McConnell’s Ukraine Obsession Further Illustrates His Disregard For The Plights Of Everyday Americans
The Federalist ^ | FEBRUARY 16, 2023 | SHAWN FLEETWOOD

Posted on 02/16/2023 2:45:51 PM PST by Kazan

With a faltering economy, a wide open southern border, imminent national security threats from the Chinese government, and radical leftists trying to co-opt unsuspecting kids into their social movements, the United States under the “leadership” of President Joe Biden is in a tailspin. So naturally, out-of-touch swamp creatures such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell felt it was appropriate to remind us plebs about what’s really important: Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

While donning his infamous Ukrainian flag-colored tie during his Thursday appearance on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” the Kentucky Republican arrogantly regurgitated the most tone-deaf statement imaginable by claiming that “defeating the Russians in Ukraine is the single most important event going on in the world right now.”

“It will save us an enormous amount of money down the road if the Ukrainians can succeed,” McConnell baselessly opined.

It’s no secret in Washington that McConnell is obsessed with shipping endless amounts of taxpayer money to Ukraine — the second most corrupt country in Europe — with virtually no oversight. So much so that his blue and yellow tie has become the GOP equivalent of Hillary Clinton’s pantsuits.

But maybe I’m being too hard on McConnell. I mean, it’s not like America’s own borders are being overrun by millions of illegal aliens or the U.S. economy is in free fall — with skyrocketing inflation making it harder for Americans to afford basic necessities, such as food and gas.

And it’s not like the United States’ number one global competitor — the Chinese Communist Party — is sending surveillance aircraft into U.S. airspace with virtually no pushback from America’s commander-in-chief, whose family has alarming financial ties to the Chinese government. Nor are there radical, left-wing activists attempting to ideologically co-opt unsuspecting children from their parents and trans them without their parents’ knowledge.

And heaven forbid if a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in Ohio, polluting the local town’s land, water, and air, and leaving residents in dire straits.

Oh, that’s right. All of those things are happening in America right now.

But as McConnell signaled during his Fox appearance, if we don’t approve of his obsession with giving billions of dollars to Ukraine, we can all go pound sand.

“I’m sorry public opinion is sliding [on U.S. military support for Ukraine], but I want to reassure the American people [that] this is enormously important,” he said.

In other words, he doesn’t care what Americans think and will continue to press ahead.

McConnell and the GOP establishment despise their voters and the American people writ large. They don’t care about our everyday needs, or the fact that America’s left is attempting to rip the very fabric of our republic apart at the seams.

For them, Ukraine is just another shiny object they’ll chase until the cows come home. But by the time they abandon their latest folly and realize the calls are coming from inside the house, there will be no country left to save.

DemocRATs are admitted enemies. Sooner or later, we will have to deal with them in any manner required. However, tratorous RINOs such as McButthole really should be handled by the people of his state. We promise to look elsewhere if they take care of that talking butt-kisser in any manner that they chose.

So, if they plugged the border you would be pro Ukraine?

Why are you pro-Ukrainian? They were part of the coup and helped engineer the first impeachment against President Trump.

No.

Our interference in Ukraine is what lead to this war. We meddled there solely to enrich our political class and their financial backers, including the defense industry.

We fomented an insurrection there, illegally installed a new government, trained and funded neo-Nazis and supported them as they persecuted and committed genocide against the ethnic Russian population.

The ultimate goal was to do the same thing in Russia so our political elite and their backers could rape it like they are raping Ukraine with the help of corrupt oligarchs.

Anti-Russia or neocon, globalist and pro-liberal world order?

They were caught in the middle of a vicious US political fight. No country wants to be in such a position, they can only lose. My impression is that Ukrainian officials tried to remain tight lipped and noncommittal through the whole mess.

The wild stuff came from the Democrats and the Democrat media.

Mitch McConnell doesn’t care about everyday people any more than John Kerry does.

The defense industry sold next to nothing on account of Ukraine until well after Russia invaded. Putin himself has been the greatest arms salesman of this century.

The accusations in re Ukraine are all straight Russian propaganda.

Note that the Ukraine Cheerleaders NEVER complain about our open Southern Border, or the mutilation of American kids, or many other issues that involve the United States.

OK. Fine. That's the real reason you object. This horseshit about we shouldn't be involved because, the borders or China or gays are more important is just a cynical lie you throw out.

So, Ukraine > America. Nice screen name. Perhaps you should swallow yourself.

The greater problem in the Senate is all the RINO aholes that elected McConnell minority leader. They are on the same team and they are against us.

At least one of my Senators isn’t breaking anything today since he checked into the mental ward.

Considering that the NEOCONS are anti-Russia, that the GLOBALISTS are anti-Russia, and the PRO-LIBERAL WORLD ORDER supporter are anti-Russia...pretty much tells you who his bed-fellows are.
