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.”

And tankies love it when America invades another country because that country didn’t democracy correctly.
I don’t support Russia invading, just so we’re clear. I can just see the rational progression of events from A to Z
Why do you think Russia invaded? Cuz Russia bad? lol
Ukraine is literally on Russia’s boarder, and Russia is not even a regional empire - it’s a jumped up gas station. Russia is vulnerable and knows it, so it lashes out like any animal backed into a corner. Now we have another forever war, this time in Europe.
Then why are you using Russia’s talking points?
Do you agree there is a difference between “reasons” and “justifications”?
I think Russia’s reasons for invading are real and must acknowledged to end the war. I don’t think those reasons justify the war.
Get it?
