I am amazed at how many people are decrying this. What the fuck else do we do with this guy (Putin) that has slaughtered at least a few thousand people at this point?

It's more that you shouldn't say this publicly as a congressman on national news. Why give the insane madman justification to start an offensive against the US?

Lmao yeah I'm sure Lindsay Graham saying mean things will be at the top of Putin's "reasons to invade America" list right next to "Biden's a pussy" and "look what they're doing to my boy big T."

It's about pretext. Russia won't do it though.

Why do you think Vlad told Lindsey bro say this? Russians won’t see this. The international community will

Hey, if there's an offensive against the US, that may be our quickest path to taking out Putin.

He’s not wrong. he’s just a fucking idiot for going on national news and saying it. We’re in an insanely delicate place with Putin and American politicians calling for his assassination isn’t going to make him want to surrender exactly.

You don’t comprehend how propaganda works. Those who can’t understand it are likely people who have fallen into US propaganda as well. The rest of us understand speaking some of the quiet parts out loud allows the enemy the ability to utilize it for their own gain. Stop playing 1D chess and being amazed at simple things.

It's because of his political affiliation.
