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.”

Ugh that line of thinking is fucking despicable. 'helping' my ass. Enabling thousand of deaths through blowing up peace treaties sure as shit isn't 'helping', neither is sending thousands of Ukrainian conscripts to their deaths only to realise counter insurgency taxtics don't work against heavily defended positions. The only one you're helping with your current line of thought is the defense industry, filling pockets to the tune of billions, getting richer and richer while standing on a pile Ukrainian bodies. And you're here fuckin cheering that on. Gullible LIB like you are the problem.
