The White House on Wednesday downplayed CNN polling showing most Americans oppose Congress providing additional funding to support Ukraine in its war with Russia ahead of a reported administration request for more aid.

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.”

      Sure but that’s like 50-60% of western populations and 36% of global so. Not sure about america specifically but I know the european figure off the top of my head and it’s 51%, my gut assumption would be the US is higher?

        It’s very high everywhere, though my understanding is a lot of people game on their phones, like more than 50%, and it’s been a while since there was a mobile MGS game.
