I will say this much, I actually agree with Lindsey Graham on this topic, for the most part, and I will freely admit that (given that I've pretty much already said as much, myself). Granted, I'd much rather Putin be held accountable for war crimes and punished accordingly in an official capacity, buuuuuut... ...if he were to get taken out in some other way, well... that would be fine, too. What I don't agree with, though, is Lindsey Graham being stupid enough to say it out loud, in a public forum, as a public official of the United States government.
That said, being in agreement with Lindsey Graham about anything at all, let alone this, kind of makes me feel slimy and in need of multiple showers. *ugh*shiver*
Also, I can definitely imagine what Lindsey Graham would have said in response if someone (in the United States or otherwise, in a government position or otherwise) had said, about Donald Trump circa 2016-2020, something like:
"Is there a Brutus in America? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the United States military?
The only way this ends is for somebody in America to take this guy out.
You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service.
The only people who can fix this are the American people.
Easy to say, hard to do.
Unless you want to live in darkness for the rest of your life, be isolated from the rest of the world in abject poverty, and live in darkness you need to step up to the plate."
Lindsey Graham certainly would not have been a happy camper if someone had said that. Because I'm sure that was the sentiment of lots of people during that time (and will most assuredly be, again, if Trump somehow happens to win in 2024).
Then again, prior to the GQP as a whole deciding to surgically attach their lips directly to Trump's weird Toad chode, Lindsey Graham himself said, "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." So... I don't know, maybe he'd (secretly) be okay with it. *shrug* Hell, maybe they'd all be okay with it.
