Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said in an interview on “Full Court Press with Greta Van Susteren” that will air on Sunday that putting U.S. troops in Ukraine shouldn’t be completely off the table.
“You should always keep all your options open … I don't think you should ever take it off the table,” Scott said in response to a question on whether he’d ever support the U.S. sending troops to Ukraine.
The Biden administration has said there are no plans to send American troops into Ukraine as the U.S. has deployed thousands of troops to Eastern Europe both in the lead-up to and following Russia's invasion of its neighboring country.

It should be 100% off the table
NO. Let Europe step up to the plate.
Can we take Rick Scott off the table and throw him off a cliff?
Send your kid Rick.
Hey, we haven’t had a good war since Biden was vice president, so let’s go for it, dude.
Heck no, we won’t go.
dumb, dumb, dumbdumbdumb.
And foolish.
Under Biden, it’s off the table. Americans don’t go die so that Biden can buy Russian oil.
The thing is, you NEVER commit one way or another when confronted with such crises; it limits your options and restricts your negotiations.
Insanity.
Obama sent US troops to Ukraine. WW3 didn’t start. Brandon’s weakness invited Putin’s aggression.
Joe Biden just got us into a Nuclear war. Scott needs to stand down.
The land war is over. Keep it up if you want to start trading nuke for nuke.....
“The thing is, you NEVER commit one way or another when confronted with such crises; it limits your options and restricts your negotiations.”
Of course. What you actually do is another matter.
Bingo!
In private, absolutely. in public, no. No reason to let your opponent know what you will and won’t do. I think that is the reason behind Rick Scott’s statement.
You NEVER take anything “off the table” when dealing with despots and that includes nuclear weapons!
The Republicans have been told to even the field in 2022
“What you actually do is another matter.”
It was ever thus.
