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.”

    Because the Black Sea Fleet is station in Sevastopol and Sevastopol is a vital strategic resource? Are we speaking the same language?

    So if the US has a fleet statinoned in another contry’s territory, should they just be allowed to take it?

    Non-sequitor?

    What don’t you follow?

    Do you also support US-backed countries to take territory as they see fit? Or does that only apply to countries you like?

    Okay so you know that UA was shelling Donbass and killing people for years, and the Rada was very openly hostile to the Russian speaking Ukrainian minority, right?

    A Russian-backed separatist group starts a conflict and Ukraine responds.

    Does Ukraine not have the right to defend their territory?

    Could I get a sticker instead?

    You can get some crayons to munch on.
