Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is planning to devote much of his energy in the remaining months of his term as Republican leader, as well as the next few years of his term, to ensuring Ukraine is supported as its war with Russia rages on.
"It may not be fashionable now, but I’m a Ronald Reagan Republican: peace through strength," the longtime Senate GOP leader said during a speech in Shelbyville, Kentucky, per local outlet the Kentucky Lantern.
McConnell has been a proponent of continued support for Ukraine, even after members of his party began to push back.

Yeah. Good luck with that, McConnell, you POS.
More like a “Biden Republican”.
“It may not be fashionable now, but I’m a Ronald Reagan Republican:...”

No, you’re not.
McTurtle doesn’t have sufficient character to qualify him as Reagan’s T.P. holder!
It is fashionable now, and you're NOT a Reagan Republican.
The world has changed immensely from Reagan’s day.
To blindly apply his policies in the modern era is nothing short of...blind.
The closest analog to the Soviet Union is CHINA. And Europe is MORE than capable of providing their own security.
When did Reagan want to turn Ukraine into a CIA-backed puppet state to foster eternal war with Russia?
Remember the movie “Groundhog Day”?
For Mitch Groundhog Day is November 4, 1980.
How does that work Mitch? More of this rebranding Reagan crap. Reagan disliked war, and never had the slightest predilection that fighting Russia was a lifelong mission. He was pleased at the idea that that things were massively improved by him.
Other than Grenada, a punitive raid on Libya, and a humanitarian intervention in Lebanon, Reagan launched no wars.
Reagan liked Trump.
Try a single topic bill?
Reagan wasn’t a warmonger, nor would he have supported the globalist agenda in Ukraine you old decrepit fop Mitch.
RINOs have been on a mission in the last twenty years to recast Reagan in the image of George Herbert Walker Bush. If Reagan were still alive, he would be a solid supporter of MAGA.
I think McConnell’s grasp of English is slipping. It is not peace through graft. The US has beclowning herself with Gv’t members slavering like hungry dogs for a piece of the $ sent to the Ukraine.
Mitch McConnell... attempting to identify as a Reagan Republican??? When unicorned pigs fly. He would first have to BE a Republican... and he has been nothing even close for decades.
I suspect that his ChiCom masters have instructed him to at least try to clean up his image and legacy for some future position in their glorious new regime. At least... that’s their promise (lie) to keep him on their plantation until they can manage to eliminate him as one of their minor current problems. His usefulness is coming to a very unglorious end.
Mitch’s legacy will be cemented as a demented Obama Republican
He means “Ford Republican”
McConnell likes us to forget that he supported Ford over Reagan in ‘76.
President Reagan was a good President who became our leader when our nation needed him.
It isn’t different with President Trump.
“The right man, for the right time” is something they have in common, even though the issues & eras are different.
The world has changed, Cocaine Mitch.
“How does that work Mitch? More of this rebranding Reagan crap. Reagan disliked war, and never had the slightest predilection that fighting Russia was a lifelong mission.”
Misguided and backwards.
Ronald Reagan: “We must not break faith with those who are risking their lives—on every continent from Afghanistan to Nicaragua—to defy Soviet-[Russian] supported aggression and secure rights which have been ours from birth.”
Under Reagan the U.S. helped undermine the Soviet/Russian occupation of far off Afghanistan - Afghanistan that surely offered no direct threat to the U.S.
Under the Reagan Doctrine, the United States provided overt and covert aid to anti-communist guerrillas and resistance movements in an effort to “roll back” Soviet[Russian]-backed pro-communist governments in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. In addition to supporting Warsaw Pact nations breaking away from their Soviet/Russian occupation.
[And how do you think a Presdient Reagan would react today Russia the Russian military presence in Syria, in league with the dictators in Iran?]
How do you have things backwards?
It is not the U.S. that has soufht “lifelong war with Russia”, but the other way around. As the Soviet Union ended, and particularly after Putin took over, it was Russia, under Putin, who did not abandon Soviet policies toward the West, but made them the policies of Russia. All the U.S. Presidents after Reagan sought military and nucleart deescalation policies and agreements with Putin, all of which he reneged on. Putin has never sought a relationship with the west differing greatly from the Soviets.
Reagan would have understood that were he with us today.
In many ways the Soiviets adopted and expanded the age of imperial Russia, and now in many ways Putin is trying to again apply the precepts of imperial & Soviet Russia to foreign policies today.
Reagan would not have been fooled by it.
