Desperate US Leadership Completely Loses It Over Ukraine

Editor's note: US corporation executives like Graham are desperate having no other options but to call for the assassination of a state leader. They have been out gunned, out played and out strategized in Ukraine and they all know Ukraine is lost. And if they keep antagonizing Russia they will likely put the nail in the coffin of the US dollar as there is talk of Putin putting the Ruble on the gold standard. This doesn't matter to the war criminal and psychopath Graham either, because oil and gas is going into the stratosphere in price. Meanwhile in Ukraine, all the bodies of those fascist lunatics and mercenaries are piling up on the streets in Mariupol as Russian and LDNR forces move into the city. Somebody is going to have to pay for all these disasters created by the Anglo-Americans and it isn't going to be Russia.

Sen. Lindsey Graham's apparent call for Putin to be assassinated draws backlash

Sen. Lindsey Graham's suggestion that Russians should assassinate President Vladimir Putin has drawn the ire of Republicans and Democrats concerned over the war in Ukraine.

"Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?" the South Carolina Republican asked in a tweet.

Roman Emperor Julius Caesar was assassinated by Brutus and others in the Rome Senate on the Ides of March. Graham was also referring to German Lt. Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, who tried to kill Adolf Hitler in the summer of 1944.

"The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service," Graham said.

Asked about the remarks during the White House news briefing on Friday afternoon, press secretary Jen Psaki said, "That is not the position of the United States government and certainly not a statement you'd hear come from the mouth of anybody working in this administration."

Among lawmakers concerned over Graham's suggestion were Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

"I really wish our members of Congress would cool it and regulate their remarks as the administration works to avoid WWlll. As the world pays attention to how the US and it's leaders are responding, Lindsey's remarks and remarks made by some House members aren't helpful," Omar tweeted.

"This is an exceptionally bad idea," Cruz tweeted in response to Graham's remarks. "Use massive economic sanctions; BOYCOTT Russian oil & gas; and provide military aid so the Ukrainians can defend themselves. But we should not be calling for the assassination of heads of state."

Graham made similar remarks on television Thursday night.
