| Steve Bannon Says Lindsey Graham Should Be Arrested Over Ukraine Support |
| 2025-06-03 |
| [Newsweek] Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon railed against Republican Senator Lindsey Graham over Graham's support for a flurry of drone strikes Ukraine launched over the weekend that battered Russia's strategic aviation capabilities. Newsweek reached out to Graham's office for comment via email. The scale and sophistication of Ukraine's strikes were unprecedented and could have far-reaching geopolitical consequences. The drones were transported to Russia and stored in trucks carrying cargo units with retractable roofs that were parked near the air bases and launched remotely. Kyiv said its attack, which has been described as Russia's "Pearl Harbor," struck four bases and took out 41 (about one-third) of Russia's strategic bombers. Moscow has said only several of its warplanes were struck. Graham, who visited Ukraine on Friday along with Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, praised the strikes on Sunday, calling Kyiv "ever-resourceful." "The ever-resourceful Ukraine used creative drone warfare tactics to successfully attack Russian bombers and military assets used to kill Ukrainian citizens and destroy their country," the South Carolina senator posted on X, formerly Twitter. |

| #2 President Zelenskyy isn’t anywhere near ready for meaningful peace talks, as far as I can tell. But given that President Putin is uninterested in anything other than Ukraine’s surrender, perhaps they will be ready to address things more seriously in the fall. |

| #1 So Senators cheering the escalation is really bad form. Not criminal, but this is going to cost Ukraine. Putin will make them pay dearly for this stunt and it will derail any form of peace talks. |
