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.
Graham, who has been one of the Trump administration’s most vocal supporters of Israel and the war against Iran, appeared to suggest that the US abduction of Venezuela’s left-wing leader Nicolas Maduro and the attack on Iran were launched to gain control over each country’s oil supplies.
“Venezuela and Iran have 31 percent of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31 percent of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment,” said Graham.
Profits over people once again.
Republicans are genuinely traitors to the US. It’s hard to put into words how much I hate them.
Traitors to humanity
Let me guess, polymarket
Someone already made tonne of money on forex. Looking at the chart the war is over and it was just a forex scam.
Believe in the underpants gnomes theory!
- Invade Iran at an estimated $1B a day and service men dying. And do that for several months (I hope not longer)
- …
- Profit!
Who do you think that billion dollars a day goes to?
Mostly arms contractors.
Is step 1 also Profit!?
And it’s the same people. Who are also clever enough to profit from a bull market or a bear market. Who cares, just as long as one or the other doesn’t stay too long so they can profit off the swing.
Profit every step of they way.
Again, this is standard wealth transfer to corporate America. All that cash goes into these senator’s pockets via the MIC.
Lindsey graham is a child rapist and murderer who is owned by AIPAC
Conservatives are so clownishly selfish.
They’re the hamster that gets mad at the other hamster and shits in the shared food bowl out of spite.
Aaaannnddd there it is!
Assault! Homicide! Blood for money, money!
It’s all the American government has ever cared about.
As if there was any pretext before
Same old Republican party. Waste of oxygen IMHO.
Remember when we joked about america invading anything for oil and then we all stopped for a bit because they tried to convince us that there was more to the US than being the state equivelent of a crackhead with a dozen shotguns? And then they launched a self described war to bring about the apocalypse and also steal all the oil… can we stop pretending everything is ok!?
Americans, for a ton of money they will sell their own mother, zero morality.
Oh fuck off. You’re not the victim here.
Thank you for your shitty reply. I’m glad to know who you are so I can eliminate seeing anything from you in future. It’s delightful when people just come out and let you know the kind of person they are.
BUY A BIKE!!!
With wooden wheels?
No blood for oil. It was evil and stupid in the 00s, and it’s worse today now that oil is increasingly replaceable
The hilarious thing is that the American voter is supposed to be thinking of themselves when he says “we”. I would kinda understand the logic of continuing the forever war as a voter if everyone got a fat check once we ended the Iraq war. At least then I could understand that it is pure greed driving people to vote for war mongers.
In the end “we” is a small group of oil barons who made billions while footing the multi trillion bill to the tax payer. Unfortunately this just means that the average voter is greedy, but to stupid to actually benefit from their own avarice.
Still hoping for that trickle down 40 years later.
Golden Shower economics, surely the rich will start pissing on our heads any day now.
They softened it from horse and sparrow. See, if the horse eats enough there will be a lot left over for the sparrow that passes through undigested.
Basically, eat shit, commoners.
Make sure the shitbag’s grandchildren are fucking drafted! The MAGA fucks always said the USA has enough oil reserves to be self-sufficient. As usual, BS!
We’re going to have the HOTTEST economy ever! - MAGA
It is a hot economy when everything is on fire…
For those not old enough to remember, they said the Iraqi war would pay for itself with all of that oil.
It did not.
But, Graham isn’t talking “we” the US people, but “we” as in the club we’re not in, AKA bOtH pArTiEs Super Friends.
