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.”

    If you speak russian and you want to move to russia and you like daddy putin’s policies, you always could join Russia: they’ll give you a passport and welcome you with open arms, nobody is stopping you, they have plenty of space and can use the manpower.

      why is “leave the place you and yours have lived for countless generations” a preferable option to you? would you see it the same way if this were the choice offered to your city?

        That’s a great thought process, instead of emigrating from Ireland to the UK, ask the UK to invade Ireland so you don’t have to move and can live with your English buddies. Wtf. Respect borders, move if your country allegiance changes
