So once again, why wouldn’t Graham, et al want to go hands on against Iran with their own hands?
Graham also wants US involvement in Ukraine.
Graham is as irrelevant in this discussion as he can bluster like Foghorn Leghorn as much as he pleases, he didn’t get what he wanted with Ukraine, he won’t get it here either.
I predict this will end without or with minimal boots on the ground.
He has got multiple billions of what he wanted in Ukraine so he may not have got all he wanted, but he definitely wasn’t told to go pound sand either.
I will give you this; if you go back to 1980-1995 the swamp was filling with RINO’s, Graham was right there with his old buddy’s like McCaine cheering on a war and setting the stage for a twenty year war in Iraq/Afghanastan.
I think we’ve gotten past that now, but for a brief moment everyone yelled “Wolverines” when the Russians invaded Ukraine. We couldn’t hand them cash fast enough..
I think we’ve gotten past that, We can’t keep it up in the Blood and Treasure Department to fill all of Lindsey’s wet dreams So he’s been put on the ignore list.
Nobody takes him serious, we would all be better off if he retired and he’s useless.

Threadcrapping every single topic with his single-issue bullshit is tiresome.
I wonder if new recruits in certain age brackets might be channeled to certain MOS’s so as to reserve the younger, more resilient young studs for the “other stuff.”
“Senator Lindsey Graham has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Everyone in South Carolina should help Lindsey have a BIG WIN next year!” Trump declared in part of a March 2025 Truth Social post.
Show me where that was a campaign promise, genuinely. I’m aware of POTUS running on “no more forever wars” which this is not, at least not right now. It hasn’t even been a month. If anyone voted for a candidate running on “no new wars,” they’re a complete idiot.

Considering this appears to be winding down and Marco Rubio says he isn’t going to need or request ground troops, I think this was a two week, not a forever war.
LOL
On election night he literally said “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.” in his victory speech
In 2023, when Vance was still auditioning for the role as Trump’s running mate, he wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Wanna guess the title “Trump’s Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any Wars.”
Watch any pre-election college campus debate by Charlie Kirk.
Imagine calling people who don’t want billions of dollars wasted and American lives lost, idiots.
Maybe the idiots are those who conveniently forget because they can’t admit they were lied to?

In case anyone claims you are passing along a misquote.
Marco Rubio say’s we dont need troops on the ground. He set the ground rules for rounding this whole thing up.
Fair enough. It’s kind of a ridiculous statement to say or believe.
Wow. You went from “he never said it” to “you shouldn’t have believed him” so fast I’m worried you may get whiplash.
It was literally his schtick, dude. Joe and Kamala was gonna get us into a war with Iran but he wouldn’t.
If you don’t at least partially believe what a candidate says, why vote for them?

“Fair enough” is me admitting I didn’t know he outright said that. Everything I’d seen was about forever wars, so I either didn’t see or remember that part. It doesn’t change the fact that it’s a ridiculous statement. I genuinely believe he wouldn’t want a war as they tend not to go well politically, but he’s known for taking a fairly hard line in international affairs. You really believed that no matter what could happen in four years, there’d be no conflict? That’s dumb.

Where’s the one saying no new wars?
I believe that he wouldn’t start a war. If we were outright attacked I wouldn’t expect him not to retaliate.
I’m not saying no military action at all. But I was expecting not to have another hundred billion dollar waste of a war.
I prefer finally putting and end to the menace vs. letting them get the bomb.
Let’s say the only quantifiable strategic result is Iran is delayed in getting a nuke. What does it take for the math to work out in a way you’d be ok with - where on the sliding scale from DGAF to willing to sacrifice our whole country are you?
