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.”

can you see how if you were living in those cities and multiple peace treaties were violated, that you might prefer joining the larger power that speaks your language to remaining at the mercy of death squads that howl for your blood?
If you speak russian and you want to move to russia and you like daddy putin’s policies, you always could join Russia: they’ll give you a passport and welcome you with open arms, nobody is stopping you, they have plenty of space and can use the manpower.
why is “leave the place you and yours have lived for countless generations” a preferable option to you? would you see it the same way if this were the choice offered to your city?
That’s a great thought process, instead of emigrating from Ireland to the UK, ask the UK to invade Ireland so you don’t have to move and can live with your English buddies. Wtf. Respect borders, move if your country allegiance changes
What are you even on, dude? There wasn’t hard border between Russia and Ukraine for Ukraine’s entire existence as a state until the destruction of the USSR. People should flee when their own country decides to kill them? That is actual, real, literal ethnic cleansing and/or genocide?
Are you seriously saying that all the Russian speaking Ukrainians should have fled Ukraine when the Rada started sending death squads in to the Donbass? Are you really saying that?:
lmao taking the side of the Brits over the IRA is a fucking amazing take. Tiocfaidh ár lá

it is, isn’t it? That’s what russian speakers are doing, this just keeps getting better and better.
it’s literally the opposite. they’re in the position of Northern Ireland, in this analogy.
Nah, I was talking about Ireland, the country.
it’s a real conflict you knob. the actual history is exactly the opposite and it’s a great fucking analogy that’s going straight over your head.
