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.”

Like half your points are either insane or just provably wrong and there’s an essay for each point. Going over each one separately only to find out the only source is Russian state media is more than a little demotivating, especially on my phone, when arguing with people like you.
Like the NATO offensive war part: the only one that would be an offensive war is the Serbian one and all the others listed are definitely not offensive wars initiated by NATO.
And then there’s the insane claims like Russia could win if they just wanted to, Russia has total air superiority since the start of the war, Ukraine military is run by nazies, NATO members join by being threatened by NATO. There are probably others I’m forgetting. The only people saying something that batshit is Russian state media and their strategy has been to overwhelm you with bullshit to debunk so either you are get all your bullshit there or you are a professional and I’m not going to waste my time with playing whack the Russian propaganda.
Interesting that you proved none of them wrong and just said made-up nonsense in response then, isn’t it?
And now you’re just lying. So pitiful.
You are 100% incorrect and I invite you to spend literally any amount of time learning about NATO’s involvement in both Libya and Afghanistan. If you were a student I’d having a talk with your parents because you keep making things up rather than reading and learning.
Maybe you don’t know how to find information? Put the words “Libya” “NATO” and “bomb”, read the results, ask yourself if NATO was defending lol.
Yes obviously. Only gullible people think otherwise. Military folks expected RF to immediately curbstomp Ukraine because they thought RF would use the tactics of, dare I say, NATO countries and just bomb everything war crimes style. RF chose a very different tactic. I know you don’t know why they did that, but you should do yourself a favor and read about it.
A basic fact. RF bombed UA airfields right off the bat and UA has had very little air presence while RF does basically whatever it wants outside of manpad resustence. You are free to go spend any amount of time learning these basic facts.
Actually I didn’t say that, though you csn tell the military is run by people in that neighborhood based on their statements. Remember when the UA MoD endorsed calling Chechens orcs and dipping bullets in lard? Of course you don’t, you haven’t paid attention. But you are free to review the extent to which Nazis have been incorporated into UA’s military both formally and informally.
I didn’t say that either. In UA’s case it was less a threat than a coup, though UA isn’t joining NATO soon anyways.
And now we return to your habit of, “everything I don’t know is Russian propaganda”. Like I said before, my sources are Western and Ukrainian. At no point in this conversation have you asked a question, sought information, or demonstrated knowledge of anything I’m talking about. But you have repeated some confused poorly-remembered talking points and seem to be very comfortable with lying when you don’t know something.
Work on that, buddy. I don’t think I should have to tell you that lying is bad.
Just another essay straight from RT. I’m as interested of learning about Russia from tankies as I am about learning of the holocaust from neonazies.
Baltic double-Holocaust! Bingo!
Ask your mommy if lying is bad
