Sen. Lindsey Graham says 'we did lose momentum' in Ukraine training amid aid delay

Sen. Lindsey Graham tells "Face the Nation" that amid the delay in Congress about sending aid to Ukraine, "we did lose momentum" on training forces in Ukraine on using U.S.-made weapons.

The very man who said Ukrainians dying in the fight against Russia is good value for money.

[renovatio]

“I don’t want to hand Putin these resources”

“This is something Ukraine and the west can use”

Let me translate this for my Ukrainian friends: “we westerners assume entitlement of your resources for ourselves”

[olionkodra]

Did he just said the war in Ukraine is about money?

[hobopro]

I thought it was about democracy Lady G. But it’s really about the 10-12 trillion in resources. At least they’re saying it out loud now.

[typheran]

He has never met a war he didn’t support. He is the definition of a Warhawk

Lindsey Graham, who is clueless about history, didn't know that Russia was an Empire which never ruled Western Europe so saying Putin wants to take over Europe, because he wants to recreate the Russian Empire means Senator Graham took the shortest bus to school when he was younger.

For those who would like to learn real history all that is needed is the gift of literacy and the time to apply that gift. Lindsey Graham lacks that gift apparently.

Duly note the Russian Empire was not the USSR, and the Czarists who ruled the Russian Empire hated the Soviets so the false idea that Russia is somehow Communist (and a Neo-USSR) today is also another piece of commonly held disinformation pushed by people like Lindsey Graham and those aligned with him politically.

I think Linsey Graham should strap his boots on and get on over to the front line in Ukraine 🤷‍♀️

[SimonGonzales-tc]

Guilty Lindsay Graham take him to prison already

[Vlad-rt]

It’s not that many people watch this here, so comments are having little effect on public opinion in USA
But!!! People of South Carolina, impeach the guy, it’s an embarrassment to senate and country

[fronabulax]

he fights bravely to the last ucrainien.

[doreenchindezwa]

Anyone else feel viscerally sick listening to these ssme old war mongers talking?

[HalconSky]

4:15 moment when he talks about the REAL reason the US supports war in Ukraine. Now it makes sense: it was always about natural resources and never about the people of Ukraine. This guy never cared about people dying, he lacks empathy for human life. Russia was forced to act because in the mentality of these warmongers, there is profit to be made in war and if they manage to replace Putin with a puppet leader, they not only will have one but two countries with vast natural resources to exploit.

[yourfather]

send mr. senator to the frontlines he can help all he wants...

[jluther]

So Pulling the plug on isreral didn't work in WW 2? Hey Lindsey in my history book there was no Isreral in WW 2. Pathetic excuses should at Least be coherent?

[mbxcutang]

War criminal disguise as a US senator 😁

[truthbetold]

So, all this time it's just about $12 Trillion worth of mineral assets. And most of those minerals are in the Donbas region.

[Esteban_Herrera]

@4:13 Lindsey says it all. It's not about the Ukrainian people or anyone else but a few people in the governments will get richer.

[Sweetvitamea]

This man has no shame. I’m so tired of US capitalism

[speedykobac]

He is so stupid to say open “ it’s about 10 -13 trillion of mineral assets “ . So it’s not about Ukraine and people of Ukraine

[veildell]

Exactly the same as what the California senator said to her supporters when she supports the Iraq war in 2003: this is beneficial to our economy.
