Sen. Lindsey Graham says land strikes in Venezuela are a "real possibility"

Sen. Lindsey Graham says land strikes in Venezuela are a "real possibility"​

+ “President Trump told me yesterday that he plans to brief members of Congress, upon his return from Asia, on possible future military operations against Venezuela and Colombia,” Graham said in an interview on CBS's “Face The Nation.”
+ “There will be a briefing in Congress on the possible expansion from sea to land. I support that idea,” added the Republican senator, who is very close to the US president.

He has all the authority in the world. “This is not murder. This is protecting the United States from poisoning by narco-terrorists from Venezuela and Colombia," said the South Carolina senator.
Graham refuted criticism from Arizona Democratic Senator Rubén Gallego and responded: "The military is not killing anyone.
They are making the United States safer by pursuing a narco-terrorist. They are following legal orders," he said.
