[JBTaurus83]

Source: Al Jazeera (English)

Lindsey Graham, the veteran Republican senator who has been pushing for war against Iran for decades, has issued a dire warning to the Iranian government, saying it was worth spending money to “take this regime down”.

“When this regime goes down, we are going to have a new Middle East, and we are going [to] make a tonne of money,” Graham, a longtime proponent of US military intervention abroad, told Fox News on Sunday.

1. Well folks....................

that is the reason why US is helping Israel bomb Iran, oil = money.

Hundreds, maybe thousands may die, but shithole said it's worth it.

It would not surprise me if Iran's bestie Putin gave up the location to the supreme leader and others.

"There is no honor among thieves".

19. Trump probably sold the information to Iran.

Why do we think we have any secret locations in this day of non-stop spying.

[AloeVera]

28. Sold the info to Iran?

?

[Irish_Dem]

2. They don't even bother to hide their corruption and theft.

The entire Iran operation is a huge smash and grab.
Oil, land, gold.

[617Blue]

8. Blood for Oil. Jeez they just come out and say it now.

[Irish_Dem]

25. The psychopaths openly brag about their crimes.

[Haggard Celine]

3. It's not our oil, Lindsey.

It's just fine to kill thousands of people if you're going to make money from it. And these people call themselves Christians.

[travelingthrulife]

20. Not just christians, the BESTEST christians.

[Haggard Celine]

22. That's right, they're the REAL Christians.

A lot of them don't think anyone outside of their own denomination is a true Christian. These Fundagelicals in America are a scourge.

[LiberalArkie]

4. At least he is being honest for once , him and his buddies are going to make

A lot of money off the war

[UpInArms]

5. Jeeeze, if money was the motive

I know an island where they take all those corporate headquarters

[eShirl]

6. Who is/are this "we" he is referring to?

Trump Crony Club?

[JBTaurus83]

7. It surely isn't

The voters of S Carolina.

[markodochartaigh]

29. English is deficient in that it doesn't have two words for "we".

Some languages have one word which includes the person or persons being spoken to, and one word which does not include those being addressed.

[xuplate]

9. Trump isn't the only one with mental impairment.

[Ray Bruns]

10. Well, it would be a first for anyone named Trump.

[WSHazel]

11. Not even hiding the corruption

Systems will break under the weight of this much corruption.

[Kid Berwyn]

12. Death for Dollars

Lyndsey shows his true self.

[LilElf70]

13. Lindsey isn't

the brightest. All mouth, and nothing behind anything he says. Remember, "I'm out of it", then joined the cult?

I describe poor Lindsey as a 25 watt bulb in a box of 150 watt bulbs.

[Emile]

14. Lindsey made 3 trips to Israel in the two weeks

before the war, to convince Netanyahu to talk Trump into bombing Iran.

15. MAGA Lackey Clown.

[Scalded Nun]

16. always about the money, the grift.

They are all playing their collective violins as the country and the world burns in the fires they started.

[Karma13612]

17. Who is this "we"?

Certainly not the American public

[Mysterian]

18. Tell the dead schoolgirls, you evil monster

How have republicans become so fully evil?

[GiqueCee]

33. Republicans haven't "become" anything...

... the have ALWAYS been irredeemably evil; they just don't think they have to hide it anymore. Alas, they gave away the game too soon, and now we're coming for them.
If ever they update the DSM 5, they should include conservatism on the darkest end of the sociopathy spectrum, right after "bloodthirsty psychopath".

[Autumn]

21. They don't even bother to hide it anymore.

[truthisfreedom]

23. Imagine being one of the servicemen/women who heard the sermon

About how Trump is lighting the beacon for the arrival of Armageddon for their returning Christ, and then hearing Lindsey talk about all the money. Imagine how crushed their hearts are.

[JBTaurus83]

32. It's sad that many in the military

Are part of the nationalist cult.

[Bayard]

34. Wonder how Lindsay & company are going to spend all that money,

When they're all raptured up?

[vanessa_ca]

24. If I ever see that man hanging from a tree

I'll whistle by with a happy song.
He's a disgusting psychopath. Yimach Shemam v'Zichram.

[Klarkashton]

26. Fool's gold.

[BidenRocks]

27. So why didn't the 'good' Germans overthrow Hitler?

That has been a question for years.
Now we know!
Americans don't care in the same way. We mistake symbolism for Democracy.

Only when the war comes to America will most give a damn. It took 9-11 and we started a bullshit war on a lie!
Unity fell to a needless war.

Now we're divided and have a needless war.

I am ready to form a new government built on accountability and responsibility!

250/1

30. Isn't that what Trump said about Venezuela?

[GiqueCee]

31. You won't get to spend a penny of...

... that "ton of money" if you're rotting to death in prison where you belong, you oily little turd.

[pattyloutwo]

35. Disgusting
