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.”

This is too simplistic. Just stop. That's not how geopolitics works. The lines on the map aren't real and don't mean anything. Christ Liberals and their profound inability to understand the nature of power.

I'm a liberal? "Liberal" is just a word and all words are made up. They don't mean anything.

If words have no meaning, then how are you communicating with people in this comment section right now?

Woah, you just justified that any conversation doesn't mean anything,congrats

And they just justified any invasion by declaring that boarders are imaginary, so they didn't matter. Guess what? Both words and boarders are imaginary, but they still matter.
