Other than run-of-the-mill political grift, Lindsey Graham staked his reputation on the Ukrainian project. He is the face of it in the USA. Graham, Victoria Nuland and John McCain were major instigators of the color revolutions in Kyiv and frequent visitors there. Lindsey Graham's ego and delusions about unlimited American power are important factors here.
Yes, Trump does what the last person whispers in his ear. He's an idiot. And, yes, Graham keeps getting elected over and over, and the people from S. Carolina are particularly stupid. And yes, the people in the US keep electing conmen who do the work of the globalist financiers and the military industrial complex. The USA isn't a Democracy.
Yes, I don't know. For near ten years, every day, I've read Andreï Raevsky( he fell terribly since the beginning of SMO and finally stopped but I already stopped before) , Andreï Martianov and Andrew(ï,) Korybko. And one of my best friend is Romanian and calls Andreï. And Andrew write from Moscow....
Yea Trumps intellectually capacity is zero. His a greedy warmongering idiot As soon he thought there was billions of dollars to earn he was ready to escalate USAs loser war against Russia Facts is that Zelensky have already agreed with a deal on raw earth minerals with UK and Russia take the rest. Why do you think BlackRock have closed all their activities in Ukraine ? Because they know the game is over. But Graham and Trump are so corrupt and stupid so they continue their support
Lindsey is also an 'InCel', never been a relationship with a Woman. . . perhaps someone can set him up on a date with Mark Rutte. . . I think they'd hit it off.
So that I'm not misinterpreted, I have no problem with people who are homosexual. I don't think they chose it. I don't support normalizing it in the sense of the current barrage of gay relationships U.S. movies and TV shows are featuring, or pride parades and the rest of the "gay rights" civil movement stuff. I think it should be handled much like Russia does - there's gay bars in major cities, violence against them is not tolerated, and they're not free to flame in public.
I have a problem with homosexuals who pretend to be something they're not (e.g. having a "beard" or being in heterosexual marriages for appearances). Lindsey Graham does not fall into that category. He would not be elected if he was openly homosexual - South Carolina is a U.S. state with a very large Black population, and very conservative otherwise. But he's also never claimed to be heterosexual. When pressed on the issue, he said he had a girlfriend in university in one interview, and that it didn't work out very well. That's probably true. He's always deflected when asked directly if he's homosexual.
Macron is clearly homosexual. The "Brigette is a man" conspiracy is probably promoted by Macron's camp (or western intelligence) to deflect from that obvious truth. Zelensky is clearly homosexual, and his wife Elena is clearly a lesbian. Barrack Obama was also well known to be homosexual during his city politics days in Chicago - he was caught several times with male prostitutes and crack cocaine, and the charges swept away, for example. It may be the same forces promoting the idea that Michelle Obama is a man; in fairness to the conspiratists, she looks like and acts like a dude.
It used to be that you couldn't get a top secret security clearance in the U.S. if you were homosexual, because no one was "out" and you could be blackmailed over it. You still can't get one if you're pretending to be heterosexual yet actively homosexual for the same reason. There's too much room for compromising people on the issue if their careers depend on keeping it secret.
Macron, Lindsey Graham, and Zelensky all appear to be fucking each other to me. You can see if in the too-friendly physical affection they show each other, the staying overnight in the palace stuff. It also means they're all compromised.
This is exactly how the Vatican was co-opted; the Lavender Mafia is real. There's calls by the Catholic laity now for the new Pope to fly to Gaza. "The Israelis wouldn't dare shoot the Pope!". Those voices don't realize - Mossad owns the Pope, and has since Pope John XXIII - that's exactly how the Second Vatican Council came to be (which mostly favored Israel).
He's an 'InCel' and has not identified as "homosexual", but is of no specific sexual orientation (except perhaps of self-aggrandizement and Political power which in essence is how he gets off). I suggested Rutte because they share similar outlooks politically and might just hit it off. Lindsey's electorate is primarily "White".
I might be showing my age, but "incel" is a new term to me in the past few years when it entered the vernacular. My understanding is that it's hetero young men who have nothing to offer women - playing video games constantly, barely/not employed, no life goals, no ambition.
I have one in my family of the step-son variety. I've tried to reach out and form a relationship with little luck. I'm told he has severe anxiety issues and has trouble being around people. My observation is that he's able to pull a few hours on a weekend night on one of the delivery apps to get enough money for cigarettes for the week. He's thirty, and plays computer games from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed. After discussions that this can't go on, he had a full time job for six months or so this year. It appears to have ended. I've never known him to have a girlfriend, he has few friends in general (and those appear connected to the video game he plays), and absolutely no motivation or ambition in life that I can tell.
I haven't picked up on Mark Rutte being a closet homosexual. Not saying it's not true - just that he doesn't put off vibes that way. I have gay friends, and they swear the four I mentioned (Obama, Graham, Macron, and Zelensky) are all queer as hell - and I see it, too.
Blacks mostly either vote Democrat, or don't vote if they don't like the Democrat candidate or prefer the Republican. Demographics are tricky when applying them to the Black vote for that reason. I think Graham's pretty popular with South Carolina Blacks - the same group that enthusiastically supported Joe Biden - but I can't support it with facts.
Lindsey had to care for his Mother and then raise his younger Sister himself. He had no time for "relationships" and devoted himself to politics (he was also in the Army Reserve , Judge Advocate Corps for a while, but never saw active service) He's deeply religious and from all accounts has never been in a relationship with a Woman (I'm not implying that he's homosexual!). Mark Rutte, on the other hand is a strange individual. . . the type that the Netherlands seems to produce with monotonous regularity (he's an arrogant prick with little to no personal accountability and widely disliked)
In US, if mature male participates (and pays) female age of consent moves to 18. Plus, there are extra charges even if adult female crosses state lines. As one could see with the Sean Diddy Combs trial. Anyway, France had a similar thing with DSK being kicked out of the Presidential race.
Agree. Americans tend to dramatize it as "statutory rape". I would simply call it age of consent felony in conjunction with prostitution. Not pedophilia.
Terrible. I'm in full cognitive dissonance crisis. I'm used to see as POTUS, unfeeling bastards, scoundrels, scammers, double-tongued charming SOB, puppets, but a simple narcissistic ignorant idiot, it's really to much for me. I'm gonna lay in fetal position with my thumb in my mouth and wait for death. 😂
Once you understand that democracy, as a practical matter, is basically an exercise in passing the buck, in avoiding responsibility. Everyone in power claims to answer to and derive their authority from someone else, going ultimately back to "the people" who themselves do not directly exercise power, and who would find it difficult to exercise as a collective action problem, even if they had the formal authority to do so.
The technical term of this is a "beard". Nobody can say where the buck actually stops, who has both formal and practical authority to make decisions and has to be responsible for them.
What this means is that real power is often in the hands of unelected bureaucrats, who typically don't even want to stand for election because they don't want the voters to know what their programs are, much less to exercise any oversight. Robert Moses is the classic example here.
Even that minimal level of scrutiny is too much for some, and real power is often exercised by people not formally part of any government structure. Corporate lobbyists or Robert Kagan come to mind.
USA really have a problem with a pedophile corrupt stupid warmongering president like Trump. Both Putin and Ix Ping are playing him. They are much more intelligent and strategic thinking than Trump. While he supports war in Ukraine and the Middle East and threats the hole world with brain dead tariffs BRICS countries make big business If Trump isn’t remove soon he will ruin USA
I had it figured out months ago that this is where Trump would end up. He is weak, stupid and motivated solely by vanity, which renders him eminently easily manipulated.
Anyway, it does not matter. It does not matter whether trump was bribed, blackmailed, tricked, or manipulated. It does not matter whether he is a convert to the neocon faith or not.
The missiles will fly, all the same.
The funny part will be to watch Trump's MAGA cult tell themselves that they always were in favor of WWIII, when just a few months ago they were touting Trump's promise to end the war in 24 hours.
Anyway, WWIII is coming. The sociopaths who rule over the West have convinced themselves that a nuclear war is survivable for them personally, and besides, Russia doesn't have the stones. This is the inevitable result of Russian dithering and indecision, which I am on record of saying in 2022.
It's all true about the Senator from AIPAC but there's no excuse for any of Trump's other militarist cabinet appointments who BTW think just like Graham.
Its as if Trunp learned nothing from John Bolton, Peter Navarro et.al. in his first term.
Trump, with or without Graham, is a militarist. Stop making excuses.
He may stop funding Ukraine only to transfer the spending on War with China in the Pacific Rim.
Graham was a never-Trumper then did a 180° when he saw which way the wind was blowing. Don't know what hold he has over Trump given the MAGA base have never liked or trusted him.
Old Republicans went to a large extent to colleges and universities. Since Universities have been taken over by the hard left, they don't manufacture Republican voters any longer. So Republican politicians have changed their voting demographic. Lindsey Graham is kind of slowly adapting to that change. Same thing happened to Democrats 5 decades earlier when they lost the Southern Whites.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Graham has duped presidents for years and his defense spending that he has championed is well known. Even his incestuous ties with many of them. The guy is as wishy washy a they come and a prime example of your DC swamp rat. I often looked at the rare earths deal as a joke. It seemed to me many of the places where these supposed minerals were had populations there. The only thing funny here is the by defense contractors aren’t the ones only benefitting from the spending. Many newcomers and start ups have incredible technology that should take a big chunk of it away from them. I can’t stand the guy.
Re: ‘manipulation’: I find this explanation to be plausible, but incomplete. Up until this point negotiations with Russia have centered on the same circle (mainly Witkoff, Rubio, Waltz, and Kellogg). This group caused no problems for the Russians; the Europeans, Zelensky, and Trump’s internal foes posed the main obstacles.
Comments by Russian officials show this. Back in April Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev credited Trump with furthering peace, stressing that the U.S. team seemed to reciprocate. Since then hopes have faded, but the same people have been at work. Left unexplained is why Trump would listen to Graham instead of his negotiators.
Trump’s team seems to have sought a deal as sincerely as he—and the Russians viewed the Americans as credible—so the reason(s) for his reversal are unclear. Maybe elements in the State Department or DoD were involved, but I do not know how they might have operated. Perhaps networks have exerted pressure from without.
Trump himself said that both sides almost clinched a deal four (!) times, so why talks (and goodwill) broke down mystifies me. What stands out most is that Trump never seemed interested in hearing Putin’s take on Russian strikes, instead claiming Russian actions were entirely unjustifiable, as though Ukrainian intransigence could not possibly have played a role.
Given that Trump had previously blamed Zelensky for just that, his new view of Russia’s SMO is doubly confusing. Surely Trump must know about European provocations as well, even if he is only hearing about them from Putin, and in light of his past spats with the “liberal-globalist” elites his newfound antipathy toward Putin makes little sense.
In short, while he certainly plays a role, I don’t think Graham is the sole determinant here. Something or someone else is at work, too.
One of the few things certain about Lindsey Graham is that every half-dozen years of so he tells South Carolinians how much he loves them and how great he's been to them...and then he returns to DC and lies to all Americans.
As for President Trump, Graham is hardly the single factor in his decision to take a stand on Ukraine. T.A.C.O. has never been true; he gave Putin an ultimatum and he meant it. And stop saying Trump is an "idiot" or "stupid" - he's neither. If you think that you're smarter than he is...then YOU DO IT! Trump's primary limiting factor is that: Only God can stuff 20' of ego into a 6' man who only needed 2'.
Other than run-of-the-mill political grift, Lindsey Graham staked his reputation on the Ukrainian project. He is the face of it in the USA. Graham, Victoria Nuland and John McCain were major instigators of the color revolutions in Kyiv and frequent visitors there. Lindsey Graham's ego and delusions about unlimited American power are important factors here.
That lady's crazy. She's gonna be pissed when it sinks in that Ukraine cannot win 😁
She don't give a shit of Ukraine. She just want to annoying and weaken Russia.
So what? It worked.
It seemed to be working at the beginning. Let's wait until the fat lady sings. The situation is fluid.
Don't kid yourself.
Excuse me Andreï but do you really think that Trump is so weak that even a famous trash and lowlife like Graham can so easily influence him?
Did US people elect an idiot?
Yes, Trump does what the last person whispers in his ear. He's an idiot. And, yes, Graham keeps getting elected over and over, and the people from S. Carolina are particularly stupid. And yes, the people in the US keep electing conmen who do the work of the globalist financiers and the military industrial complex. The USA isn't a Democracy.
When I see french elect Sarkozy, Holland and Macron twice, I think that perhaps US people and french are brothers. 🥺
That's what belief in Freemasonry begets
99% of franc-maçon didn't enter for philosophical reason. Just bizness, vanity and ambition.
Yes. US people elected an idiot.
Why do you keep calling him Andreï? His name is Andrew.
Yes, I don't know. For near ten years, every day, I've read Andreï Raevsky( he fell terribly since the beginning of SMO and finally stopped but I already stopped before) , Andreï Martianov and Andrew(ï,) Korybko. And one of my best friend is Romanian and calls Andreï. And Andrew write from Moscow....
Yes, thank you, I will call him Andrew now.
Yea Trumps intellectually capacity is zero.

Yes

Have always thought he is gay. Or maybe pedophile like Trump. Is he also in the Epstein client list ?
One must not abuse of the terrible word "pédophile". It's an insult for children who suffer of it.
Fuck with a 17 years old girl is not pédophilie.
Pédophilie is a sexual act with pre-pubescent children.
Sexual majority is 16 in France.
One must not confuse everything just because it concern somebody you don't like or you hate.
I don't think that Epstein acted with little girls of 12 or less. Perhaps I mistake.
If all those powerful pigs fucked with 17 years girls, it's not very sane, but it's not pedophilie.
Let chase the true pedophile. And they are legions in politic and journalism.
In US, if mature male participates (and pays) female age of consent moves to 18. Plus, there are extra charges even if adult female crosses state lines. As one could see with the Sean Diddy Combs trial. Anyway, France had a similar thing with DSK being kicked out of the Presidential race.
There is a recent interview on richard hanania's substack about the quality of accusatory "evidence" https://www.richardhanania.com/p/the-mentally-unstable-epstein-accusers
Ok, it's an offense. It's a crime? Ok. But it's not pédophilie.
One must not confuse everything.
And once more, sexual act with a 17 years old girl is not pédophilie.
Agree. Americans tend to dramatize it as "statutory rape". I would simply call it age of consent felony in conjunction with prostitution. Not pedophilia.
Thank you and bravo for your intellectual honesty. 👍
If the president of the USA can be tricked so easily, then we have a problem.
Terrible. I'm in full cognitive dissonance crisis. I'm used to see as POTUS, unfeeling bastards, scoundrels, scammers, double-tongued charming SOB, puppets, but a simple narcissistic ignorant idiot, it's really to much for me.

I am 100% for it on Joe Robineau, but for Donald - nyet. He's too much Wile E Coyote for that.

You should have ended, as is often the case, before the last paragraph.
If it wasn't Graham, it would be some other sociopath.
As I said, the overlords are betting that Russia doesn't have the stones. This is seen as contemptible weakness.
It's all true about the Senator from AIPAC but there's no excuse for any of Trump's other militarist cabinet appointments who BTW think just like Graham.
