Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has referred to China, Russia, and Iran as the new “axis of evil” due to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel.
McConnell believes that these countries pose an immediate threat to the United States and emphasizes the need to address this issue.
He criticizes the Biden administration for its handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and suggests that it sent the wrong signal to Russia and Iran. (Trending: Biden Official Caught Working For Terrorists)
Mitch McConnell, October 22, 2023: "There’s an axis of evil in the world: China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran.”
We have been here before. They are using the same exact script from two decades ago.

“You have to respond to conditions that actually exist that are a threat to the United States. The Iranians are a threat to us as well. And so, this is an emergency,” he said.
“It’s an emergency that we step up and deal with this axis of evil – China, Russia, Iran – because it’s an immediate threat to the United States,” McConnell said.
“In many ways the world is more endangered today than it has been in my lifetime,” McConnell said.
“The question is, is American going to lead?” McConnell asked rhetorically.
“I think the Biden administration sent the wrong signal and they had the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I think that was like giving a green light to Putin to go into Ukraine.” (Trending: Joe Biden Does the Unthinkable For Hamas)

“And we see that Iran, principal sponsor of terrorism, sending drones to the Russians and attacking – Hezbollah and in this particular situation, Hamas – attacking the Israelis with drones. So it’s all connected. You can’t separate out one part of it and say we’re only gonna deal with this. It’s all connected.”
McConnell said, “We know which side they’re on” in regard to China’s stance on the Israel-Hamas war, adding, “We need to view this as a worldwide problem.”
McConnell argues that the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel are connected and that American leadership is crucial.
He also highlights the importance of Ukraine’s situation for Asian and Middle Eastern countries.
McConnell mentions the diversion of U.S. aid from Ukraine to Israel and the unfulfilled equipment for Taiwan, but he believes that providing assistance to Ukraine helps rebuild the U.S. industrial base.
“I don’t view this as about whether to give Biden credit or not. This is a question of whether it’s a serious threat to the United States. If the Russians aren’t defeated, they’ll go into a NATO country next,” McConnell warned. “And the notion that somehow our Asian allies are unconcerned about Ukraine is completely wrong.”
“The prime minister of Japan said if you want to send President Xi a message, beat the Russians in Ukraine,” he continued. “The South Koreans, the Japanese, the Taiwanese are all interested in what’s happening over in Ukraine because they know President Xi is watching that. President Xi recently declared that they had an endless friendship with the Russians. What more do you need to know about how relevant Ukraine is to Asia and to the Middle East?”
“One of the best things about this from a U.S. point of view, is when we give older equipment to the Ukrainians for example, we are rebuilding our industrial base in this country. There are jobs being created by the help we’re providing Ukraine in 38 states. And rebuilding our industrial complex for the more serious big power threat in Asia. So the notion that our assistance for Ukraine is not helpful to us is something not factual.”
