Biden: Sending US troops to Ukraine 'not on the table'
The Hill ^ | 12/08/2021 | MORGAN CHALFANT

President Biden on Wednesday said the United States is not considering sending troops to Ukraine amid rising fears about the possibility of a Russian military invasion.

“That is not on the table,” Biden told reporters at the White House before departing for a trip to Kansas City, Mo.

“We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to our NATO allies if they were to attack under Article 5, it’s a sacred obligation. That obligation does not extend to … Ukraine,” he added.

Guy is an idiot. Nato Article 5 is about coming to the aid of allies if they are attacked. Not if they attack someone else. ‘Sacred obligation” my a&&.

Trump wouldn’t say one way or another. Keep Putin guessing.

Biden is a coward except when is comes to using the entire power of the federal govt on American citizens.

But, we have no business intervening in the Ukraine. Fighting Russia there is madness. Russia is not going to give up access to its naval base at Sevastapol, it’s only warm water port. Never. It will go nuclear if it has to. Antagonizing Russia over this is beyond foolhardy. But then RATs are chronically and devastatingly incompetent so anything could happen.

Agreed. Never say something is "not on the table", whether it is or is not.

I have to agree (first time) with Biden.
Send U.S. troops to fight the Russians?

WWIII anyone?

Send arms, logistical support, medical supplies yes.
U.S Troops? How many will be killed? For what?

As someone who was in-country in Vietnam, I say no way.

Seems reminiscent of Dean Acheson’s speech in which he indicated that Korea was not within the defensive perimeter of the US. That gave a green light for the opening of the Korean Conflict, since the communists were confident that the US would not get involved.

But, we did get involved in Korea.
