Ron Paul: McConnell Cannot Stop The Non-Interventionist Tide – OpEd
==========
Mitch McConnell, the current Senate Minority Leader, announced that he would step down as Republican leader in the US Senate but would continue to serve out his term in the Senate to fight against the isolationist movement in his own party. The shift away from interventionism is evident in polls and speeches of politicians, with more Americans tired of being told they must sacrifice to save the rest of the world. Many Republicans are questioning the effectiveness of interventions and the trillions of dollars spent on them. Speaker Mike Johnson is facing pressure from House Republicans over his desire to keep spending on overseas intervention. Ron Paul, a former U.S. Representative for Texas, argues that McConnell cannot stop the non-interventionist tide, as the idea has gained momentum.
