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.”

Yes they do. They’ll “regret” the wars, but they’ll never denounce the soldiers or commanders in charge. During the initial weeks/months of the Ukrainian invasion, Biden AWARDED Vietnam war vets. He later went on to “denounce imperialism” at a UN conference.
