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.”

Hideo Kojima is the creator of the Metal Gear Solid video game franchise. The games have a plot critical of the war economy/racket. I think the original commenter is saying that the games got their criticism of the war economy right, but their depiction of women was sexist and/or oversexualised.
