Lindsey Graham in 2017:
“I want a better relationship with Russia, but that will never be achieved until Russia changes its practice of trying to grind democracy into the ground. I can understand why Putin is afraid of democracy. I can’t understand why America and others will not defend it.”
I often hear that Russia crossed the red line when it annexed Crimea in 2014 and should have been stopped then.
I disagree.
The red line was crossed in 2008, when Angela Merkel helped block Georgia and Ukraine from receiving a NATO Membership Action Plan under pressure from Russia.
A few months later, Russia invaded Georgia.
That was the moment the Kremlin learned that military aggression against its neighbours would not be met with a decisive response.
Everything that followed became more likely.
I believe Merkel’s Russia policy was one of the most damaging strategic failures of modern Europe.
History will judge it accordingly.
russia murdered her today.
Ulyana was only 13 years old.
She was killed near a bus stop.
She wasn't a soldier.
She wasn't a threat.
She was a child.
Remember her name.
The world owes her justice.
@LauraLoomer And so … in honor of Lindsey Graham’s legacy, Donald Trump must now sign Lindsey’s bill imposing ball-breaking sanctions on ruzzia for its genocidal invasion of Ukraine.
@JeromyYYC Yeah. I’m gonna have to go ahead and uh- disagree with you on that.
In fact it’s the opposite of what you said-Canada is kryptonite for oil industry investors.
That doesn’t necessarily mean though that Alberta should separate-that’s up to Albertans.
@rshereme In this case, they are both right.
Greenlanders are right to be patriotic including to Denmark, a great country.
And Trump is right to listen to his advisors who say that Greenland is vulnerable to incursion from both ruzzia and china.
