Senate Democrat Says U.S. Needs to Discuss Sending Troops to Ukraine: ‘Putin Will Only Stop When We Stop Him’
mediaite ^ | Apr 17th, | By Joe DePaolo

A Senate Democrat said that the U.S. needs to discuss sending American troops to Ukraine — arguing that Vladimir Putin “will only stop when we stop him.”

Appearing on Face the Nation Sunday, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) was confronted by CBS’s Margaret Brennan about comments he made earlier in the week in which he argued the U.S. needs to figure out when it would be willing to send armed forces to Ukraine.

“We are in a very dangerous moment where it is important that on a bipartisan and measured way we in Congress and the administration come to a common position about when we are willing to go the next step and to send not just arms but troops to the aid in defense of Ukraine,” Coons said. “If the answer is never then we are inviting another level of escalation in brutality by Putin.”

Brennan asked Coons, “Are you arguing that President Biden was wrong when he said he would not send troops to Ukraine? Are you asking him to set a red line?”

The senator praised Biden’s “steady and constructive leadership,” but called for the U.S. to stand “more forcefully” behind Ukraine.

Forgive me as I'm probably young compared to most Freepers but I'm told that the Democrat Party were always the pro-war party ...

True?

One day, I tallied up the combat actions/wars the US has been in. A Democrat president was in charge for the majority of them.

The Democrats scored big in Vietnam.

BTW.....if Republican’s back the notion of sending troops to Ukraine, they will have fallen for the bait of the Democrats. This wag the dog gambit is so obvious but the necon’s including Graham and his boy Hannity will bite on this.

Dems are coming up with a way to create war and chaos to either make it easier to manipulate elections or suspend them all together, in order to stay in power.

Sen. Chris Coons should volunteer to be the first one to go to the Ukraine. Then after a couple of weeks fighting, he can let us know if it was a wise decision.

“arguing that Vladimir Putin ‘will only stop when we stop him.’”

What about the criminals in congress? When will they stop?

Or the FBI, addicted to false flags, when will they stop?

The US and NATO should tell Putin that under the Budapest Memorandum, we are obligated to come to Ukraine’s aid.

That we will continue providing Ukraine with weapons for their self defense. And that If Ukraine is not successful at defending their country with the weapons we are providing, then we will either get directly involved to defend the Ukrainian territory OR provide Ukraine with nuclear missiles to replace those they gave up.

Putin would poot his pants.
