US Senators in 2016 Urged Ukraine to Attack Russia

An ISIS writer is applauding the war between the Russian Federation and Ukraine in the hope that it will spread to European countries.

In an editorial on Telegram, the ISIS jihadist called on supporters of the Islamic State to take advantage of potential chaos, claiming the conflict is “only the beginning” of a wider battle, Il Giornale reports.

“What is happening today, the direct bloody war between the Orthodox crusaders – Russia and Ukraine – is but one example of God’s punishment for them, as described in the Qu’ran,” the author of the editorial wrote.

A war with the West is possible and must be avoided at all costs. To some degree, the position we are in is thanks to the leadership of three warmongers who set the stage.

People like Lindsey Graham are ready to oblige. In case people have forgotten, Graham teamed up with McCain and Klobuchar to push Ukrainians to launch an offensive against Russia, promising all they needed to do it. At the time, they knew Ukraine had a deal with Russia to remain neutral on the issue of NATO.

FLASHBACK TO 2016

In December 2016, a ‘bipartisan’ congressional delegation was led by RINO Senator John McCain, then-Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar, and RINO Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina to the Baltic States and Georgia to reinforce support with NATO.

“Our allies in eastern Europe, including Ukraine and the Baltic states, deserve our support in the face of Russian aggression,” said Klobuchar. “Senator McCain, Senator Graham, and I are reinforcing our bipartisan commitment to strengthening our NATO alliances and are focused on major cybersecurity breaches which are of utmost importance as we learn of the depth of Russian interference in our recent election.”

WARMONGERING AND PROMISES MADE

A video surfaced online showing the warmongers John McCain, Amy Klobuchar, and Lindsey Graham meeting with the Ukraine military at the time. They encouraged Ukrainians to launch an offensive against Russia and restart hostilities. Ironically, at the same time, they portrayed Russia as the “aggressor”, insisting they must “pay a heavier price.”

At the same time, the Senators promised the funding and the weapons Ukraine needed. Did they also promise NATO membership or support?

The senators knew Ukraine had an agreement with Putin not to let NATO get closer to Russia.

THE INCENDIARY SPEECH

Lindsey Graham delivered an incendiary speech in the video below, encouraging the Ukrainian troops to re-start hostilities with Russia.

“Your fight is our fight, 2017 will be the year of offense. All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia. Enough of Russian aggression. It is time for them to pay a heavier price.”

John McCain echoed Graham.

“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.”

Donald Trump saw these two as “warmongers looking for ways to start WW3.”

Immediately after that meeting, the fighting started up again in Donbas, which each side blaming the other.

This shows the uniparty at work trying to create war. They offer no reason to open hostilities. They have no principles. Consider how deeply corrupt the US system is, otherwise, how could a leftist woman from Minnesota reach the same position as the 2 longtime senators. They have a financial/career reason to support the war. The US had a huge money laundering operation in Ukraine.

Bolton speaks harshly with Russia yet goes on RT. He calls the aftermath of Maidan with attacks on Donbass and casualties of 14,000 as a “hall of mirrors”. I suppose the fighter jet flying over the square shooting missiles was CGI and the women and children bodies were special effects. Maybe he should tour the areas and city entire cities nearly destroyed. Very little is left intact.

Bolton admits that Putin only wants the eastern region of Ukraine only. He believes the “nuclear threat” by Putin is a bluff, although the West went ballistic over it.

Bolton says NATO is strictly a defensive organization, while the host disagrees, he says “History will bear me out”. An organization doesn’t continually expand military blocs to encircle a nation and call that defensive. It’s essentially what has been said about the Soviet Union in the past.

He’s asked about prior US engagements, specifically Iraq, in destroying their military and “we should have done more….Not because we sought territory or economic advantage.” Actually we did. It was US corporations that benefited greatly in “rebuilding Iraq”.

He sticks his foot in his mouth by saying since 1945 this was never going to happen again to wit, using military force to change international borders, as in Crimea. Annexation was done by vote. There was no military force used. They wanted to work diplomatically regarding Crimea. Bolton, have you ever heard of Yugoslavia.

We couldn’t have Bolton without an attack on Trump. Asked if Trump was still in office Bolton says the invasion would have been a year earlier because Trump could find Ukraine on a map. He then goes on about Clinton and Hunter finances and had a negative effect on US / Ukraine relations. Has this man been asleep these past years. He says he can’t wait to find out about Hunter, the money etc.

I don’t find Bolton as intelligent as I used to think. What none of these pundits will touch on is how the US dealt with Russia after the Soviet Union fell. At that time, and well covered in most of the press, was how American business opportunities were welcomed and expanded during Yeltsin. The result was American takeover of many Russian businesses. It was the first time, and wouldn’t be the last, Because Russia was essentially being pillaged by “American Oligarchs” it helped bring Putin to power. For the many, the people of Russia have been much better off since he took over. Has anyone ever watch Russian bloggers in the recent past.
