In a Fox News interview he said…
“I have been saying for six months now: Hit Iran,” Graham said. “They have oil fields out in the open, they have the Revolutionary Guard headquarters you can see from space. Blow it off the map.”

Consumers will have to dig deeper into their pockets for electricity and heating – permanently, according to the head of the Federal Network Agency. Klaus Müller defends the fact that the German government’s austerity measures will result in additional burdens for households.
Okay Germany and you obviously do not care about your people, for “Russian Fuel” was the reason you could compete against the world market and now you are in the gutter system where the waste flows due to you own policies and actions, no one else is responsible for what you have done to yourself…

I propose we view this as both parties facing a challenging decision, and we should contemplate whether there is truly any flexibility in their choices or if the decision is, in fact, predetermined — whether to uphold defense commitments at the risk of leading the world into an unwinnable conflict. I believe no political faction in Russia could and or would overlook or opt for a policy of non-interference if there were suppression of Ukrainian-held ethnic Russian territories, whether assisted by NATO or not, and any attempt to do so would likely result in a forceful shift in power to political groups willing to make the ‘correct’ decision. Likewise, the West would have to either retract their assurances to Ukraine or escalate their involvement to match that of Russia, thereby entering into direct confrontation with them…
Thus, what is being conveyed is that NATO membership for Ukraine serves as a dual tripwire, both in terms of risking the activation of the East-West divide within the country and in steering the outcome of any such events towards the most tragic possible conclusion…
Nevertheless, this is not merely a matter of principle, and at least at that time, there was potential for a pragmatic outlook on the future. It was generally less significant to Russian security interests in this context whether Ukraine ultimately leaned towards the West and their organizations or towards the Eurasian counterparts. What was crucial was that Ukraine remained stable, and that no circumstances arose that would necessitate Russian involvement. The Russians themselves acted as cautiously as possible in Ukraine, aiming to avoid forcing a decision too soon, and this approach has faced internal criticism since 2014 — that Russian influence was deliberately reduced, adopting a hands-off strategy, which many view as a missed opportunity and a contribution to the situation through inaction…

The fact that helping the Middle East will put an end to the Illegal Israel Project is, in many ways, the quickest and smoothest way to pull the Empire of Lies and Chaos down a few notches, if not all the way into the grave, is something that Iran, North Korea, Russia and China must now recognize (and, implicitly, will progressively be exploited)…

Since Ukraine and the West are losing on the battlefield, I think they are behaving desperate. In light of this, we should now critically examine what makes a good long-term plan…
Russia has that plan and we are not privileged to that plan…
Therefore, Russia is winning, is it prudent to respond to provocations in a way that would intensify the conflict?
Therefore, we need to keep in mind that Russia wants to reduce the number of civilian casualties in Ukraine and across the whole world…
Lastly, Russia will not only exercise strategic patience but will do all possible to avoid a nuclear war with the West…
However, I think that since the West is unwilling to compromise, (due to stupidity, hate, immoral behaviour, and or games) a nuclear war between Russia and the West is more likely than not…
And then you will find that America will be totalled and wiped…
