While President Trump is striving to bring about peace to one of the bloodiest wars on the planet, one of the Senate’s most notorious war hawks is rattling his sabers, angling for more turmoil.
Senators Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) arrived in Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday. Per a press release from Zelenskyy’s office, the three discussed U.S. legislation that would strengthen sanctions against Russia, coordinating diplomatic efforts to achieve “a just and lasting peace,” and developing bilateral relations between Ukraine and the United States.
Look at how warmly Zelenskyy and Graham greet each other.

Following the meeting, Graham gave a press conference alongside Blumenthal, at which he issued a significant threat against Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Communist China.
“The game that Putin has been playing is about to change,” Graham asserted. “He is going to be hit and hit hard by the United States when it comes to sanctions!”
The South Carolina senator then turned his attention to China.
“China, the game you are playing with Russia is about to change!” he bellowed. “If you keep buying cheap Russian oil to keep filling Putin’s war machine, there’ll be a 500% tariff on all of your products!”

As Reuters notes, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a Russian sanctions bill next week, which will accomplish exactly what Graham wants.
If Graham and the U.S. Senate followed through on this threat, China’s economy could collapse, and Russia might go into a depression as well. But did Graham consider what the response from both nations would be?
Putin and Xi Jinping are not the type of leaders who sit back and take it when their nations’ economic security and pride are attacked.
