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.

And neo-cons, Fox News “conservatives” who can’t stop worshipping Zelenski, and everyone at CNN and MSNBC. And Mitt Romney.
The foreign invasion of our southern border will only stop when we stop it. You for that too Chris?
Yeah right.
I imagine the dems will try to institute another draft for their war.
I also imagine a lot of draft dodgers.
The ONLY reason a Democrat would be so willing to risk WW3 is that something in Ukraine scares the hell out of them... Will be interesting to find out what that is.
I think 🤔 we have some Biden Republicans who will take up the troops challenge! Let’s do this!!!!
The Senator has many fellow travelers on Free Republic.
Was it Kinzinger, the assistant Democrat?
Wow!
Pretty telling...
Hmm, let's see:
WWI - Wilson Dem
WWII FRD Dem
Korea - Truman Dem
Vietnam - Kennedy/Johnson Dems
Well that would be all of the major conflicts of the 20th century - notice a pattern?
“I despise these anti-American scum.”
Neoconservatives are bipartisan.
Give it a rest, Danny.
2 wars for 20 years just isn’t enough for the US...
“The US and NATO should tell Putin that under the Budapest Memorandum, we are obligated to come to Ukraine’s aid.”
We are not.
And only stupid people believe we are.
Or, should. Or, would.
Stop him in a Russian ground war? As if. You’ll just get American boys killed.
He’s too old. However he can have his molested daughter enlist to fight...
He’s definitely the type of dirtbag who pimps his own daughter out.
Your idea is f’ing terrible.
That is crazy it cant just be a coincidence...
Coons is a loon....
