Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) mentioned Tuesday the US ought to do as he imagined the late President Ronald Reagan would have achieved after Russia’s downing of a U.S. drone ― and that's to shoot down any Russian plane that threatens a U.S. asset. (Watch the video beneath.)
“They shot down our drone,” Fox Information’ Sean Hannity mentioned throughout an interview with Graham. (The Russian fighter jet struck the propeller of the unmanned surveillance drone, based on stories.)
“What ought to our response be?” Hannity requested.
“Properly, we should always maintain them accountable and say that for those who ever get close to one other U.S. asset flying in worldwide waters, your airplane can be shot down,” Graham mentioned. “What would Ronald Reagan do proper now? He would begin taking pictures Russian planes down in the event that they have been threatening our property.”
The collision occurred over worldwide waters within the Black Sea on Tuesday, based on the U.S. The State Division known as it a “brazen violation of worldwide legislation.”
Russia denied placing the drone and mentioned it crashed into the water after a pointy maneuver.
The incident has escalated stress between the U.S. and Russia amid Vladimir Putin’s protracted conflict in Ukraine.
Graham segued into blaming President Joe Biden for spy balloons over the U.S. and the fentanyl disaster. The senator even summoned the late “no respect” comic Rodney Dangerfield to jab on the president.
“So President Biden, you’re the Rodney Dangerfield of world leaders,” he mentioned. “No person respects you. And for those who don’t change your sport and up your sport, we’re gonna have World Struggle III.”
Graham has been one of many extra vocal GOP proponents of army escalation. He not too long ago known as for U.S. forces to assault Mexican drug cartels.
