Russian response to Miss Lindsey's comments on 'money well spent'
2023-05-29
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Moscow , May 28, 2023, 11:52 - IA Regnum. The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, commented on the recent statement of the US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham , who called the death of the Russians "the most successful investment" of the US authorities. She expressed her opinion in the Telegram channel.

The diplomat recalled that American banks and companies were actively cooperating with Nazi Germany and were a key force for the prosperity of fascism. She stressed that the same “good investment” by Washington led to horrific consequences.

“Senator Graham has something to compare to. One of their investments led to World War II and the Holocaust," Zakharova wrote.

According to a ministry spokesman, the US is now doing much the same thing as it did back then, pouring money down the "throat of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime."

Earlier, Maria Zakharova called the White House's statement that the United States does not support strikes on Russian territory when delivering F-16 fighter jets to Kiev "an imitation of legal behavior."

She noted that there is no international law or domestic law in this.

According to the RVvoenkor Telegram post, this is the exchange in question:

“Russians are dying. We have never spent money so well,” says US Senator Lindsey Graham smiling (http://t.me/rusvesnasu/26403).

Zelensky replied: "Thank you very much."

Says RT head Margarita Simonyan:

Senator Graham really said: 'The Russians are dying, we've never spent better money' - or this is a cut and paste job. The record was handed out by the press service of President Zelensky, so they could cheat with editing. On the other hand, anything can be expected from Lady Graham.

#12  Fake. Here is uncut clip.

One minute clip. Wow.

Based on your past posts your protestations don't hold up.

As an aside Lady Graham did say Russians dying.

#11  Think of all the fun we could have issuing arrest warrants for Russian propagandists and politicians who advocate nuking Washington or London, invading Berlin, Warsaw, Paris or Alaska. Not to mention calls for Ukrainian genocide.

#10  I didn't post it. But you fell for Russian disinformation that misconstrued a sarcastic tweet for a call to assassinate Putin.

#6  But Miss Graham called for President Putin's assassination.

Do you mean this tweet from early March?

"Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military?" the South Carolina Republican asked in a tweet.

Why the cad! Veritably threw Vlad out of 10 story window, he did. Vova's gotta lie down and sniff some Novichuck and drink polonium tea to calm down. Or did my and Senator Graham sarcasm escape you?

#5  Please find a suitably patriotic person to run against Linsey in SC so he can retire to Charleston and pursue his true calling as a Mary Kay sales rep.

#4  Indeed, the Nazis got a little help from IBM, Ford, and GM (Opel).

Nothing compared to the US (Albert Kahn et al) central role industrializing the Soviet Union. A byproduct was the Holodomir genocide as Stalin seized Ukrainian farmers' crops to pay for all the imported industrial equipment. Nearly the entire infrastructure and heavy industry of the USSR was a carbon copy of American plants.
