Sen. Mitch McConnell warns: ‘This is the most dangerous period since before World War Two’
Senator says US ‘not prepared’ for Chinese and Russian threats
- Senator Mitch McConnell has warned that the current global period is the most dangerous since before the Second World War.
- The 83-year-old, who has served in the Senate for over 40 years, identified North Korea, China, Russia, Iran, and its proxies as key threats and said, “We’re not prepared like we should be.”
- McConnell, a staunch supporter of Ukraine, stressed the importance of preventing a scenario where 'Russia wins, America loses,' citing its vast worldwide implications.
- The Republican successfully pushed for increased US military aid to Ukraine under the Biden administration, despite facing opposition from within his own party.
- He drew parallels between current isolationist sentiments and the 'America First' movement that preceded the Second World War, implicitly criticising Donald Trump's foreign policy stance.
