Will Your Sons and Daughters Fight in Central Europe? COMMENTARY By Shea Bradley-FarrellDecember 21, 2023 Will Your Sons and Daughters Fight in Central Europe?AP Who bears the responsibility for the war in Ukraine? According to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, members of U.S. Congress, and even U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, it is the American people.
Recently, Secretary Austin told America that if Congress fails to pass another $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, it will “most likely” result in American troops fighting in Europe. The additional aid to Ukraine has been stalled by members of Congress who want assurances that our own U.S. southern border will be protected first. According to the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. has already provided Ukraine with our largest foreign assistance package in Europe since the Marshall Plan at the end of World War II.
Congress is right (and long overdue) to fight to secure our own border, yet Zelensky had the audacity to warn the American people that our “unresolved issues on Capitol Hill” inspire Putin to continue the war. How dare he? The U.S. is by far the largest donor of money and weapons to his country, and much like U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, counseling Zelensky in the wisdom of “gratitude,” told him – we are not Zelensky’s “Amazon delivery service.”
Why should America be the main bearer of this war? As often as Mike Pence, Niki Haley, and other war hawks in D.C. ambiguously claim that Putin’s next move is to take over NATO countries, don’t believe it. Putin cannot consolidate a victory in four eastern Ukrainian provinces – how could he possibly launch an armored assault through the fabled Fulda Gap? It is preposterous.
In addition, Putin does not want to turn 31 (NATO) countries against him.

Support the democRAT money laundering scheme in Ukraine or your children will fight in WWIII.
This is not to say American troops will be used in Ukraine, Austin's (faulty) prediction is that if Russia wins in Ukraine they'll be sure to attack a NATO country, which we'll be under treaty obligation to defend.
I don't Putin is that stupid, nor has he the firepower and strength to do so.
The Ukraine war will still go on with uprising and guerrilla tactics long after Russia "wins". They'll have their hands full for decades.
No
The Russians know how to handle terrorists.
If the US would just get out of the business of international military adventures, we could be a rich country again.
Let Europe deal with Europe.
Let the Middle East deal with the Middle East.
My grandchildren will be eyed up as fodder for the ruling class. It hurts me, but I’ve done all I can do to alert the morons around me. Now, I’m doomed to watch it all happen.
I think there are already US troops in Ukraine.
What would the CIA do then?
We are down to threats and blackmail now. “Support this war or we’ll kill your kids.”
It won’t be “America troops.” It will be Joe Pedo’s imported illegal aliens.
Will Your Sons and Daughters Fight in Central Europe?
—
Definitely YES, if the GOP and assorted parsimonious curmudgeons have their way in Congress by cutting off military aid to Ukraine.
We need to conscript the blood relatives between the age of 17-35 of Every Last Federal Employee in America to go Fight these wars. YOUR FAMILY FIRST
Russia is a superpower.
Like the US in WW2, it will get stronger the longer the war continues.
I predict that the "Sons And Daughters" are going be far to busy right here in the "Good Old USA" to be worried Europe..
I am reading Margaret Truman’s biography of her Dad, Harry. He got us into all this, altho after WW2 you can see why. Problem is, it appears they (Europe) never weaned themselves from the US $$$.
“The Ukraine war will still go on with uprising and guerrilla tactics long after Russia “wins”. They’ll have their hands full for decades.”
You do not have an operating cell phone on you. Law requires persons over 12 years of age or 1.5 meters in height to always carry a working cell phone when not on the property wherein they officially reside.
” it will “most likely” result in American troops fighting in Europe “
To save the EU from their own fecklessness and unwillingness to defend themselves?
Oh....don’t think so
Buy hey, if Village Big Man Austin wants to get a couple
million of his homeys to go over there and fight the Varangian berserkers and their Mongol Horde allies, be my guest. One caveat: you can’t use up the weapons we paid for to defend ourselves. Take native African technology to fight Putin’s really groovy ‘70s weapons. Should be almost a fair fight.
