Sen. Lindsey Graham warned President Donald Trump on Sunday not to reduce U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan below 8,600, arguing that maintaining a military presence there is key to defending the American homeland.
Graham also said he's planning legislation that would require the secretaries of Defense and State to certify to Congress that reducing troop levels below 8,600 would not create an additional national security risk for the homeland.to withdraw American troops from the country. And the U.S., which has about 13,000 troops in Afghanistan, is in direct negotiations with the Taliban to pull out American forces in exchange for concessions.
Did he listen, or is Pinocchio turning into a real boy?
LindseyGrahamSC You may not have noticed but there are many issues you and mitch pay no attention to right here in the U.S. No action on protecting us from russia election interference and republicans supressing votes, your strategy for winning in 2020. SenateGOP
Trump on Lindsey Graham: 'one of the dumbest human beings'
But I thought the US wanted to decrease their high level of opiate addictions?
america first is dead in his brain. why fight some else’s wars to sell weapons or keep american influence alive n active.
Perpetually at War
Lindsay is a chick name. Lindsay should stay home and do some cleaning or something. US has become a occupier that needs a good lesson. Maybe we can make Canada and Mexico squeez those yankees.
He’s always a neocon at heart.
We will be there forever
Lindsey Graham is paranoid ______maestro
disgusting old man, deciding about wars without participating in any fight. coward, like most of warmongers.
A Democrat will come in and Lindsey Graham will insist that troop levels in Afghanistan get REDUCED below 8600. Republicans in office play too many games. I’m sick of it.
I don't believe they let Trump make military decisions on military matters. He did dodge the draft with his Dr lying through his teeth for him.
Who will protect the poppy fields if we leave?
Really, really now, how does what you say make sense?
we have lots of drones!
This pic of Lindsey looks like an intern just shoved in their whole fist.
The threat of ending the forever wars is the only thing that will cause Republican sycophants to challange Trump
FIRED VIA TWEET SOON IS EXPECTED.
For once I might be agreeing with Lindsey. The Taliban does not care what happens to the USA. They will welcome Al Qaeda or ISIS to use Afghanistan as another terrorist training ground.
I think Lindsay is losing it
Donny won't like grammy telling him anything.
He’s speaking on behalf of the military contractors that bought him.
Why even report what Lindsey Graham says? He’ll change/amend soon as needed to conform with Trump.
'defending the Israeli homeland.' Fixed that for you.
Is Lindsey Graham thinking about our home land being attract or is his worried about the financial aspect of the lobbyists machine that supplies for the military
Reduce the troop level to zero.
Please RT this:
Well, at least he gave Trump some go advice for once. Now, we have to hope that Trump listens.
Better pipe down, Lindsey, or they're leak the video.
Iran should station 8,600 revolutionary guard troops in Toronto as a key strategic importance to protecting the Iranian homeland.
Why doesn't he just leave
Graham has less credibility then Trump.
Wait, Lindsey who? Said what? Hmmm, oh you.mean LindseyGrahamSC, they small and diminutive man from SC that is on record as sayjng things of incedible unimportance? Oh, um, sure I think I daw a picture of him on the side of a milk carton somewhere....
Careful Lindsay, I want Afghanistan back and you know I got kompromat on you! Vlad
Go back to sleep Lindsay
Queen Lindsay checked his integrity at the door.
LeningradLindsey the new Mike Pompeo Really!
It is such a waste that you have sold your soul to Trump & the totally debunked G.O.P.
I think for once I’ll agree with Lindsey....
Ironically, BLACK SOLDIERS DIED for a country that hated them so ANY LATINO from South America will do the same and no WHITE PERSON will care, we will with our OWN Pride
WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT..TRUMP IS A TRAITOR IN EVERY ASPECT TO OUR COUNTRY..INVESTIGATE..MAKE GRAHAM EXPLAIN EVERY WORD HE SAID IN FRONT OF CONGRESS..
How many BLACK SOLDIERS DIED during WW2 instead of WHITE SOLDIERS!!!!
WHAT! TRUTH HURTS, when you say Less WHITE MEN will DIE!!!!!!!
But he wants to!!!!
immigrants would trade military sdrvice for citizenship. Immigrants die coming to the USA and they to will die protecting it, besides less White men to Die!
Graham is worthless
He got a disk put back in his spine?
He's going on record because Trump isn't listening.
PLEASE.SHUT.UP.
Daddy is not going to be happy!
You go ahead and pass legislation over in the senate and expect the house to pass it? When moscowmitch throws all the house bills in the trash. Yeah sure
Here is my suggestion to LindseyGrahamSC 1. Bring ALL Troops home 2. Send them to the Southern border 3. Build a taller wall with the savings 3. Close immigration for one generation 4. Better vetting of all visa applicants 5. Prosecute visa overstayers
Lindsey wakes up?
LindseyGrahamSC you helped make him, why are you whining now.
Lindsey has always been a warmonger. There is nothing to in Afghanistan but for US to vome home. Stop Warmongering
WE arent worried about the Taliban, when we have whiet terrorist here in your and our homeland Mr. Graham, get angry about that!!
How did LindseyGrahamSC say all of that with his mouth wrapped so tightly around Trumps mini mushroom 🍄?
We have domestic terrorists and you think we should continue to spend billions in Afghanistan ?
We waste so many lives and money in the Middle East and refuse to learn lessons from the history books. So many other countries have tried and failed but we are slow learners, it will be the straw that breaks the camels back
Where is the data that supports the fear that the Taliban will be a threat to the US if we remove our troops from Afghanistan. That appears to be unfounded hysteria.
It’s hard to say who is more erratic btw these two guys
Mr Graham, there is right from wrong; PLEASE DRAW THE LINE, WE ALL DEPEND ON YOU!
And just what are you doing to protect the American Homeland? Your unification with Trump and McConnell is just the opposite of protection!
Why not He pulled out of everything else!!!
Protect the 'homeland' from the likes of Senator Graham, that is, and the specter of the late John McCain, the two most vociferous war mongers in the debacle of Terror, which only ever keeps expanding till it engulfs Americans themselves, sic: NSA, Sock Puppets.
Lindsey Graham is a war criminal.
He’s getting major kick-backs - why the heck would he want to lose all that income?!?
Lenin Lindsey
JohnCornyn
JohnCornyn Afghanistan is not our homeland
Wait, they think the Taliban is on our side now? 😂😂😂😂
Oh my Goodness, somebody put his brain back in for a moment.
Lindsey knew Trump was a snake when he took him in.
You helped create this monster! Shame on you, you use to have integrity!
Who cares what sycophants like Graham have to say?
Lenin Lindsey is showboating
Lenin Lindsey doesn’t really care
We need troops to fight white nationalists terrorists too
For once I agree with lying Lindsay.
Trump will screw it up like Syria. He just wants short term bragging rights and then lie about it.
Wow, Lindsey has SOLD his soul, and now knows he is on the wrong side, with the CRAZY egomaniac
Coming from The Man That Won’t Help His Own Country Stand Up To America Real Danger at the moment,Trump, The So Called Chose One, America New God
How about graham's leads the charge?
You are no longer playing with a full Deck.
LindseyGrahamSC ... Liking the gamble?
JohnCornyn John, goes against his Boss Trump. Ouch. That’s gonna hurt. realDonaldTrump
I smell something political here. Like his numbers back home. Is his competition making some good points. I wonder if its working the same way with MoscowMitch
uh oh.....ms graham is going on the shit list....no more late night snuggling with the supreme leader!
JohnCornyn And the women. What will happen to the women.
JohnCornyn Your gonna have to 'splain yourself, Lucy...American homeland. 9/11 we're all Saudi's...from Germany. Soldiers in Afghanistan? Please!
Lousy Lindsey!
JohnCornyn Confirmed bachelor who never met another person's child he wouldn't gladly send to die in a war for profit.
JohnCornyn so we should stay in for another 20 years ?
Bring our BILLIONS of dollars back. That includes bringing ALL our troops back. Build missile defense systems here, a southern and northern wall, bring our industry back, focus on our infrastructure and our people. Enough of taking care of the world!
LindseyGrahamSC so now you’re a “Cafeteria conservative “ ie You pick and choose what conservative principles you’ll stand up for?
JohnCornyn I agree with Lindsey on this one.
LindseyGrahamSC unfortunately your Trumpster devotion, has erased your credibility
LindseyGrahamSC get on your knees, that is the only position you have that POTUS respects of you. You created a monster by sucking up to him, so keep on, do your job and kiss trump’s a$$ again and again and again
America is not their homeland. They could give a shit!
I’m a Democrat, and have disagreed with many of his statements these last two years or so, but I think he’s dead right on this one.
Miss Lindsey has ZERO credibility. She's been all over the loyalty map, for this, against that (unless his new benefactor Trump is for or against it).
Why am I not surprised Trump thinks pulling out is the best method....
IS THIS GUY GETTING KICKBACKS.
