Here's How Lindsey Graham Manipulated Trump Against Putin

Lindsey Graham, a US Senator, played a significant role in manipulating Donald Trump against Vladimir Putin, leading to an escalation of US involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. Graham has received generous donations from the defense industry and billionaires, creating a toxic symbiotic relationship. He uses his position to justify increased defense spending, which benefits his donors and himself through rising stock prices. When Trump threatened to end the Ukrainian conflict, Graham scrambled to stop him, fearing it would hurt his own financial interests. Graham claimed that Ukraine had trillions of dollars' worth of rare earth minerals, which Trump believed, and used this to manipulate him against Putin. However, the value of Ukraine's rare earth minerals has been disputed by several sources. Despite this, an amended deal was agreed upon, which is expected to lead to more US arms packages. Graham's actions have led to a betrayal of Trump's base, as escalation could lead to another forever war and risk World War III. Graham's motivations are driven by self-enrichment, unlike his friend John McCain, who truly believed in his warmongering. Graham's actions have ultimately led to increased US involvement in the Ukrainian conflict and tensions with China, which benefit his own financial interests.
