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.”

God forbid you organize your thoughts to the point they're coherent. Then you could just have a copypasta ready to go. But for some reason you can't even find one someone else wrote for you.

maybe the fedposting only pays for the initial derailing post attempt, not the followup quarter-assed defense of "international rules-based order" that exposes the ignorance and unfamiliarity with material reality.

The agent is forbidden from reading any response, otherwise he might develop a conscience or worse, self awareness.
