McConnell on Ukraine proxy war: "We haven’t lost a single American in this war. Most of the money that we spend, is spent on replenishing weapons, so it’s actually employing people here."[paraphrased]
The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.
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 really don't get how evaluating this quote as honest makes one a Russian shill.
It's as if you could either be the good guys or the bad guys, and if the good guys are not so good, then you're justifying the bad guys. This whole thought process makes me feel as if my brain was dying right now.
I mean, it must be pure charity, sending all those armaments etc to Ukraine while happily ignoring lots of other countries invaded over the last 10 years, right?
(I'm definitely not a shill, cause I write this openly from Moscow.)
That's an unwarranted assumption. It's perfectly possible that they are already familiar with your arguments and are uninterested in relitigating the issue with idiots. Certainly that would be my position.
God forbid you organize your thoughts to the point they're coherent. Then you could just have a copypasta ready to go. But for some reason you can't even find one someone else wrote for you.
maybe the only pays for the initial derailing post attempt, not the followup quarter-assed defense of "international rules-based order" that exposes the ignorance and unfamiliarity with material reality.
