What is the quote?
“If he keeps going and then he attacks a NATO Ally — well, we’ve committed as a NATO member that we’d defend every inch of NATO territory — then we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops.”
Invading NATO countries was not part of the Russians’ reason for the special military operation.
The administration is probably trying to scare Congress into spending more money we don’t have (10% for the Big Guy).
What is the quote:
“President Joe Biden echoed the warnings of his defense secretary in an address to the public this week, saying if Congress does not pass $64 billion in aid to Ukraine, U.S. troops will end up fighting Russia in Europe.”
Likely nowhere.
But the Ukes should never have given up their nukes post Soviet breakup. AND, the West should not have told them their security was guaranteed by them if they gave them up.
At this point, demographics say the Ukeswill like to a Russia determined to stay in for the long haul. Numbers are numbers.
The West is unwilling to upend their economies to crash manufacture weapons the Ukes need, esp. Artillery shells. And the Ukes don’t have the manpower to go toe to toe.
I think it would be better to re arm the Ukes with sufficient nuclear weapons to destroy Russia and let THEM do a Mexican standoff with Putkn and see who blinks first.
Change my mind?
Once again if you read the quote he simply did not say it.
As with Lloyd Austin, he predicted that if Putin is not stopped he will eventually attack a NATO country and that would require American involvement.
This whole isolationist thing is leading America and the republican party into a disaster.
But they did NOT threaten to send in American troops if funding is denied and that is clear to anyone reading the quotes.
It’s simply a dishonest argument.
It’s pathetic that so many here on FR jump to conclusions without having clue one about what was actually said. Talk about useless idiots; they are doing Russia’s bidding without batting an eye.
Tell me ONE way President Sniffer and his whore monger tax cheating son and all the thugs and goons in DC who steal from taxpayers and covered for Biden crimes are better than Putin?
“If he keeps going and then he attacks a NATO Ally — well, we’ve committed as a NATO member that we’d defend every inch of NATO territory — then we’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops.”
In the end, a ridiculous assertion tied to funding UKR so they’ll keep their mouth shut about Biden family corruption there, IMO.
