See, I've got a very squicky theory about Graham: Was McCain the only one tell him to take his meds? :p

Lindsey Graham suggests Israel should nuke Gaza and claims Hiroshima bomb was ‘the right thing’

In all seriousness, there are some times that it seems like not a lot of anything is going on in his brain these days. From my understanding, Hiroshima was the first bomb dropped, so that was needed to coerce Japan into surrendering, or else risk the loss of life of too many soldiers. If I remember correctly, Japan was basically in the middle of surrendering when the bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, and that was not the one that was needed, at least not so soon to Hiroshima. Memory of this history lesson is fuzzy, however.

But back to Graham. Even if he didn't mean it, it's psycho to even talk about nuking a country as a talking point. The second anyone drops a nuke on anyone, we will be in WWIII because all the radicals in the Mid-East will go no holds barred.

Like... don't even joke. We do not want to see those horrors. Pardon my language but these total fucking privileged, bougie idiots in Washington know nothing about the horrors of war. And if war happens, they will be the most comfortable and protected while the rest of the world deals with it. They need to visit the Hiroshima museum and maybe Auschwitz too while they're at it and get a goddamn reality check.

If there's one thing we've learned about those guys at the GOP after the first Trump era (because there's likely to be a second one) is, they can say just about anything they like, no matter how outrageous it is, and still get away with barely a scratch on their political reputation or their electorial standing.
