President Trump on Monday did not rule out sending U.S. troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force if a potential peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow can be reached. “We’ll let you know that, maybe later today,” Mr. Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Mr. Trump’s refusal to rule out the idea of U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine is a potential major shift in his policy towards Ukraine as the war-torn nation considers security guarantees to be essential for any peace agreement. Mr. Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to seek an end to the war.

No no no no no. No more forever wars.
Withdraw from NATO. Our "allies" are not free countries and want us dead.
Trade with Europe maybe, but that's it.
It’s quite obvious armchair warmongers don’t want a “peace deal” that includes security guarantees for Ukraine. Obviously, because they want more war and mass murder. They really need another hobby.
Deploy 100,000 French Surrender Monkeys to YouCrayne.
This is a three year solution.
*************
True. After 3.5 years, manpower and munitions production is broken.
Can’t fight a war without both.
Hence, the armstice that is about to happen with both parties planning to regroup both manpower & munitions in the future.
We are not the world’s policeman.
The Ukraine problem is an EU problem. Let them handle it. Trump can act as a mediator. But no troops, please.
There must be some serious shit (which “the rest of us” are totally unaware of) going on in Ukraine for POTUS not to give an immediate and un-qualified refutation of such an insane notion!
Ok explain their logistics to me, please . They can not force project past their own borders. Not to mention our military could wipe Russia and China at the same time. They have a total of 2-300 j20 fighters. They are purely air to air and less “stealthy” than an F22. The Russian Air Force fighters are worse off. Chinese j20 pilots are more afraid of losing through a mistake than free thinking. The F22 and 30 would establish air dominance and then the F15s could wipe any ground forces out. We actually have combat pilots, probably some on here who might correct me, please be kind. I admittedly am nearly 50 so I have more memories than dreams but I have every confidence this is a fight that neither could win.
You know what else he didn't rule out? He didn’t rule out putting in a pirate outfit and fight the battles with his teeth.
See how it is done?
Here is what he said on Truth:
“ …which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with coordination with the United States of America.”
If anyone would bother reading Trump’s latest message he does NOT mention any troops on the ground in Ukraine, he talks about coordinating with Europe to ensure that they keep Ukraine safe, no where does he mention one peep about boots on the ground, that is NOT gonna happen
Kinda like old times, but choosing up sides differently.
Moving a base to Ukraine is hardly equivalent to actually joining a war. This was a gotch question today during the press conference with Z sitting right there. The left trying to sabotage the process, so Trump gave a rational maybe to avoid fall out.
Congratulations.
Your dream of US troops dying for Ukraine may come to fruition.
The EUSSR, including your country France, should be doing the fighting and paying for the war. Not the US.
America First. Ukraine Last.
“Chamberlainism”.
Inaccurate and deceptive comparison. Russia is not directly attacking the US like Hitler was Briton. Completely different circumstances altogether.
Boots on the ground in Ukraine was NOT a campaign promise.
What a headline!
Trump hasn’t ruled in US troops in Ukraine either.
To the contrary.
EU troops are the “ruled in” troops.
Italy is balking of course.
“Moving a base to Ukraine is hardly equivalent to actually joining a war.”
So do you actually think Putin or his successors will think the same?
Absolutely not. Boots on the Ground in the Ukraine is joining the war against them...
How sad some want more endless war, misery and death rather than a “peace deal” with security guarantees.
“Boots on the ground in Ukraine was NOT a campaign promise.”
Absolutely not... But “End the Wars! America First!” was indeed...
The psyops perspective twisters are at it again.
I would encourage my Congressman to initiate Impeachment proceedings if he does so.
Peacekeepers???
Not no but hell no!!
