Opinion | Mitch McConnell: We Cannot Repeat the Mistakes of the 1930s

Mitch has done more to ensure those mistakes are repeated than almost anyone else. Does he have no memory of his actions over the past 20 years?

mitch, no one should ever listen to any words that ever come out of your mouth.

you are one of the worst humans to have ever been born and deserve all the pain and suffering reality can throw at you.

youre undeserving of sharing the atmosphere with other human beings.

thanks, nytimes for givinng this piece of human feces a platform.

He's right, though. The mistake of the 1930s was appeasement, lack of involvement, and a reduction of military industrial capacity. Too bad he advocates for 2 of those 3, and even on the third, he supports consolidation versus distribution and diversity of power.

Fucking die already

This is a call to war

Well he was about 60 years old at the time, so he'd probably know.

Opinion | Mitch McConnell: An Asshole Whose Grave I Will Piss On

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In a tribute delivered 40 years later from a Normandy cliff, President Ronald Reagan reminded us that “the boys of Pointe du Hoc” were “heroes who helped end a war.” That last detail is worth some reflection because we are in danger of forgetting why it matters.

We reflect less often on the fact that the world was plunged into war, and millions of innocents died, because European powers and the United States met the rise of a militant authoritarian with appeasement or naïve neglect in the first place.

We gloss over the powerful political forces that downplayed growing danger, resisted providing assistance to allies and partners, and tried to limit America’s ability to defend its national interests.

It should not take another catastrophic attack like Pearl Harbor to wake today’s isolationists from the delusion that regional conflicts have no consequences for the world’s most powerful and prosperous nation.

I was encouraged by the plan laid out last week by my friend, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Roger Wicker, which detailed specific actions the president and colleagues in Congress should take to prepare America for long-term strategic competition.

Rebuilding the arsenal of democracy would demonstrate to America’s allies and adversaries alike that our commitment to the stable order of international peace and prosperity is rock-solid.
