McConnell on Ukraine proxy war: "We haven’t lost a single American in this war. Most of the money that we spend, is spent on replenishing weapons, so it’s actually employing people here."[paraphrased]
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.”

LMAO, libs on their way to analyze geopolitics: https://piped.projectsegfau.lt/watch?v=L2quonm59Kc
Let's go over some facts we can source from Western sources:
-
Russia is outperforming every single EU economy except for Spain
-
Russia is firing 40 to 50 thousand artillery shells A DAY while the United States can only produce 30 thousand A MONTH, which allows Ukraine to fire about 4000 to 5000 in comparison. Russia is able to fire IN A SINGLE DAY what the United States takes A MONTH to produce, got it?
-
The so hyped Ukrainian "counteroffensive" has been going on for THREE MONTHS and they haven't even been able to breach the first line of Russian defenses, let alone produce any gains to justify all the equipment and men they wasted
The plan to isolate and crash Russia's economy failed, so did the plan to send Ukraine garbage Western equipment without proper training while expecting miraculous results from offensives that do not posses air support and are outgunned 10 to 1 in artillery, I'm not so sure if "shithole" and "western dominance" are words that correctly describe Russia's situation here.
I love seeing "aggressively LGBTQ inclusive" tankies bend over backwards to support a literal homophobic fascist dictatorship and parrot their talking points.
