Daniel McAdams, executive director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, named the main reasons and consequences leading to the GOP’s crushing defeat in the US midterms.

However, he noted that “the American people rejected the Republicans but they did not embrace the Democrats who just want different wars,” McAdams pointed out.
According to him, the Democrats – who haven't changed since the days of Russiagate - are “certainly by no means peaceniks,” which is why Americans "are going to trade one pro-war party for another pro-war one."
“The Democrats will definitely push a new funding project for Ukraine come next Congress, starting in January, and there will be enough Republicans that will peel off and support it,” the expert went on to say.
He didn’t exclude a continuation of the Ukraine conflict that could be "maybe even more expensive and deadly," in which the CIA is "up to its neck in involvement, giving targeting information and intelligence" to the Zelensky regime.
