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.”

    It would be a neutral country that isn’t in a war. Ukraine and Russia almost negotiated peace back in March last year, then US and UK decided to sabotage it, and Ukraine is in a far worse position today than it was back then. Anybody who thinks US is helping Ukraine needs to get their head checked.

      You’re really sitting there pretending like you know exactly what went on during those negotiations?

        I’m not pretending anything, there was a preliminary document signed and even western media admits that Bojo ran to Ukraine to stop the deal.
