The South Carolina Republican also during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo,” accused President Joe Biden of having “folded” on the question of sending former Soviet MiG fighters from Poland into Ukraine and rejected the President’s contention that allowing the jets would mean the beginning of “World War III.”
“I am all in,” Graham said. “I don’t want to, no boots on the ground, no-fly zone yet. If chemical weapons are used by Putin, then I support a no-fly zone.”

The senator called it “deplorable to me, dishonorable” that the United States would not back the plan to transfer 28 fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine to defend itself against Russia’s aggression.
“The Biden Administration stopped that transfer,” said Graham. “One minute they say they are not using planes we have, but if we give them more, it would be World War III. What happened was Putin threatened Biden, and he “folded like a cheap suit.”

Graham further said Sunday that it seems that “Biden is more worried about Putin losing than Ukraine winning.”

“The Biden Administration has no stomach for this fight,” he said. “The reason they are slow-walking military aid to the Ukrainians is they never expected Putin to lose, and they cannot embrace the idea that he would lose. He is an irate dealmaker in the eyes of the Biden Administration. In my eyes he is a menace to mankind, he is a war criminal and he needs to be taken out by his own people…if the United States spent more time thinking about helping Ukraine than keeping Putin in power, we would be better off.”

As far as the threats of a “World War III,” Graham said those are based on a “bluff” from Russia.

“Putin knows it,” he said. “No one wins a nuclear exchange. I am calling for the crushing of the Russian economy. Even though our war and fight is not with the Russian people, it is with Putin. The only way this war ends is with Putin going to jail or being taken out by his own people.”

He added that the Ukraine condition has resulted in “industrialized chaos.”
“You have China saying if you give any weapons to Taiwan, we are coming after you,” said the senator. “You have the Iranians firing at an American base in Iraq. You have Afghanistan becoming a new safe haven for terrorists and you have, I think I smell a sell-out coming when it comes to Ukraine.”
