Senator Lindsey Graham believes Ukraine’s vast natural resources, particularly its rare earth minerals, could be highly beneficial to the US economy. Speaking to Fox News, the South Carolina Republican emphasized that Ukraine, rich in valuable minerals worth between $2 trillion and $7 trillion, is eager to negotiate deals with Washington, unlike Russia. He described Ukraine as the “breadbasket of the world” and argued that the US should ensure Russia doesn’t take control of the country.
Graham further stated that the US could profit from an economic relationship with Ukraine, particularly by extracting these resources, while helping Ukraine achieve peace. He predicted that under President-elect Donald Trump, the US would secure favorable deals for both countries, enriching the US with rare minerals. Graham also claimed that Trump, unlike President Joe Biden, knows how to end wars and will avoid humiliating Russia or triggering further conflict.
yeah thats my only memory in that regard, and it was a disaster for the US military and the population of Afghanistan. It reverted to be a shithole. GG Trump.
The only way they aren’t better off without the US boot on their necks is the famine caused by the US as a petty act of mass murder out the door. I find it hard to explain your position as anything other than racism. “But it was better for women to be bombed to death than to live under the Taliban!” I’ll hear you say. “White people aren’t in charge!” is what I hear.
He purposely made it so the timing was under biden so biden would get blamed for it. He’s a master manipulator.
To be fair, both presidents deserve blame for that cluster fuck. And Obama for not getting out sooner, and bush 2 for getting us into the mess in the first place.
A slow methodical support of a dictator like in Libya and a civil war would not have made it any better. For all his faults the one good thing Trump did was pulling out of Afghanistan.
Trumps big war crimes were in Yemen and Syria.
