Warmonger Lindsey Graham, who also loves proxy wars, told Shannon Bream on Fox News that he is open to using US forces in Taiwan. If Graham has his way, we’ll be at war with Russia, China, and everyone who supports them.
“Here’s what I think,” said Graham.” I think they are setting the stage possibly for a blockade of Taiwan that the Communist Chinese Party is going to test us dramatically this year and next year before the election.
“So, in 1961, the Russians tried to isolate West Berlin. So, I’m fearful the Chinese may be sending conditions to blockade Taiwan in coming months or weeks, and we need to respond forcefully. If they do that, we need to blockade oil shipments coming from the Midwest to China and let them know if you blockade Taiwan, we’re going to cut off your oil.
“We need to train more aggressively Taiwanese forces so they can fight like the Ukrainians. We need to put nuclear-tipped missiles back in our submarines. Biden won’t do it. The military has asked for the nuclear-tipped cruise missiles to be put back in submarines like the Russians did. We need more forces in the region.
“I think if you do those things, you could deter a blockade.”
All this fool wants to do is stir antagonism and then attack them for reacting.
Shannon Bream was concerned about the acceleration, adding, “We don’t want to be leading to World War III.”
“Well, nobody wants World War III,” Graham responded. “But what kind of world do you want to live in? Do you want to live in a world where an island called Taiwan could be taken by China, 90 percent of the high-end chips are made in Taiwan? They would have a monopoly on the digital economy.
“Do you want to just let Putin take whatever he wants in Europe?
“I don’t want to live in that kind of world. There’s no reason for this.
Our country is being destroyed from within, which should concern him more. China and Russia will take over if we don’t stop them from coming over our border.
“Listen, I believe in a One China Policy, but I would be willing to fight for Taiwan because Taiwan is a democracy. We’ve stood with them for decades.
“So, Taiwan’s not the problem. Lindsey Graham’s not the problem. It’s Putin, and it’s Xi.
“So, what would I do to deter a blockade? I’d like the Chinese to know if you blockade Taiwan, you’re going to have a hard time getting oil from the Mideast.
“I would increase training and get the F-16s they need in Taiwan. There’s a backlog. I would solve that backlog. I would move war forces to South Korea and Japan.
“I would put nuclear-tipped cruise missiles in all of our submarines all over the world, like the Russians did when they got out of the nuclear treaty and started using cruise missiles, nuclear-tipped. That’s what Reagan did in the Cold War.
“So, I would up our game. If you don’t up your game now, you are going to have a war.”
Bream noted that McCaul, another warmonger, would authorize force. She asked Graham if he’d support this.
“Strategic ambiguity is not working. China, after Afghanistan, believes that the store is open, that you can go in and take whatever you want on Biden’s watch.
“So, the question for Congress – should we have a defense argument with the island of Taiwan? We don’t. Should we have one?
“But, yes, I’d be very much open to using U.S. forces to defend Taiwan because it’s in our national security interest to do so.”
I’d be very much open to him being on the front lines along with Chairman McCaul. Graham is very dangerous.
Col. Doug MacGregor has a very interesting and different take.
At about 8:52, Col. MacGregor doesn’t believe China is massing forces to invade anyone. They don’t want to go to war since it’s bad for business. What they want is trade throughout Eurasia.
See what you think.

The bada$$ who lives with his Mommy studiously avoided the Viet Nam war when it was his generation’s turn.
Lindsey has never seen a conflict that he wouldnt hesitate to send your children into.
Send the entire extended Graham family to Taiwan and place them in bunkers on the beaches to be the trip wire to announce when it is time for war to start.
Graham the War Hawk sort of missed his opportunity to serve in Viet Nam when it was his generation’s turn.
But he’s all in for sending young Americans to war now.
Lyndsey Graham is a Deep State War monger that would send in US troops to wipe his butt. To Graham, sending US Troops into conflict is always his First choice, never the last. Now he is in favor of bombing Mexico’s drug cartels, when all that needs to be done is to tighten the security on the borders. But doing that is not going to please his military industrial complex campaign donors.
I am very much in favor of sending Lindsey Graham to Taiwan, permanently.
Give Taiwan enough military hardware including small tactical nukes (or MOABS) sufficient to sink the invading Chinese fleet, F-16’s and anti-aircraft batteries sufficient to splash the invading Chinese airforce and a robust training schedule to let the Chinese know that to bite the little porcupine is near suicide.
In exchange for that, move some of those chip factories from Taiwan to the United States so that we do not get caught with our pants down should the Chinese take Taiwan anyway.
Please see earlier post and evidence that disputes criticisms.
I don’t mind disagreements on what people think should be done, but the true facts should be the basis of discussion, and not wishful thinking.
Wouldn’t it be nice if a law were passed requiring a random 10% of Congress”people” who support war be required to actively serve on the frontlines of that war (foregoing their salaries, healthcare and other perks during service)? Age or sex should not matter.
Old light in the loafer Lindsey. Never ever can close to serving his country. He talks all tough like Biden. Cowards do that. Puck him. No war.
This is an airhead reading a script interviewing an airhead big government lobbyist. Graham speaks contradictions, and is a buffoon. The 1 Red China policy is a policy of seizing Taiwan. But Bream does not ask him about it because it is not in her script.
We can see who the officials are who are connected with the corrupt establishment by seeing who gets all the airtime to babble. Notice a stated concern is the chips, not the right of Taiwanese for peace and freedom. This shows he gets his info from US intel and DoD reports, the people who drive him.
SC is an awesome state…but why won’t they stop foisting RINO Graham on us?
Lindsey Graham is attached to the Military Industrial Complex at the Hip, so there isn’t a War anywhere in the World that he doesn’t support!
In my opinion, John McCain and Graham never saw a war they didn’t love. Making millions off of wars.
Whatever sells weapons,right Lindsey?
Graham never met a conflict he could send people to die in he didn’t like. Military/Industrial Complex, NWO tool, traitor to the USA
Graham can be in the first wave of assault troops along with Kerry, Pelosi, biden and the rest. Let them show us the way.
Some thoughts, perhaps controversial.
Totalitarian regimes love to claim territory that does not belong to them. There was no historic reason for Russian to claim parts of the Ukraine, or for that matter for China to Claim Taiwan. But they make the claim for years and expect it is accepted. If they are genuinely allies, and in the case of Taiwan they have been since WW2, should we abandon them as Biden abandoned our allies in Afghanistan?
Does the fact that the CCP, a “government entity” with a shorter history than the leadership of Taiwan, claims it as their territory mean we must not put any troops there? Are not the Taiwanese faithful trading partners?
I often disagree with Sen. Graham, but is it fair when he is taking a stand that was certainly true in US history in the past to say “All this fool wants to do is stir antagonism and then attack them for reacting.”
The Ukraine is not the same as Taiwan.
Was Trump a warmonger for standing up to NK and Iran?
Graham said,
““Well, nobody wants World War III,” Graham responded. “But what kind of world do you want to live in? Do you want to live in a world where an island called Taiwan could be taken by China, 90 percent of the high-end chips are made in Taiwan? They would have a monopoly on the digital economy.
“Do you want to just let Putin take whatever he wants in Europe?
“I don’t want to live in that kind of world. There’s no reason for this.”
Trump drew lines, why is it suddenly wrong to draw lines”
It is fair to say, “Our country is being destroyed from within, which should concern him more. China and Russia will take over if we don’t stop them from coming over our border.” But where will we be able to trade if the totalitarian keep claiming more and more territory?
Since the days of Stephen Decatur the USA has fought for open seas against the likes of the Barbary Pirates..
President Thomas Jefferson, known for his aversion to standing armies and the navy, acted contrary to such sentiment and began his presidency by sending U.S. naval forces to fight the Barbary states rather than continue paying huge annual tributes to those North African kingdoms.
If the Chinese move to blockade Taiwan does that historical precendent end?
Actually, Russia does have some historical claims to Ukraine if you go back half a millennium. Ukraine and Russia do have a shared history and at least half of Ukraine identifies as Russian which is why Ukraine will lose.
Except for a brief period after the Soviet Union broke up, Crimea was not part of Ukraine. There is about 700 years of Crimea not part of Ukraine.
I think the USA seized Ukraine in the 2014 coup.
I am for local control of regions. That gives people more say so.
I am not disagreeing but Russia had no claim on Crimea either.
I expected negative reactions but hoped for at least well thought out responses.
The half millennium comment may be a reference to the Kievan Rus’, but they were was the common cultural ancestor for, in alphabetical order: Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine.
That hardly gives Russia a claim on the Ukraine. In a sense the Lithuanians might have a much stronger claim.
I was unable to attach the maps that show the points made.
Google “Map comparing Kievan Rus’ with modern countries” and you can study them.
When are you going to do something? Make a list of everything they have done against you and your freedoms…and ask yourselves, what would it take for you to do something, that’s what we are all wondering.
This particular POS is on your team…and yet you do absolutely nothing…..again.
