Senate Intel Chair Warner: US forces could be ‘in combat’ if Congress doesn't OK $61B in Ukraine aid

Democrat Sen. Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is warning that U.S. forces could be “in combat” if Congress fails to pass $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.

"Ukrainians in two years have been really remarkable," Warner said on a press call Thursday. "They've literally destroyed 87%. Russia's pre-existing ground forces have either been killed or wounded or are basically out of the conflict, and now the world is waiting to see whether the United States is going to honor its commitment to Ukraine."

The Virginia lawmaker said he "fears" that if the U.S. doesn't pass additional war funding for Ukraine, Russia leader Vladimir Putin will win his war against Ukraine and move on to invade other countries.

"Not only will Putin win, but I fear that American troops could be in conflict within two to three years because Putin will not stop at Ukraine's border," he said. 

He argued that the U.S. must help Ukraine stop Putin's advance now or U.S. forces could be dragged into a conflict that could require boots on the ground.

"Those adjacent nations — Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland — are all members of NATO. We have a solemn treaty obligation to defend those nations, and we could have Americans in harm's way or in combat if we don't stop Putin now in Ukraine," he said. "We could have Americans in harm's way or in combat if we don't stop Putin now in Ukraine," Warner added.

The Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid package that covers Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and humanitarian efforts in Gaza. The House has not voted on the bill yet.

I remember one of our Pentagon predicting that the Russians would occupy Kyiv in 72 hours. That was two years ago. What happened??

Someone other than Congress is authorizing combat against a nation which has not attacked the US.

Even if the War Powers Act were Constitutional (which it obviously isn’t), under what theory is this even possible?

The US has no commitment to the Ukraine. The Ukraine ia not our ally. The Ukraine is not our friend.

If we ever learned how much was REALLY funneled back to US politicians, it would be greater than our wildest imaginations.

Those were the same guys who said not to worry about the final Taliban offensive. It would take the Taliban months to reach Kabul. So no worries!

A few days later Kabul fell.

Perhaps we should outsource our intelligence gathering to gypsy fortune tellers. They would be cheaper and probably more accurate.

The Ukraine, controlled by the CIA since 2014, participated in the coup against President Trump with Zelensky and “whistleblower” Col. Vindman, a Ukranian born U.S. military officer that was twice offered the position of the Ukraine’s Minister of Defense. Why did CIA controlled Ukraine offer this plum position to an American military officer?
