White House downplays CNN poll showing majority of Americans oppose more US aid for Ukraine | CNN Politics

The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.

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.”

    Without the US more ukrainians would die and Russia would have overrun them by now and subjugated them into the shitshow they call motherland.

    So it’s a win win.

    Ask Ukrainians which version they prefer - US involvement or not. Oh wait, it’s pretty clear they prefer the kill rabid bear with Himars version.

    The only version they’d like even more is killing bear with ATACMS and F16.

    So fuck off tankie.

      Yeah there’s just one little problem here fam: the US backed a coup there and installed pro-war neo-nazis in power, there was no question about it left to the Ukrainians.

        Well in that case you should support US sending weapons even more, just fascists fighting fascists, right?

          At this point I support the US sending the F-16s tomorrow, yesterday, whenever they want really, it’s not like anything short of nukes or direct NATO involvement has any chance of flipping the current situation around.

          Let’s see those toy planes shot down by Russia’s anti-air and extremely dug-in defenses, I’m sure it’ll do very well for morale in the Ukrainian army and support back at home in the US!
