Lindsey Graham Actually Has a Good Idea! [1]

Leningrad Lindsey has apparently read the tea leaves and concluded that there's nothing more to be gained by pretending he's still in agreement with tfg's increasingly insane view of the world, particularly when it comes to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.

As reported by Newsweek, while on a trip to Ukraine Lindsey returned to his more traditional pro-Ukrainian stance by suggesting that retired NATO pilots be hired to help fly Ukraine's newly donated F-16s:

"Retired F-16 pilots who want to fight for freedom may be hired by Ukraine. The Ukrainians will look among NATO countries for ready pilots who have retired to help them until Ukraine trains its pilots," the senator said after speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, media outlets including Russian newspapers Izvestia and Vedomosti, reported. "This way, Kyiv will be able to use the F-16s transferred from allies earlier, while its pilots are undergoing training," he said, adding that he would raise the issue with U.S. President Joe Biden.

This reminds me of the Battle of Britain in WW2 when about 1/5 of all the RAF pilots who participated were foreign born and made a critical contribution in the aerial fight against the Luftwaffe.

Kudos to Lindsey for actually suggesting this!
