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.)
