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.”

    should I take this to mean you recant your earlier statement about the Ukranian separatists being plants?

      We shouldn’t entertain myopic worldviews like everyone is a plant even though we know of some

      We can assume good out of most and be critical of bullshit. Also helpful advice for avoiding misunderstandings :)

        I’ll take that as a no. expecting liberals to refrain from dehumanizing people is just too much, I guess.

          Check my edit. It seems you are misunderstanding or assuming something others can’t know about

              engage with people as people and acknowledge that they very frequently have needs, wants, and desires that cut against your myopic worldview.

              This you?
