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.”

Why no one ever mentions Czechia? They literally had a summit about our country where we kinda weren't invited and decided that yeah, Hitler can take huge parts of Czechia, because that will surely stop him from expanding. Because it's usually the case - when something is very easy and costs you close to nothing, you immediately stop because you've had enough, right?
