Even Warmonger Neocon Graham Turns on Zelensky After Tense Trump Meeting
Graham is a fat-mouth nothing of a man who could not fight his way out of a paper bag and has adored every war the U.S. started
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the neocon warmonger who has been Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s biggest booster, abandoned him on Friday after his tense press conference in the Oval Office with President Trump.
Graham called Zelensky’s meeting with Trump a “complete utter disaster.”
He said he tried to soften up the Ukrainian before the meeting with Trump about the mineral deal. Graham said he was asked if he was embarrassed by Trump’s performance and said he was never as proud.
He said he was proud that Trump stood up for the country and said Zelensky came off as disrespectful, and that he does not know if Washington “can ever do business” with him again.
“I think most Americans saw a guy that they do not want to do business with,” he said. “The way he handled the meeting; the way he confronted the president was just over the top.”

Graham said he thinks Zelensky’s antics made it almost impossible to do business with him.
“He needs to either resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change,” Graham said.
It is worth noting that Graham is a fat-mouth nothing of a man who could not fight his way out of a paper bag and has adored every war the U.S. started—was discussing the U.S.’s decision not to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which many said would be the start of WWIII.
Earlier in the war, Graham was asked in an interview about President Joe Biden’s decision to turn down the idea of Poland delivering two dozen older-model MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine.
“Because Putin owns Biden,” Graham said.
Graham has been one of the biggest proponents of more weapons for Ukraine in Congress and has said “defeating Putin is priceless.”
It is worth noting that Graham’s hatred for Russia runs deep and dates back to his interventions with now-deceased Sen. John McCain, and Victoria Nuland, who is the undersecretary of state for foreign affairs.
In 2017, the two promoted war and Graham urged Ukrainian troops to ignore the Minsk Agreement: “Your fight is our fight.… 2017 will be the year of offense.”
The Nation reported that McCain said, “I believe you will win. I am convinced you will win and we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need to win.”
The magazine wrote, “One could be forgiven for wondering if there is any precedent for such an incitement to violence by two sitting US senators?”
