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.”

    God you’re just… so fucking close to getting it.

    What would have happened if instead of the Russian capitalists privatizing all the people’s assets the western capitalists did?

    Do you think it wouldn’t just be western oligarchs cannibalizing Russia?

      And yet, tankies still defend this corrupt capitalist state just because it’s not the US.

      Nevermind political persecution, assassinations, repression of LGBT people, invasion of neighbouring countries, etc. As long as it’s not the US, it’s all good.
