Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
That even Jesus would never

It is suspicious that he died after a trip to Ukraine.
@
Graham was a warmonger.... He will not be missed
@
if a person wants to support someone nothing is gonna stop him and if not, everything is a good excuse.
@

@

It means absolutely nothing to Ukraine because Lindsey Graham was only over there to provide lip service. That’s it. Trump does whatever he wants, Lindsey Graham has no bearing on what Trump does…nobody does. His death means nothing in the grand scheme of Ukrainian conflict. His dad means so little did I have a hard time blaming it on Russia like all the other people in my country. I don’t think they would waste the resources when this guy is just a stooge of trump. The same guy who screamed at Zelinsky and mocked him in public.

Ukraine needs a minimum of 2,000 PAC-3 interceptors per year to defeat Russian ballistic missiles. Ukrainian military-political analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko from the Informational Resistance group said on Espreso TV that Ukraine's requirement is 2,000 PAC-3 per year, against Russia's production of the 9M723 ballistic missile for the Iskander-M complex at 3 per day, or more than 1,000 per year.

The U.S. produces about 700 PAC-3 interceptors per year at Lockheed Martin, per Kovalenko. Japan produces roughly 70 PAC-3 per year at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries under license. Global combined output stands at approximately 770 PAC-3 per year, compared with Ukraine's 2,000-per-year requirement.

Kovalenko noted that 70 PAC-3 interceptors, the annual Japanese output, cover just one massed strike on Kyiv when Russia launches 20 to 30 ballistic missiles.

Real Ukrainian PAC-3 needs likely exceed 2,000 per year when the full Russian ballistic threat is counted.

NATO doesn't have what Ukraine needs to change the trajectory on the battlefield. They need a Wunderwaffe.
