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 US isn't making it much harder, it's making it pay.

Indeed, making russia pay for trying to conquer a sovereign country by helping that country defend itself.

This is a little ahistorical.

Wouldn't happen if you didn't try to conquer countries
