Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) railed against Iran while in Jerusalem on Monday. He warned the Iranians were more dangerous than Russia and China and compared the Islamic Republic to Nazi Germany.
“Russia and China are rational actors, even though their behavior is thuggish,” Graham said, according to The Jerusalem Post. “Iran is a theocracy motivated by religion that compels them to purify their faith and have the world submit. The Nazis wanted a master race, and the Iranians want a master religion. People like that cannot be ignored.”
Graham suggested if Iran acquires a nuclear weapon, it could start an arms race in the region, ignoring the fact that Israel has a secret nuclear program. He argued that Israel wouldn’t be able to live with a nuclear Iran.
“I guarantee you the Jewish people can’t live that way. One Holocaust was enough. There will be war. Why can’t Iran have nuclear weapons? Because Israelis say, ‘Never again,'” he said.
Graham’s unhinged comments come as the US and Iran appear to be close to reaching an agreement in Vienna to revive the Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. Even though the JCPOA puts strict limits on Iran’s civilian nuclear program and makes it subject to the most stringent inspections in the world, Graham is against a revival of the deal.
While in Israel, Graham met with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, and Defense Minister Benny Gantz. Graham said he raised the idea of a mutual defense treaty with Israel to send a message to the world that the “destruction of the Jewish state means war with the United States.”
Gantz opposed the idea of a mutual defense treaty with the US when it was discussed during the Trump administration, warning it could endanger Israel’s freedom to launch attacks in the region. Graham said that he “would never suggest that any defense agreement would restrict Israel’s ability to act on their own.”
What he is trying to say is : Iran is the biggest danger…to Israel!
Because of that, he is willing to do anything !
He is willing to do anything to get reelected. Iran is no danger to Israel, Israel and the US are dangers to Iran.
Fixed that for you.
Ah,dreams of world domination again-old stuff.
Israel – the colonialist, imperialist, fascist, racist, terrorist theocratic state. It ticks all the boxes.
Arf Arf
Sure. They just settle for greater Israel.

Says Jake the traitor Zionist snake
This precisely why Israel was reborn.KissKiss
Not from a nuclear dwarf with ZERO strategic depth…??? In these rough & tough thermonuclear times? No, to be a player it is necessary to be able to take many hits and keep the show going…Not likely without great size. Smal players cannot sustain what happens when the gloves come off. The show comes to a close as the victime flee to some, any refuge from the storm. Being small in the big game is suicide for those without great size.
Grahame is the best Senator Israel ever had.
Court Jester. For a few Dollars
how much do they pay Graham to say stupid stuff like this??
They keep getting him reelected. Power is its own reward.
More than enough to say any stupid lie, obviously. Yeah, Iran with NO nukes is more dangerous than Russia with over a thousand the Graham Cracker croaks. Funny really, and indicative of large renumeration it would seem.
Graham is unhinged…
Russia and China already have us beaten, but Iran has to still aspire to control the mid east.
When was the last time Iran started a war?
Attack on the Israeli embassy in Argentina. Act of war.
The US and Israel caused cyberattacks against Iran and the US shot down an Iran Air passenger plane after Russia shot down KAL Flight 007. The US and Israel commit lots of acts of war.
Something Iran denies. But even if true, it happened 36 years ago which makes it a poor argument for proving Iran aspires to control the middle east today. In comparison to Israeli actions (sabotages,assassinations,bombings) in very recent history it makes it an even poorer argument. Plus this today.

Aspiring and accomplishing are miles and miles apart. Iran is containable, has been containable and will be containable in the future no matter how hard you stomp your feet and claim otherwise.
Iran knows that the US is on a downhill side; Iran would like to fill the vacuum in the Mi dEast.Who will contain them?They dream of a resurgence of the Persian empire as a Shiite empire.
The US isn’t going anywhere. But who might contain Iran? How about Israel and her ambiguous nukes with the samson option for one. And have you ever heard of the Sunnis?
Iran will use their nukes to neutralize Israeli nukes, and launches a slow war of attrition on the northern front.Us is depleted by 20 years o raq and afghanistan, and must use its own resources to counter China.
There will never be a “slow war of attrition”. I don’t even know how your wild imagination can conjure that up. And what about all those Sunni dominated countries? Just sit idly by? Iran is containable. Israel wants them to be a failed state or close to it. Containable isn’t good enough.
South Carolina’s great embarrassment, he surely must be compromised.
I have no doubt. Israel has something on this man.
Give that guy a flag, rubber banna and a gram of coke & send him back to Hicks Town!

EastMed pipeline project from Israel to Europe is killed.
For his own protection, please take all sharp objects away from this man and put him in a nice soft padded room.
Let him share the room with Netanyahu, Lapid, Gantz , Trump, Biden, Bush, Blair etc.
This summarizes why Christians in the U.S. support the genocide in Yemen.
Iran is nazi Germany. Their allies are ‘proxies’, non-human insects to be eliminated. Starve them out and make the world a better place.
I am a Christian feline and I in no wise support the genocide in Yemen.
Were I to be consulted, Obama, Trump, Biden and others would meet the fate of the guilty at Nuremberg. This is not because I am bloodthirsty, but rather, because sociopaths learn solely from reward and from punishment.
But they are capable of learning.
The cat that lives with me is an atheist and feels the same way. But he’s always stoned so I don’t know if I can take him seriously.
Me too.
He didn’t meet nutty!!!
The Israeli Citizen, a US senator Traitor Lady Lindsey Rants again….!
Put this man in a padded room with a straight jacket on.
“I guarantee you the Jewish people can’t live that way. One Holocaust was enough. There will be war. Why can’t Iran have nuclear weapons? Because Israelis say, ‘Never again,’” he said.
My god. Lindsey is Jake!!!
Every nation is a potential threat except America
What is a very real danger to democracy, is lyars in high political office who lie to their constituents, tell any brazen lie to try to accomplish anything, even lies that are bad for America & Americans for less prestigious liars who”s loyalty to America is ZERO. You know I mean. All to try to con Americans into supporting their corrupt causes and goals, in this case to try to shield the nuclear armed child killers from the non-nuclear armed those who abhor their murderous act.
This guy is so stupid, he thinks a country with ZERO nuclear is more dangers than Russia with over a thousand nukes. He should NEVER be allowed to have ANY say in U.S. defense decision-making. He is Totally out of touch with reality, or a lying stooge. Either way he is not fit to make any decisions on defense!!!! I would not trust him to clean my toilet.
