Opinion | Mitch McConnell: We Cannot Repeat the Mistakes of the 1930s
On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, we are forgetting the lessons of World War II.

This is a call to war
TBH I was expecting a lot worse from him. I was doubly surprised he acknowledged Russia as a threat…
He is getting senile, he forgot the new party line is that Russia is protecting Christianity.
If it's actually part of a non senile strategy, he may be trying to convince voters there are still grown ups among Republicans that will talk sense to Trump, and that Republicans aren't the party of traitors.
World War 3 is already here, it just hasn't ramped up yet.
The pieces are being moved around a bit before it really begins.
It honestly hinges on the November elections in the US.
Do you mean the war where a country of 120 million people can't win over a country the third it's size. in a world of 7 Billion people?
A war constituting only less than 2% of the global population?
Is that the world war you mean?I mean the war that showed the world that territorial conquest is back on the menu, and now other countries, like Israel and China, are trying to emulate.
Maybe if Xi is removed we can get back to improving relationships again. I hope China is pragmatic enough to realize a war against Taiwan will 100% cost them more than they gain.
IDK why they are behaving like such assholes about it currently, except Xi is an idiot about it, and want China recognized as a global power kind of like Russia wants.
The difference being China is an actual global power, while Russia is nothing without their nukes.But I don't see it as a trend following the Ukraine war, the situation with China has been uneasy for a while, and even if Russia conned Hamas into their attack on Israel, it is of little military significance, except of course for the Palestinians that suffer greatly from this.
So I get what you mean, but I disagree it's a trend.
I'm no historian but I think you're being a bit disingenuous here. Someone could have made the same comment before the tinderbox of WWI or WWII started at points.
The similarities are closer than they have been for quite some time. Hopefully you are right though and nothing escalates any further.
