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

Posted on 04/17/2022 11:31:26 AM PDT by RandFan

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.

Sounds like a plan to lose the war.
Hope so!

👍

John Toland is another author who carefully documented the deception and dirty work around WWII. If you can find any of his books, they are well worth the read.

Ralph Epperson “The Unseen Hand” is the extreme red pill.

You should say, the discredited Powell Doctrine.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4050271/posts?page=91#91

Kevmo to Fury
Do you have a source for that claim?
***I posted one of my sources, someone I knew at the time in the military under his command. And at the time there were other sources in correlation but I don’t feel like playing fetch because I KNEW that one source so, I really don’t care where it goes after that.

And the buck stops with the President, ultimately.
***True. Didn’t you ever wonder why Powell was the front man for all that bullsnot about WMDs?

Kevmo: It is an idiotic test to follow. Would you follow Jimmah Cartah’s test for the US economy? How about obambam’s test for racial equality? You don’t follow FAILUREs and their doctrine.
Fury: We will disagree on if Powell is a failure.
***Then comment on the analogy, the real hypothetical. Do you follow FAILUREs for their doctrine? No.

And that really skirts the question and is a matter of discernment
***Yes I perceive you are skirting the issue.

- what specifically do you object to regarding the Powell Doctrine?
***Its origin. As I have stated. The man is a failure, and his assertions were what caused us to end GW1 prematurely. He deserves scorn, not a following. Look at where he ended up, acting and voting as a democrap. This surprises you?

I also learned the hard way, the majority Republican congress did not want us to go to war against Germany because the Europeans have not even paid us monetary-wise for our involvement in WW1.

Another thing that kills me is that McArthur received the message to ‘stand down’ AND allow the Japs to attack when he had more than 10 submarines ready to sink the carriers at at a moment’s notice. The MESSAGE is shown in the appendix/back pages. All those Americans who were sacrificed
at Bataan and the Death March..

One of my dear friend’s dad was a Marine in the Pacific Theater. His division hated McArthur. They said that when McArthur wasn’t trying to get them killed, he was starving them (no rations, no logistics, they ate a lot of buggy rice left by the Japanese).

Patton was also told to stand down and even back up so that Russia could advance against Germany.
We knew that Russia was communist but our communists in DC wanted to give Russian communists the victory.

War is a racket.

McArthur is the only known US general to BUG OUT and leave his troops to fight to the end. Horatio Gates at Camden was the closest but unlike the drama queen of McArthur.

What bunk. The Republicans were a minority ion Congress yet all voted for War after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Interesting that Admiral Thomas Hart CIC of the Asiatic Fleet never got that message. He was ready and engaged the Japanese and did not lose one ship when the war broke out. Probably one of the most able and knowledgeable commanders we had in the Pacific. He violently disagreed on war strategy was relieved of command. Later became a U.S. Senator after the war. Was never given another sea command during the war. He should have been made CINPAC instead of Nimitz with all the experience he had.

oh yeah. In that plane included were his intelligence and radio team who RECEIVED THE MESSAGE TO STAND DOWN and allow the Japs to invade the Philippines, while the FDR hid the fact that they already deciphered the Japanese code system ...

while telling the American public “nope, we were surprised by the Japs and doggonit, we could not break the code because if we did , we would have defended Pearl Harbor (PUKE) “

"You sound like you are too."

If that is what you are hearing, get your hearing checked.
