Rep. McCaul Announces Retirement, Issues Stark WWIII Warning Over Russian Aggression

U.S. Representative Michael McCaul of Texas, a prominent Republican voice on foreign affairs, announced his retirement on Sunday. His decision comes with a dire warning about global stability, as he cautioned against the world being “on the precipice of a World War III” amid Russia’s escalating invasion of Ukraine.

Speaking to ABC News, McCaul highlighted a recent alarming incident: Russian drones breached Polish airspace this past week, prompting NATO jets to scramble in response. While Russia dismissed the incursion as an error, Poland and several European nations firmly believe it was intentional. President Donald Trump suggested it “could have been a mistake.”

McCaul expressed profound concern over the incident, stating, “We’ve never seen anything like this in recent times.” He underscored the rising tensions and the urgent need for caution to prevent further escalation.

A consistent advocate for a tougher stance against Russia, McCaul believes President Trump is increasingly recognizing the true nature of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom he described as manipulating the president like a “KGB officer.” Despite Trump’s past praise for Putin and efforts to reduce military aid to Ukraine, he has since reversed course, supported increased assistance, and invited Putin for ceasefire discussions in Alaska last month, though Putin has yet to commit.

McCaul, 63, a former anti-terrorism prosecutor and previous chairman of key House committees, is part of an older generation of foreign policy hawks. He will complete his current term but seeks new challenges within the national security and foreign policy realm. He joins at least ten other House members who are not seeking re-election.
