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.”

That's the genesis of the word "tankie", much misused today: they say they are communist, but then advocate for the law of the strongest and can't conceive of an alliance that isn't more than vassalage and sending in the "tanks" against their allies to ensure they don't fall out of line. That's why everyone ran away from the Warsaw Pact when it ended whereas NATO endured.

It's actually appalling how much seething hate they have towards communists
