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.

Yeah, well I’m sure Putin knows that doing so would spread radioactive fall out over much of Europe and that such an act would not go unanswered.
Uncle Harry was a staff officer on Mac’s staff. He would have followed MacArther to hell.
As a teen I read MacArthur’s Reminisces and loved it.
Tons of them bro. Tons of them.
Coons woul d be very glad to send our children to war in order to reduce the populatioj of the middle class.
I do not think Pooty deserves a visit from Captain America. but there is no reason why Pooty can’t be cancelled by a Ukrainian carrying a US made 50 caliber sniper rifle.
Coons is an idiot who let Joe Biden feel up his daughter in public for his own sordid political gain within the swamp. He makes me sick.
Coons and his swamp make us sick , they are so wretchedly low.
TYou bet , Coons would love to see American blood running red in the streets of both Washington and Kiev just as he did for Portland and St. Paul .

What could possibly go wrong?
You know, like before the midterms...
/shiny side out
I’m having an Easter Egg roll today.
Be there...
Depends on what you mean by "come to Ukraine's aid".
There's enough wiggle room in the memorandum to enable Putin to do what he wants, as long as he doesn't use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
See: Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances
U.S. President Clinton, Russian President Yeltsin, and Ukrainian President Kravchuk after signing the Trilateral Statement in Moscow on 14 January 1994.
One must wonder how many bottles of vodka Yeltsin had before shaking hands...
Some of these Dims want to send troops to Alabama and Mississippi like a hundred and fifty years ago, only a few states in the country with a few with surviving freedoms, and the Da**** Democrats want to take those away to.
> Rats were responsible for every War involving the USA since
> after Lincoln and until the Bushes.
Nope, since BEFORE Lincoln. They were responsible for the War Between the States, too.
The democrat party has been destroying life, liberty, and property since its inception in 1828.
Of course that doesn't surprise us...even a little bit.
Maids in waiting wishing he'd play their faces the way he plays piano.
NO WAR FOR OIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Well since it is a Democrat proposing war then...well you know....its ok
I want Russia to lose.
I do not want the US to have boots there.
:)
I’m too old to participate either way.
How many on here will support this?
But then a republican takes office and all of a sudden..not only is war unpopular but it’s the Republicans fault for not getting us out.
I’m willing to bet that if they lobbed a warhead into, say, Poland..The US under the demented guy would NOT respond in kind..our birds will not fly for that
