The “hanging” 80-year-old head of the Republican wing of the US Senate called China, Russia and Iran a “new axis of evil”

The head of the Republican wing in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, said that China, Russia and Iran represent a “new axis of evil” that poses a threat to the United States.

In an interview with the American Fox News channel, McConnell called on the US leadership to pay attention to the formation of a new alliance of countries hostile to Washington, and also added that, in his opinion, the Western world is currently facing the most serious threat in recent years.

The Republican senator also believes that US President Biden's decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan gave the green light to the Russian leadership to launch a military special operation in Ukraine. In addition, McConnell sees some connection between the armed conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.

McConnell's comment appears to be directly related to Biden's budget request, which includes more than $100 billion for Ukraine, Israel and other military needs.

Earlier, representatives of the Republican Party in the US House of Representatives opposed combining support for Ukraine with other expenses, while demanding that the Ukrainian issue be considered separately, without tying it to support for Israel, which led to blocking Biden’s request.

At the same time, Republican senators advocate more active military and financial support for Ukraine than their fellow party members from the lower house of the American Congress.

Let us remember that 80-year-old Mitch McConnell has been stuck at official appearances at least twice in the last couple of months alone. One of these “freezes,” when the senator literally zoned out and stared at one point without saying a word, occurred after a journalist asked whether he was going to run for Congress in 2026. An assistant approached him and, making sure that the senator was literally speechless, said that “I need a few minutes.” McConnell was then escorted away from the podium.

Oh no. China, Russia and Iran are the axis of defense against US hegemony and hypocrisy.

[credo]

Domestic media and politicians and experts look stupid when they continue, from publication to publication or from speech to speech, to constantly refer to the weakness of American politicians and the unpredictability of their actions.

It has long been clear to everyone that real American politics is created and carried out behind the scenes, and the show from the White House or the US Congress is created only for mouths and wits to relieve tension in society and mislead the world.

So far, real US policy is not subject to the infirmity and dementia of some US politicians and is doing its job quite successfully.

So the influential rest of the world plays the same game of show, loud statements and performances! For those same mouthwatering people who, however, don’t trust anyone. "The whole world is a stage, and the people in it are actors"

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

Agree. And since a more or less reasonable and conscientious person will refuse to participate in such shows, they recruit freaks suffering from varying degrees of dementia for him... The main thing is that they don’t play too much to the point of downgrading, when they will fight with stones and sticks...

Not only is he old in age, but he is also an old, inveterate Russophobe. And he is not the first to speak about the new “axis of evil”. Americans cannot exist peacefully without assigning themselves an enemy, or better yet several.

Now in the USA the brand can be found in all states, old oaks and Russophobes.
Compared to them, Leonid Ilyich, this is Cicero.

It will be very interesting to know what he will say about Qatar - in the event that it comes to its senses and, instead of supporting the United States, attacks Israel with its assets (armed forces).
And there are soldiers from Somalia, Sudan, etc.
This will clearly be a positive fragment in the entire part of the Arabian Peninsula (UAE, Iran, etc.). There, Iraq will begin to think.

Yes, our dear Leonid Ilyich would have given them all a head start... To be honest, I’m looking at the US Politpanoctium, a mirror copy of the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee, the early 80s of the last century. ..

It’s no longer the beginning of the 80s, but closer to the middle - the times of dear Konstantin Ustinovich.

Yes, there’s also this Universe - it’s expanding, it’s an infection, not going where it needs to go

In general, wherever you look, there is a threat to the security of the United States.

Solar flares are to blame for everything...

I have long been inclined towards this reason for the general excitement in the world. 2024-2025 are the years of expected maximum solar activity. Now there is growth. Previous highs: 2013-2014, 1988-1991, 1968, 1957-1958. 1937 All periods of maximums are associated with fermentation of the human mass.

And I would draw attention to our deputies and senators in the State Duma, how many of them there are from 60-65 years of age and above.
The law should be for everyone, young people move life forward, and not very old people falling into childhood.

[Brother Geographer]

According to the constitution, starting from the age of 21, you can become a deputy. And I would change the constitution. Only at the age of 40 can you become a deputy and only with a real leadership position behind you

[evgen1221]

I would add, having at least some tangible success in this activity and not just being the chairman.

The freeze, when the senator literally passed out and stared at one point without saying a word, occurred after a journalist asked whether he was going to run for Congress in 2026

Judging by the senator's behavior, he is pure non-fiction from a computer game. The journalist's question caused a system error and triggered the exception handling function.

The head of the Republican wing in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, said that China, Russia and Iran represent a “new axis of evil” that poses a threat to the United States.

Rather, the greater threat to the United States is posed by elderly senators like Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelossi and others. Who still won’t talk enough with “them” and are inventing new “axes of evil” so that some “they” will earn money from the US state treasury due to some kind of war between “them” and “them”

When will we begin to destroy such fascist states as the USA, Canada, England, EU, Japan, Australia? For decades they have been killing, robbing, and deceiving people all over the world, and we are only strong in our tongues.
