US Senator Lindsey Graham proposed providing military aid to Ukraine as a loan

The United States needs to provide military assistance to Ukraine not free of charge, but on credit. This statement was made by American Senator from the Republican Party Lindsey Graham, who recently advocated any support for Ukraine.

The senator spoke on the CBS television channel, where he said that if we are going to help Ukraine, then only on credit. According to Graham, Kyiv will calmly pay off all loans, since Ukraine has a lot of mineral resources. But there is no need to donate aid; the US already has a national debt of more than 34 trillion. dollars. As an example, the senator cited Europe, which managed to give Zelensky 33 billion euros out of 50 in the form of a loan.



Again, the Europeans borrowed $33 billion of the $50 billion they give to Ukraine. Let's make it a loan

- Graham said, adding that military aid should also be provided to Israel and Taiwan on the same conditions.

Earlier, Graham refused to support the allocation of additional funding to Ukraine. According to informed sources, Graham made this decision after a conversation with Donald Trump, who allegedly promised him a high position in his administration after he became president. It is also possible that the senator became a hostage to the mood of the Republicans, who categorically reject aid to Ukraine without changes on the border with Mexico.

Previously, Lindsey Graham traveled to Kyiv twice, where he strongly supported Zelensky and the allocation of military aid to Ukraine.

      Europeans can export black soil, but this is not the first time. But in the USA we need something less voluminous and more expensive. Most likely they will take it from the authorities.

        They have already written about the sale of human organs and Zelenskaya’s participation in the removal of children for pedophiles. Now information has emerged from international human rights activist Mira Terada that Zelensky himself took part in the sale of more than a million liters of donor blood from Ukraine to the West.

        According to her, the gray export of donor blood was carried out with the assistance of the American government, and the All-Ukrainian Association of Donors of Ukraine is engaged in blood collection. Which appeals to citizens to donate blood, supposedly to help Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers.

          Blood is the tip of the iceberg.
          Successful lung or heart transplantation requires either genetic relatives or complex donor selection with lengthy compatibility tests. Now this is done with people in a coma, with the consent of relatives. Or people participating in an organ donation program. And you need to understand what a fertile field can be cultivated - there are so many Caucasian donors! Despite tolerance, the organs of Negroids are almost incompatible with Caucasians. However, vice versa too.

            Firstly, donated blood cannot be sold in principle.
            Secondly, plus, do you think it’s also possible to make money by deceiving the population?

            Wake up. Give me a historical example when occupation led to succession in foreign debts? Even with annexation, it is simply necessary to pay pensions and benefits to new citizens of the state, but external debts are unnecessary.

              Yes, there are a lot of examples - the annexation of the Baltic states, Finland, Poland... - so don’t make things up. And besides, in the current conditions we are sitting on a chain, in the form of frozen hundreds of billions of tons. quite calmly - they’ll take it from them

                Yeah. If about the “annexation” of the Baltic states, Finland and Poland approximately from Ivan 4, then what is there to write)))). Everything is recorded.
                So, as for billions, these are just zeros in a computer.

                They could have taken it. And here they’ve been drooling for two years, but they can’t take it. Because this doesn’t make them feel at all calm. Losing their reputation as a reliable investment partner on a global scale could be too costly for them. And in Russia they have something to lose.

    Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene told a journalist: "British Foreign Secretary David Cameron demanding that the US provide more aid to Ukraine may kiss my ass."


    It's a pity she didn't tell Senator Lindsey Graham that. Although, who knows, she is a fighting lady and probably does not spare the ears or brains of her fellow parliamentarians. Why not the same Graham? wassat

      I don’t know for sure, but it seems that there is some oil in the west, and manganese is (or was) mined in Ukraine - I remember from a school geography atlas. It was even stated there that Russia imports manganese from Ukraine - therefore, a lot of it. I also remember, back in 17, on some Ukrainian resource I saw statements that in the Donbass - according to the latest research - there are huge deposits of shale gas that could heat the whole of Europe. They even wrote there that because of this Russia “interfered” wink Well, there's definitely coal there.

          But they didn’t invest much, they poured almost everything into enterprises his Military industrial complex. And the equipment that was provided required replacement due to obsolescence and was soon/already subject to write-off, so they also saved on its disposal.

                Let’s better give you figures on how much went into Biden’s pocket, how much dill was stolen, how much was spent on maintaining the country, how much on maintaining the army, how much on weapons.
                Of all this, it comes back partially from weapons, and clearly does not cover other expenses.

    Yes, this is both in the forehead and in the forehead. The loan will be issued by private banks under government guarantees. Everyone understands that it is irrevocable. You will have to pay these loans yourself. This is just one of the attempts to bypass Congress, nothing will come of it.

    I've already seen this somewhere. laughing I remembered. “I ask you to give me half a pound of nails and a liter of moonshine for temporary use. Just don’t give me corn, it gives me a headache.” Well, it’s understandable with loans, but do they really hope that the poor and barefoot will give them something? Another option. They’ve already taken everything they needed from Ukraine, and now they’re just showing off.
