Graham: You know the richest country in all of Europe for rare earth minerals is Ukraine? Trump will do a deal to get our money back, to enrich ourselves with rare earth minerals, a good deal for Ukraine and us.

Ik - that’s BS. If Trump has his way, Putin will own Ukraine plus all the minerals there. Putin wouldn’t give USA any. I’m not even sure what he’s trying to say here. It just doesn’t make sense.
Trump will join forces with Putin and lover boy Kim to take Ukraine by force then expect them to keep going in Europe. They already have subs stationed around the world.. the uk world be first hit. I hope the magats are happy with what they have unleashed
When Lindsey says “enrich ourselves”, he means that narrowly: it will enrich himself, Trump, and Trump’s closest oligarch allies, sitting of the proper kleptocracy we’re becoming.
I'm old enough to remember when Bush was going to pay for the Iraq war with oil revenue too. Not only is this line of reasoning inherently inhumane, it doesn't even work. Not to mention that we've spent the equivalent of pocket change on Ukraine's defense so theres not even any upside here.
Ukraine was quick to stand with us on 9-11 and Graham repays them with wanting to carve them up for their resources in time for Thanksgiving. That's maga loyalty for you
Oh, wow! Then all the Ukrainian lives lost, all the infrastructure obliterated, not to mention the perils still looming over Europe because of Putin/Russia, is all worth it because it can be twisted to "enrich ourselves with rare earth minerals" . . . and nevermind we haven't lost a dime! 😡
Whatever is left of Ukraine at that point......should have told them to declare war after Crimea.....and what in the sam hell was an ex-US Army officer named Ed Gauler doing leading troops in the Don-Bass? Did he know Flynn at the Pentagon?
Crimea has vast offshore oil and gas resources in the Black Sea, estimated between 4-13 trillion cm of natural gas. According to geological surveys, the Crimea as part of the Kerch area has one of the largest oil and gas deposits in the Black Sea region.
Lindsey Graham is trash masquerading as a human being. He is a spineless coward. He has no honor and no morals. It's telling that the MAGA trash doesn't even respect him.
Screw trump. We supported Ukraine for the right reasons, to help a small country keep its independence from someone who is an evil, greedy dictator. We've always helped other countries in matters like these, without a demand for repayment. We helped rebuild our enemies Germany and Japan after WW2.
He is so egregiously evil. One day we will learn what dirt Trump has on him and it will be extraordinary. Remember when Lindsey and McCain were aligned against Russian aggression? Now he’s a broken old traitor
The whole party and all that voted for them are evil. There’s no cure for that. The harder the push for any reconciliation within the country, the more we will be expected to toss our morals and humanity. No thanks.
1. Run the *$£& away from this colonialism talk. So we become the new Putin?
2. Are you really want to take the chance to survive while enriching pockets of Trump and his lieutenants?
idk if it even matters, judging by how cheerfully he disgraces himself. I'm seriously starting to think they don't need to blackmail him, being a bottom feeder is his happy place
Watch Miss Lindsey when he's on these shows, freestyle lying and hamming it up with his hokey little snits. He's in his *zone*. What a grody little seat sniffer. idk how anyone takes him seriously
Either it’s sex trafficking or there’s a really explicit video, but I wouldn’t discount the likelihood that it’s just Lindsey not wanting to risk his power.
Does it remind you of when there was talk by the Bush types that we should get our money back for "liberating" Iraq from Saddam Hussein by "taking" their oil?
smh shameless depravity and lack of decency or emapathy
Graham is basically saying, we can’t let the Russian pillage Ukraine of their minerals- because we want it too. This is like how Trump once said we should have taken Iraqs oil fields. Ukraines rare earth minerals belongs to Ukraine and they shouldn’t be a bargaining chip for their freedom
All I can say is that Lindsey Graham needs to realize the campaign is over and he doesn’t have to suck up to Trump anymore because he’s not gonna get a cabinet position no way no how‼️🤨😒🥹
Come on Lindsey, if anything Trump is gonna do a deal with Putin - “we’ll let you have Ukraine if in turn you give us some of their resources.” Lindsey is a moron
Or like Trump did in 2019 with The West Bank (Jordan) and The Golan Heights (Syria) in saying the United States recognized the areas as belonging to Israel
Bless your heart, Lindsay. You are either being blackmailed or you're the most malleable, gullible, flimsy excuse for a legislator in the history of government. With apologies to Susan Collins.
So is Trump going to get out of NATO and then leave Russia to destroy Ukraine and so on and we will just watch it happen or is the expectation that Trump will send the military to help Putin...what is Putin expecting to get?
Oh poor Lindsay, such a dumbass, Trump is Putin’s little ass kisser. He will not be doing a deal with Ukraine and he will not end the war. He will give what Putin wants, Ukraine b/c Trump is a useful idiot, a corrupt son of a bitch and thinks Putin is his friend. Retire Lindsay, you are dead inside.
I think that’s why Putin wants to take Ukraine. They’re rich in materials to make EV batteries. He wants to stop EVs because it would eat into his oil profits. He knows his oil money is what keeps him in power. Literally killing Ukrainians so he can keep power. How many Americans will he kill?
So not only will the pillage and plunder Gaza, they will include Ukraine in their presumptuous exploitation of War Torn Countries.
Remember when Trump wanted to just TAKE Iraq's oil the same way?
There's so much to unpack here. He says Ukraine is still standing, and he's not even thinking about the lives lost. He's only thinking about the value, what's under the ground. Graham has lost his frigging soul, along with his mind.

Fuck that house cat, enjoying a civilization built by others.
Maybe I don’t understand geopolitics, I guess. Unless I DO, and we’re the real bullies here.

Russian and American oligarchs would be taken out first .. followed by Russian cops and military personnel.
It would be a sporadic, relentless blood bath.

They belong to Ukraine and Ukraine only!

It's really just the thinly-veiled plan to trade human life for natural resources--all for the greedy enrichment of the president elect.
Same as JD mentioning that TP will not help NATO unless they stop all efforts to regulate Leon and eX.

It’s silly. But I think that’s it.
In and take all their resources because we can. God I despise Trump and Graham.
The plan was hatched by Victoria Nuland and war hawks like Graham to expand NATO, take down Putin a access the natural resources of the region.
It goes back to 2013
Ordered by putin.
republicans are disturbingly obvious.
