In reply to the discussion: Trump Demands Biden Remove Ad of Him Calling Dead Soldiers 'Suckers' and 'Losers' [View all]NYC Liberal
(20,450 posts)86. I hate to defend Graham because he's a POS, but he was saying there was a failure to stop Hitler
before the escalation into another world war which is what led to D-Day being necessary. Not that D-Day was a failure. And he was comparing it to what will happen if we fail to stop Putin. This was in response to Tommy Tuberville claiming Putin has no interest in seizing land.
If you spent 15 minutes studying Putin and what he wants, he wants to recreate the Russian Empire. He's not going to stop in Ukraine. We celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It was a failure. It was the unnecessary war, described by Winston Churchill. We had a dozen chances to stop Hitler. It's not about NATO. It's not about American weapons in Ukraine. It's about a megalomaniac wanting to create the Russian Empire by force of arms. If you don't stop him, there goes Taiwan. So we've been slow as hell of helping Ukraine, but Senator Tuberville's analysis really misses what Putin's all about. He's an outlier, I think, in the Republican Party. I like him personally. But what did Trump do to get the weapons flowing? He created a loan system. They're sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in- in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don't want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China. If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of, that 10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China. This is a very big deal how Ukraine ends. Let's help them win a war we can't afford to lose. Let's find a solution to this war. But they're sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10 or $12 trillion for critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous

OP
Can anyone here believe Lindsey Graham calling D-Day a failure? I am truly sickened by these folks.

Trump claims only a "psycho" or a "very stupid person" would've made such statements.

Trump never retracted all those full-page ads demanding the death penalty for the Central Park Five.

If he has a problem with the "losers" & "suckers" quotes, he needs to take it up with the Atlantic for publishing them.
