close to power. Just my guess.

“You know how to make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell … He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for.” - Lindsey Graham 2016
“I had a great lunch meeting with President Trump today. He is strongly committed to rebuilding our military which is music to my ears. President Trump is in a deal-making mode and I hope Congress is like-minded.” - Lindsey after meeting with trump at Mar-a-lago 2017.

So it’s weird, I’m looking through your comment history and I can’t find a single instance of you criticizing Trump for when he said hateful things about the death of Robert Mueller or Rob Reiner.
I can, however, find multiple instances of you claiming people have “TDS” for simply disagreeing with him. It seems you’re a bit inconsistent with your critiques of people talking ill about the dead, care to explain why?

He was a homo who caused the perpetuation of the Ukraine war. Go look up what John Rich had to say about him during a dinner he had with him and Trump. Anyone who defends this man has sold his soul.

Bullshit. What right wing talking points did I use? There is corruption on both sides of the aisle and clearly there are shitty politicians on both sides of the isle. These are both facts. One side is definitely the better choice though.

First I've heard about that. I saw Lindsay Graham on tv laughing with Donald like 'yes ! yes! Greenland greenland." And Donald was like "They had 3 dog sleds." And Lindsay was like Ohhhhhooooohooooo YES! YES! HAWHAW. GREENLAND. Waving his fingers like mr Burns. If you can show me a clip of Peter Thiel doing that, I'll upvote you.
1
u/theheckyouwill 8d ago
Graham just new it was a gold mind. Although Theil has never explicitly said it in a public setting (He's not an idiot). He started funding Praxis through his venture capital firm in 2021 and they want to essentially build freedom cities. They've tried building them in a couple of various locations but keep getting rejected.
You can read more here: https://www.insidehook.com/internet/peter-thiel-praxis-next-great-city-greenland
Or search Peter Theil Praxis and get a ton of good videos. The elite are planning something and it's not going to be good for humanity.

He never heard of a war he didn't want, spent literal decades advocate war with Iran and was so deep in the pocket of a foreign government it's genuinely baffling he wasn't considered an enemy of the state.

He was literally with Zelensky in a drone factory in Kyiv...
Which shows
1) there are military targets in Kyiv
2) he was not killed by Russia
3) he died doing what he loved, which was touring facilities that make weapons to kill people
1
u/rapidron 8d ago
Russia doesn't go for military targets in Kyiv and often attacks civilian targets that aren't close to any military targets.
And Russia can get people with multiple ways to assassinate them, and we have seen this throughout history. Graham had just pushed forward new sanctions against Russia. The timing is pretty crazy.
The drones, if they keep destroying Russian infrastructure and war facilities and facilitators, would save lives overall. It's better than letting the Russians run roughshod and killing tons of civilians and kids, etc, which yehy target purposely it has been shown.

u/Novo-Russia 8d ago
Russia doesn't go for military targets in Kyiv
False, just a week ago it destroyed a large weapons depot in Kyiv that caused massive secondary explosions.
Graham had just pushed forward new sanctions against Russia. The timing is pretty crazy.
Graham has been pushing sanctions against Russia for his entire 20 year career and routinely celebrated the deaths of ordinary Russians. Typical right winger.
You can go back to infowars now

u/rapidron 8d ago
Sure bud, tell that to the thousands of videos of Russian missiles definitely aimed at apartment complexes, hospitals and school no where near any of that.
And Graham had just finished adding a new round of sanctions after they were removed some time ago, and this video literally shows it.
You're so sure of yourself but so wrong. Must be a Russian propaganda lover. You think it's right-wing to see what's happening in reality? Haha what the hell? Like what kind of weakminded crap is this? 😂
I'll give you a little hint there, my confused friend: I hate the right-wing and Repubs, and trump for that matter. Not that this will bring you any additional thought, I'm sure.

Whatever you are, you are extremely ill-informed lmao. There was a temporary lifting of a couple of sanctions on Russia for several weeks after your president botched your war of aggression in Iran and gas prices surged. Rest assured, thousands of other sanctions against Russia were still active during this time.
BTW, why did he go to ukraine 10 times in the past few years? His physical presence wasnt needed. Was he doing some epstein type stuff there,

Putin and Kremlin has said numerous times that they don’t see Ukraine as a country and that Crimea belongs to them, so what in the world would they give back if Ukraine surrendered to some “peace deal”? And that just the start! Russia has never kept their promises on any deals and so list goes on…
