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.”

    The most important word here is “combined”. Consensus is a really bad condition for winning a war, in my opinion.

    10k people can hold off 500k when they have a giant arsenal of precision guided weapons and complete control of the air.

    Not even then, unless you mean precision guided weapons in similar quantities as late Soviet union had Grad missiles.

    Not arguing that air superiority is very important.
