U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal spent $814,806 on hotel expenses in Kyiv, Ukraine on June 1. This is an absurd amount of money. If this isn't money laundering, I don't know what is.

CORRUPTION? Senator Graham has spent $25 million visiting Ukraine, but has never once visited the victims of hurricane Helene just an hour and half from his home.

Unbelievable bullshit take:
‘The war in Ukraine won’t end until China pays for helping Russia’ – Senator Graham
‘What Trump is doing to get Putin to the negotiating table is “charm diplomacy.” I once told Trump, “I don’t care if you go on vacation with Putin.” We need to end… pic.twitter.com/tLwMoUIkpZ

Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal have spent $814,806 on hotel expenses in Kyiv, raising serious concerns about government spending priorities. While Americans face economic hardship and natural disasters, Washington’s focus remains on funding foreign conflicts.
Graham’s travel history is particularly striking. He has spent $25 million visiting Ukraine, yet has never visited the victims of Hurricane Helene, a disaster that struck just an hour and a half from his home. This raises serious questions about leadership priorities.
The war in Ukraine continues to drain U.S. resources. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been allocated to military aid, while domestic crises receive minimal attention. Washington’s obsession with foreign intervention is costing Americans at home.
Graham has defended his stance, arguing that Ukraine’s war effort is critical to global stability. However, his recent statement—“The war in Ukraine won’t end until China pays for helping Russia”—suggests a broader agenda. His push for 500 percent tariffs on nations buying Russian oil signals an aggressive economic strategy.
Trump’s approach to diplomacy has been markedly different. He has emphasized negotiation over escalation, calling for a resolution that does not reward aggression. Graham’s nine trips to Ukraine contrast sharply with Trump’s efforts to bring Putin to the negotiating table.
America’s resources should be used to enforce red lines, not fund endless proxy wars. The focus should be on strategic diplomacy, not performative strikes that embolden globalist agendas.
