Former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell warned that the world is in a “very dangerous place” similar to the period before World War II ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
The Kentucky senator spoke out against isolationism within the GOP and Trump’s “America First” policies in an interview with The Financial Times published on Wednesday.
“We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War II,” McConnell said. “Even the slogan is the same: ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.”
What he is referring to is isolationism in the 1930s. However, wanting peace with Russia is hardly isolationism. We do not have the money or the resources to go to war with Russia and all of its enemies.
Donald Trump is not talking about isolationism. He is trying to stop World War III.
McConnell is a vicious warmonger and does not want peace.
He will hold the purse as chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, the panel overseeing much of the Pentagon’s budget when the GOP takes control of the upper chamber in January. He said he is prepared to push back against Trump’s potential foreign policies, such as reducing military funding for Ukraine as it continues to fight Russia’s invasion.
He doesn’t want peace and doesn’t care how many Ukrainians die and if it leads to World War III.
He fell on his head again this past weekend.

Mitch loves war, as long as he’s not in it. It’s big money.
I’m thinking Senator Schemer is sitting on The Turtle’s shell controlling what he says etc.
Cocaine Mitch is a TRAITOR to The U.S.A. and should be held accountable
Ukraine has the largest lithium mine in the world. No doubt many would want continued access to Ukraine, not to mention all its other resources.
Greg you did not document your statement! There is no question that the Ukraine has significant deposits of Lithium and some have suspected Russia wants to get control of them. But in the overall perspective…
According to https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/top-4-largest-lithium-reserves-country-updated-2024#:~:text=Chile%20holds%20the%20highest%20lithium,the%20world's%20lithium%20reserve%20base. 2241212 22:33 GMT
The top 4 countries are:
1. Chile
Lithium reserves: 9.3 million metric tons
2. Australia
Lithium reserves: 4.8 million metric tons
Although it is second to Chile in reserves, Australia was the largest lithium-producing country in the world in 2023,
3. Argentina
Lithium reserves: 3.6 million metric tons
4. China
Lithium reserves: 3 million metric tons
China holds lithium reserves of 3 million metric tons. The country has a mix of deposit types; lithium brines make up the majority of its reserves, but it has spodumene and lepidolite hard-rock reserves as well.
You know what else is really dangerous, Mitch? A senile Senate leader.
Perhaps that is one more thing he has in common with Biden.
