Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on this week’s broadcast on “Fox News Sunday” that Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) aid package that included for Ukraine would not have passed the House without help from former President Donald Trump.
Graham said, “The Ukrainian military, with our help, has killed about 50% of the combat power of the Russians. This is the year of more. They’re going to have more weapons, but we also want them to have new weapons, ATACMS to knock the bride down between Crimea and Russia. They are going to have F-16s. So, this idea give up on Ukraine makes the world safer, if you pull the plug on Ukraine cause you don’t have enough capability. There goes Taiwan.”

Biden did by reversing Executive Orders. Trump should have negotiated for laws that would have lasted instead of fleeting EOs. Didn’t help that members of congress were not invested in getting the wall built.
Honestly, you are making points that make you look challenged, and that’s
being very kind toward you.
Trump’s own party wouldn’t fund the wall. Then the democrats came along.
Who do you think he should have made an agreement with?
We were very fortunate to get what we’d did, and you’re still upset about it.
Your posts are nonsensical.
“And who stopped Trumps wall?”
For two years it was Paul Ryan and the Republican Congressmen who elected him Speaker.
And then it was the democrats.
It’s already being paid back. American energy is replacing Russian energy in Europe. That brings good jobs for Americans and taxes from their employers. President Trump knows that and that is partly why he supports Ukraine against another genocidal invasion of Kremlin Bolsheviks.
And raises the cost of American energy for Americans. US energy should not be exported.
If we are energy independent, then selling some oil on the
open market may be a way to start paying down the national
debt if structured properly. A glut on the open market
should cause over-supply and a dropping of the cost of a
barrel of oil. We get lower gas prices.
As for selling off the Petroleum Reserve, Biden is a fool
not to replenish the low levels we have now.
If we were energy independent and focused on our needs, prices would be lower. Wouldn’t it help the climate crisis to NOT ship our petroleum overseas?
Rationally, that’s a good thought, but the price per barrel
is set by global market dynamics. The cost of a barrel of
our domestic supply, isn’t set arbitrarily by our supplies
here. Only an over-abundance of oil on the global open
market will cause prices to drop.
As for the global climate crisis, I don’t honestly think it
rises to the level of ‘crisis’. It doesn’t rise to the
level of it being a serious concern at all. All sorts of
global agencies are prescribing austere fixes, but based
on what?
Are sea levels rising after decades of predictions saying
they surely must? No. Lending institutions are marketing
low lying properties around the world. Out ex-presidents
have bought them.
Is CO2 really an issue? What are the actual levels. In
a recent round table event a number of people “in the know”
were asked to guess what the C02 levels are. Their answers
ranged from four to eight percent. In fact is is 0.04%.
At 0.02% plants start dying off.
There is simply no scientific basis for the claim that
CO2 levels are causing great harm around the planet.
So no, selling oil around the planet is not going to set
back an effort that should never have been implemented.
We need to do a lot better at educating people. The Left
does a great job of spitting out disinformation through
our universities and the public arena.
The government should threaten to remove the license to
educate for any institution known to be lying to its
students for political gain.
