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.”

No those are Freedom cancer tank shells and freedom child murder bombs

Very different from what our enemies are doing, you see we are doing it, therefore it is good.

That's my impression of what I genuinely believe a conservative sounds like.

I don't think Russia has been using DU munitions. It's not like they're needed for any of the tanks UA has. They have been using cluster bombs, though, because apparently we just can't get anyone to stop that.
