Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 15, 2025

Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, one of the GOP's most prominent foreign affairs hawks, announced on Sunday that he'll retire, while warning that, with Russia's escalation of its invasion of Ukraine, "we got to be very careful not to be on the precipice of a World War III."
McCaul made his statements to ABC News as he discussed this past week's incursion into Polish airspace of Russian drones, which led to NATO scrambling jets to intercept them. Russia said the intrusion was an error, but Poland and other European countries said they had no doubts it was intentional. President Donald Trump said it "could have been a mistake."
McCaul becomes one of at least 10 House members leaving the chamber without seeking higher office, a tally that includes fellow GOP hawk Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, who's been increasingly critical of Trump's response to Putin.

"I think he's manipulating the president as a KGB officer would," McCaul said of Putin, who used to work for the Soviet intelligence service.

Pedo 47 just needs two more weeks to reign in Putin.
