General rule of thumb, Repubs don’t like supporting Ukraine because Uncle Vlad indirectly (or directly sometimes) lines their pockets. His spending on the war there is impacting their ability to live a cush life here.
Of course, there’s also the incentive of funding the military industrial complex which also lines politicians’ pockets.
If I were to hazard a guess, Graham is trying to navigate a position that’s acceptable to both establishment republicans and Trump republicans. I don’t think it’s that he’s a Russian asset so much as that he’s playing a political game. Personally, of course, I despise him. But I do stand by the article being shit even if his support for Ukraine is purely performative.
Yeah, the article is shit. I see a bunch of articles that are just a vomit of reddit posts these days, and it just makes me die a little on the inside every time. WTF is journalism anymore?
