Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), speaking on June 9 on the CBS’s Sunday broadcast “Face the Nation”, revealed the true imperialist goals of the proponents of perpetual war. Graham explained that Ukraine has an estimated $10-$12 trillion of critical mineral assets. “They are sitting on a gold mine,” he said. “They can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of. They could be the richest country in all of Europe [and] I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China.” Graham’s plan is to create a loan system which would involve a weapons-for-minerals deal. Debt, war, and looting is the opposite of China’s “win-win.”
