Mitch McConell says the quiet part out loud.

Exact full quote from CNN:

“People think, increasingly it appears, that we shouldn’t be doing this. Well, let me start by saying we haven’t lost a single American in this war,” McConnell said. “Most of the money that we spend related to Ukraine is actually spent in the US, replenishing weapons, more modern weapons. So it’s actually employing people here and improving our own military for what may lie ahead.”

I don't have the time for the classic tankie "reply with a wall of text and deflections", I actually have a real job to attend to. But some main points.

This whole "unlike you tAnKiEs I have a job" thing just makes you look insecure and childish.

You know that, right?
