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.”

        You sure do like your goalposts…

        I’m pretty sure the US at least is providing weapons in the form of a loan so they are buying their weapons too.

        Also begging for weapons seems a bit more dignified than having your army steal washing machines and build the electronics of your equipment out of those.

          your army steal washing machines and build the electronics of your equipment out of those.

          Wait you still believe that was a real thing? It was projection. Missile and drones don’t need super powerful chips and China makes anything they do need.

          You must not be following the war very closely. Russia is firing dozens of missiles and hundreds of suicide drones every week and the volume keeps rising.
