Mitch McConnell tells U.S. to 'wake up' to threat of Russia on Ukraine war anniversary

[slightlv]

33. I detest Mitch McConnell

with burning passion... but I think, in his old age and looking back at what he engendered and encouraged, I do believe Mitch is afraid of the nuclear bomb landing on the east coast. Our military IS great... our weapons, as they go, are also top rate. But there is room for improvement and upgrade to newer ones, because research has been so downgraded by republicans. I honestly believe Mitch is afraid this is WWIII already (and I'm kinda there with him in that thought. I see these as the first steps being taken.) I don't know if Russia's nukes work anymore. It almost wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. But the same oligarchs that have enabled them to deteriorate are the same corporate oligarchs over here who have taken our money and cut corners on research and nuts and bolts on our equipment. Don't forget the fiasco when our soldiers first went into the Iraq war. How many Humvees did we contribute money to groups to "upgrade" to armor that might withstand IEDs?

Beyond that, I ain't giving Mitch any other credit for thought. Me, I'm concerned about upgrading (and recreating) civil defense type things. But then... I'm old and remember hiding under my desk during "duck and cover."
