Iran
Graham (R-SC) 03/04/2023: Twitter thread – “When it comes to Ukraine, the Biden Administration has been slow in supplying Ukraine the weapons they need to drive the Russians out. The last thing we can afford, after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, is additional weakness and indecision. Those who advocate pulling the plug on Ukraine, at least on the political right, are many of the same people that advocated withdrawal from Afghanistan and opposed tough actions against Iran. I believe the way to invite even bigger wars is to be weak in the face of aggression. Putin must lose in Ukraine. The next Commander in Chief needs to understand that if Putin wins, China will invade Taiwan and we really will be setting the stage for WW III. Pulling the plug on Ukraine is like the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan on steroids.”
