WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) today delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor:
“President Trump has made his commitment to ending this war and bringing peace to Ukraine very clear”
John, you are full of it. The traitorous orange clown set a trap in the oval office to try to embarrass an ally. But like most MAGA schemes it was clumsy and ham fisted and made JD look like a buffoon.
TDS…
How many “let’s go Brandon” shirts do you own?
Yes, I’m afraid you have a fatal case of it.
Symptoms include making your whole personality about one weird orange grifter.
I hope you get the help you need. 🙏
Sounds more like you need the help supporting the lying orange grifter.
Senator Thune describes sanctions as a path to peace, but sanctions are themselves acts of war. Economic warfare is still warfare, and imposing new penalties on nations like Russia, China, or Iran punishes innocent civilians while risking retaliation and wider conflict. Increasing pressure by itself never brings diplomacy closer. History shows that sanctions actually fuel the cycle of escalation, hardening positions rather than ending wars. A policy of peace should default to nonintervention, not to continually raising the stakes of every conflict around the world.
By way of example, the Allies’ demands for German reparations after World War I were enforced under the Treaty of Versailles and later financed through U.S. loans under the Dawes and Young Plans, making Germany’s economic recovery dependent on foreign capital. When American lending collapsed after 1929, Germany suffered catastrophic unemployment and banking failures. The combination of foreign-imposed obligations and externally driven financial collapse undermined confidence in the Weimar government and caused the rise of Adolf Hitler and national socialism.
It’s great that Lindsey Graham could tell jokes, but there’s nothing funny about his unwillingness to learn from history or his disastrous influence on American foreign policy.
