McConnell putting 'main part of my focus' on opposing Russia in Ukraine: 'A worldwide problem for democracies'
Fox News
Sen. Mitch McConnell said he will focus on combating the "isolationist movement" in the GOP, insisting the Ukraine war is "a worldwide problem."
"I think it's extremely important that we do that. I’m not particularly a fan of the Biden administration, particularly the decision to run out of Afghanistan, which is like sending Putin a green light, but we are where we are, and the Europeans have stepped up," McConnell said. "Most of the money that we are authorizing is being spent in this country, some of it in Kentucky, because we needed to rebuild our industrial base for what lies ahead with Russia, and now China as a national security problem. So I’ve got this sort of on my mind for the next couple of years." Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

McConnell said global democracy is in a precarious position, and not just as a result of terrorism experienced on 9/11 and beyond or the current Israel-Hamas war.
