“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.”

In the liberal imagination, history started this morning, every morning, unfortunately. Historical context is practically irrelevant to them once they've been told which side to pick.

I'm fairly sure that if you asked Ukrainians, there'd be a clear victory for 'please can everyone stop aiming RPGs at my grandma's house and my son's school?' although I'd expect regional split in the answers. The only people who root for war like this are (if there's a difference between them) psychopaths, liberals who are far from the frontlines, and fascists.
