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.”

Well at least not in Ukraine. I'm sure we are committing some war crimes quietly somewhere else. Seems like we can't stop doing that.

I agree with your comment by the way, I'm just further shitting down that argument as well.

We know our government sucks. We're working on making it work the way it was supposed to. Section 1983 has to be rectified.
