Did Putin kill Republican Senator Lindsey Graham?

[purplepoppy]

Lindsey Graham was a vocal supporter of Ukraine and has died within hours of visiting Kiev with a brief and sudden illness. Now we all know Putin has a reputation for bumping off people, so should we be suspicious?

Personal I think yes but America will cover it up lest they appear weak.

[Lynx122]

You think the Trump administration was against Putin enough to kill someone? No they're Putins best friends. Trump spent years trying to force Ukraine to just give up all the teritory and make a peace deal. Nah Putin has nothing to gain from Graham being dead he's already getting his ass handed to him. The U. S. is sort of on their way out of Europe anyway. Starting to kill politicians would just give them a reason to support Ukraine more.

None of this really makes a difference because Ukraine with European support is winning the war even the U. S. government is not really supporting Ukraine anymore. They cut the support to almost nothing. Because of the whole America First ideology that was before they started a war for Israel and spent all their interceptors and billions of dollars every day of the war. Putin is cooked and the U. S. government is irrelevant. that's my view on the Ukraine war.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

@Lynx122 US still supports Ukraine through PURL, and Patriots. Much of what NATO gives also depends on US material and contracts. Let's not forget that it was US equipment that made the most significant impact. Also, Mark Rutte admitted its unlikely NATO could feasibly succeed without US support. No, I think this just Trump forcing NATO to pay a higher share. We are also totally fine with interceptors. Few days of kicking Iran's ass doesn't seem to be a trouble. The issue there is Trump realizing this isn't a real estate deal 😂

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I should mention the contract agreements still apply even when the US has not signed a new one. The US is still shipping equipment from previous agreements with Ukraine from my understanding (but it's obviously running out).

[Lliam]

Maybe. If so, I say kudos. Graham was a complete psychopath who loved mass murder and was as evil as they come. He was also more loyal to Israel than the U. S.

It's possible that Graham got blown up in that drone factory hit near Kiev and our government is covering it up in order to prevent calls for an all out war with Russia.

It seems that the time line of Graham's travels didn't give him time to get home before his supposed time of death.

I'll add that, if Graham was blown up in Ukraine, it would be hypocritical of the U. S. to condemn Russia in light of the fact that the U. S. has a record of assassinating and kidnapping foreign leaders.

[FreyaRed]

No. It's more likely US glowing boys eliminated US senator
Why not Russia?
- target too low priority and with too low political impact
- increase of tensions between US and Russia what is currently rather suboptimal for Russia, when Ukraine starts to crush their backbone.
- China considers Russian leadership as unreformable criminal warmongers and such an act would just cementing this image of Russia's elites in China.

Nah, putin only kills gay men nearby with enforced suicides, poison or bombs. I wager he got a disease from trumps dick and died.

[CaptainSmartass]

Is that so he can be the only gay in the village?

[Agape93]

Nah, im sure he's got some random one tied in his basement

[RavVid]

You're British (an original Briton at that) so you know what Russia has done in the UK bumping off folk Mr Putin thought needing of chastisement.

As I remember one of the first Ukraine peace negotiators became strangely ill after the friendly chat.

So I think a pretty thorough autopsy is in order for all the arcane toxic substances Putin might have used.

[SolitarySolace]

No. There is currently no evidence that Vladimir Putin or Russia killed Senator Graham. Preliminary findings point to an aortic dissection associated with hardened arteries, with no evidence of foul play reported so far. Suspicious timing is not proof.

Accusing Russia of assassinating a sitting United States senator is not harmless speculation. Were such an accusation true, it could be treated as an extraordinarily grave attack on the American government and potentially an act of war. Promoting that theory without credible evidence risks inflaming tensions with a nuclear power and giving advocates of escalation another pretext for confrontation.

Demand the completed medical findings, certainly—but do not manufacture an assassination narrative before the evidence exists.

[jshm2]

LOL, twink drunkard Lindsey was nothing special.

Just a run of the mill closet gay with, a panache of making money from weapons.

Russia didn't give a shit about his view, Ukraine only gave a shit because he was a pay check.

The world is better with him gone.

[andreasderjuengere]

Kiev is in the Ukraine.

The Ukraine is a troubled country.

Among the population there are many troubled women.

What path in life do many troubled women choose to secure their income?

I see a certain chance that Lindsay just shagged himself to death.

[Anonymous]

This is baseless. Graham, who was 71, died following a tear in his aorta, according to a preliminary medical examiner finding shared by his office. An official cause of death will be disclosed after toxicological and microscopic testing.

The tear in the inner wall of his aorta, called an aortic dissection, was related to the hardening of Graham's arteries, the finding stated. His office originally said he had suffered from a "brief and sudden illness."

[shortster]

Considering there was a woman who called 911 and said the door was unlocked. Then the senator was found alone with the door locked; leaves suspicions high. With Putin definitely one his more prominent enemies; as well as one of the few that would be willing to kill off his enemies. Hopefully, the truth comes out in a satisfying method within the next week; whether there was or wasn't foul play.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Most likely yes. Ukraine has a lot of Russians and Putin obviously is going to have his secret agents doing his dirty work and most likely poisoned the hell out of his morning coffee and breakfast that caused his arteries to harden quickly which led to his death.

The toxicology report will tell the whole truth so we will see.

[lightbulb27]

Maybe stress of travel and life… what meds was he on? I've known several people drop dead of heart failure in recent years, can likely thank covid and the vaccine.

we americans have to assume innocent til priven guilty.

[AviatorTom]

No conspiracy theory here. The preliminary cause of death is aortic dissection caused by a history of heart disease. It may have seemed sudden, but the underlying causes has been there for years.

[AviatorTom]

Here's an interesting video about Senator Graham and his passing...

[shortster]

The problem with an AD diagnosis is that most people still survive 3 days, type A, or a month, type B, without medical treatment. A rupture is much more immediate for death.

[Anonymous]

Ha! You argue "America will cover it up lest they appear weak." So the mere fact that there is a lack of evidence (America is covering it up) that Putin killed Graham is actually evidence that Putin did kill Graham. If there is strong evidence that Putin killed Graham, then Putin killed Graham. If there isn't evidence that Putin killed Graham, then Putin killed Graham. Do you see that?

[Kelley1]

Of course not. Graham is a drunk who drank too much bad alcohol.

[Med_guy1978]

Maybe the opposite side did it to provoke a war between USA and Russia as everyone would assume this.

[TonyMetal___1986]

I'm against killing a man for being a supporter to a specific country or religion or anything except terrorism!

[exitseven]

supposedly he died of a torn aorta. It is hard to cause something like that on purpose.

[exitseven]

I a, m however still suspicious about the death of Justice Scalia.

[Shiprex]

Unlikely. It was more likely bad lifestyle choices.

[Staximus]

Lindsey Graham probably ate buttermilk biscuits with extra butter and extra sausage gravy every morning

[Anonymous]

Um, no. Russia isn't stupid enough to kill a US senator which would guarantee an all out war between the US and Russia. Though it wouldn't surprise me if Ukraine was behind his death so they can garner support for the failed proxy war.

[loveslongnails]

If you discover it's true, I have a list for him.

[ThisSiteSux]

Trump did. Trump: "hey Thune, pass the Save America Act, or I'll Lindsey Graham your ass, I liked Lindsey"

[Likes2drive]

His aortic valve went bad so I don’t know how Putin would’ve been able to accomplish that

[CaptainSmartass]

Yeah. Putler and his bum chums in the KGB did it.

Simples...

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Apparently the IRGC are taking credit. That doesn't mean much though

[blackeagle007]

Why would he do that? Lindsey was a Trump supporter. Trump is buds with Putin.

[Danzigdawson]

Puck Futin. Hope he dies the mussolini way.

[Enginn]

If he did then my question would be why now.

[Anonymous]

If he did then he did one thing right, getting rid of a dirty pedo

[Anonymous]

No. Putin is a much better man than Graham was

[Dargil]

No a heart condition did. Or was it Trump?

[Alex-Snow]

I would not put it past him.

[Anonymous]

No, I doubt it.

[Opinion Owner]

Look I don’t like Putin at all but I doubt he was involved in his death.

[Kelly6]

@purplepoppy One down more to go, 😂😂

[canamlusciouslad73]

Graham had an aortic dissection, so no.

[kinks1951]

It is not above him
