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.”

Literally no communist thinks Russia is still communist

This is not true. I've talked with people in person at socialist organizations that were claiming that putin was secretly Marxist at the beginning of the invasion. There def are campists who will double down on nonsense.

What organization?

A local marxist-leninist org I know through activist circles. They aren't big or influential and I wouldn't take them to be representative of most self identified socialist political orgs in America. They're fringe.
