I would love nothing more than to be able to confirm Lindsay Graham was killed in a Russian missile strike - but I can't do that.
The speculation about this scenario hinges on the assumption that there wasn't enough time for him to have arrived home several hours before his death around 8:30PM on Saturday, 11th July. This assumption is false.
The total travel time for Graham from Kiev to his home in Washington DC including the 6-9 hour train or motorcade trip to the Polish border, followed by the 9-10 hour direct flight would have taken 15-20 hours. Graham's activities in Kiev concluded on Friday, 10 July. That included meeting Zelensky, visiting the Skyfall drone production facility, and conducting his final meeting with the press (pictured) during which he announced new sanctions.
He could very well have departed Kiev on Friday evening or during the night, and with the 7 hour time zone difference, very easily have arrived in Washington by mid-afternoon on Saturday, on time to meet his maker at the reported location and hour.
As much as Lindsay Graham may have deserved a violent end, it appears to me he met a natural death.

Russia confirms Orion UAV as carrier for Bandrol cruise missile
The Russian side has for the first time effectively confirmed that the Orion UAV (also known as Inokhodets) serves as a carrier for the small-sized Bandrol cruise missile. The adversary designates the missile as S-8000. The munition is reportedly capable of engaging targets at a maximum range of up to 500 km. The Bandrol’s cruising speed is 520–560 km/h, with a maximum speed of up to 650 km/h. Warhead weight: approximately 114–150 kg (net explosive weight around 50 kg). The Orion appears to be capable of carrying only one such missile. Most intriguing is the model and manufacturer of the jet engine. For a long time, the missiles were fitted with the Chinese commercial engine Swiwin SW800Pro.

🇺🇦 Shocking cynicism of the Kiev regime
Commander of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade 'Anna of Kiev', Stanislav Luchanov, fled after his subordinates were detained for killing civilians in Kalinovka, Kiev Oblast. A domestic quarrel with his wife led Luchanov to send armed militants, led by a battalion commander, who abducted and murdered two men in Poltava Oblast. Nine detained, including Senior Lieutenant Dolgolenko.
Luchanov’s other 'feats': in May he severely beat a chaplain, breaking his jaw; a month later he broke a lieutenant colonel’s rib. He also commanded the 425th 'Skala' Regiment, notorious for atrocities against its own soldiers and abductions.
