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.”

Fuck russia but do we really need to be supporting a proxy war at the moment? Why is Ukraine so important to us?
Because we promised to help them, and Ukraine deserves independence.
We supply Saudi Arabia with missiles that hit school busses, we should at least also help protect a democracy from being re-colonized.
Putin’s Russia is cruel and exploitative. The best thing we can do as a world leader is help a smaller country stand up for itself.
We’re not a world police and shouldn’t be acting like this and we very suspiciously only help very specific countries enforce their independence
