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.”

    The Balts were immediately used as forward positions for NATO and were allowed to keep their state programs and industry. Belarus got the same treatment as Russia.

    You should probably know the answer to your own snarky questions before you ask them.

      So, what you’re saying is that the countries that sided with the West got a better deal than the ones that became Russian puppets?

        When a country joins the western bloc, they join them.

        When a country joins any other multinational pact, they’re puppets.

        I’m not influenced by western propaganda
