Lindsey Graham Wants United States Tanks on the Ground in Ukraine
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is calling for the United States to get even more involved with the war in Ukraine.
The announcement by Graham extremely increases the chances of nuclear war with Russia.
Graham’s revealed wishes come as President Joe Biden continues to send billions and billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine.
“I appreciate France agreeing to provide light armored combat vehicles to Ukraine – but this is not enough,” Graham initially said in a tweet where he shared an article to a French news outlet. “The goal for 2023 is to give the Ukrainians the weapons they need to militarily defeat the Russian invaders. This requires heavy modern tanks.”
“I am urging the Biden Administration to meet President Zelensky’s request for modern western tanks. The goal is quite simple: Defeat the Russians in Ukraine sooner rather than later. Tanks would change the tide of battle,” Graham said in a follow up tweet.

Our tanks have top secret equipment in them. Meh, it doesn’t matter, we surrendered them in Afghanistan.
