What are you talking about? If he goes, Ukraine loses an ally.

He's the face of the Republican Party in the Senate and has been behind some really reprehensible actions like stealing a Supreme Court seat, but you are correct that currently he's supportive of Ukraine. I wouldn't expect that to last if Trump or another Russian tool wins the Presidency. He wasn't nicknamed "Moscow Mitch" for no reason.

I am just referencing a nickname not making an actual critical judgment. Its gallows humor and little more.
