At a time when the Donald Trump administration is treading carefully over the messaging about the Iran war, distinguishing it from Iraq and asserting that the US will exit the Middle East crisis, MAGA senator Lindsey Graham doubled down and said the US will blow the hell out of Iran. Appearing on Fox News’ Sundays with Maria Bartiromo, Graham said US will remove the bad guys and will not stop at Iran. After Iran, the US will go after Cuba. “Just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks,” he said.“This regime is in a death throe now, it is going to be on its knees, it’s going to fall, and when it falls, we’re going to peace like no other time,” Graham said. “We’re going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine. Peace brings prosperity.”“You can’t do it by talking,” the senator added. “The Democrats criticized this operation: They didn’t do a damn thing. These men and women in the military should make us all proud.”“If we get in a fight, I want to win it quick. I’m in Miami. You see this hat? ‘Free Cuba.’ Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. We’re marching through the world. We’re clearing out the bad guys. Cuba is next,” Graham said. Conservative commentator Meghan McCain disapproved of the war-mongering and said she had known Graham since she was a child. “I’ve known Lindsey Graham since I was a child,” McCain, daughter of the late Republican US Senator John McCain, wrote. “I am imploring anyone who will listen in the Trump administration to stop sending this man out as a surrogate. He is scaring people and doing damage to whatever message you’re trying to sell to the American public about the Iran war.“President Donald Trump Saturday did not rule out ordering the deployment of American troops on the ground as he explained his demand for an unconditional surrender by the Iran’s current regime. “I said unconditional. It’s where they cry uncle or when they can’t fight any longer and there’s nobody around to cry uncle — that could happen too,” Trump said. “We haven’t talked about it,” Trump said. “At some point maybe we will. It would be a great thing. Right now we’re just decimating them. We haven’t gone after it but something we could do later on. We wouldn’t do it now,” Trump said on the question of the possibility of deployment.
