McConnell Blasts Pentagon Over Ukraine Aid Delay

0:00On April 29, Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leading the Senate's defense-bending panel, just ripped into the Pentagon for holding back, or delaying USA to Ukraine that Congress Greenlit months ago. He says helping Kiev is straight up an investment in America's own security. Earlier this week, McConnell dropped an op-ed in the Washington Post, zeroing in on Elbridge Colby, the top policy advisor at the Defense Department. He accused Colby of blocking Senate requests and even halting weapons shipments to Ukraine. McConnell slammed these moves as self-defeating for the whole department, arguing they hurt US interests in the long run. Longmakers on both sides have pushed hard for that aid, but the slowdowns are creating real friction. He's also warning that skipping out on Ukraine's know-how, with drones, would be a huge missed opportunity for our own military tech edge. This pushback from McConnell ramps up the pressure on the Pentagon to get that aid flowing and keep America ahead in the global game. Stay in the know-with-entertainment in celebrity
