Democrat Sen. Mark Warner, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is warning that U.S. forces could be “in combat” if Congress fails to pass $61 billion in aid to Ukraine.
"Ukrainians in two years have been really remarkable," Warner said on a press call Thursday. "They've literally destroyed 87%. Russia's pre-existing ground forces have either been killed or wounded or are basically out of the conflict, and now the world is waiting to see whether the United States is going to honor its commitment to Ukraine."
The Virginia lawmaker said he "fears" that if the U.S. doesn't pass additional war funding for Ukraine, Russia leader Vladimir Putin will win his war against Ukraine and move on to invade other countries.
"Not only will Putin win, but I fear that American troops could be in conflict within two to three years because Putin will not stop at Ukraine's border," he said.
He argued that the U.S. must help Ukraine stop Putin's advance now or U.S. forces could be dragged into a conflict that could require boots on the ground.
"Those adjacent nations — Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland — are all members of NATO. We have a solemn treaty obligation to defend those nations, and we could have Americans in harm's way or in combat if we don't stop Putin now in Ukraine," he said. "We could have Americans in harm's way or in combat if we don't stop Putin now in Ukraine," Warner added.

How did my comment lead you to believe that Biden is somehow my hero? Boy, are you barking up the wrong tree! My comment was intended to point out that apparently people high in our military really had no idea of the likely outcome of this conflict. That is, if the general’s comment was really what he thought. We are still no better off now, two years later.
Too bad they can’t come up with a catchy phrase like” The Domino Effect”, except now all the communists we swore to wipe out are running things in DC.
No more money for Ukraine or Israel until you halt illegal immigration and begin deporting the invaders
Is he depending on the same Intel Agencies that proclaimed Hunter’s Laptop was Russian Disinformation?
>>>
There is no way they could take on any NATO country

France just chickened out.
CIA dishonesty can be found at least as far back as the Gulf of Tonkin (genesis of VN action and USS Pueblo). Long record of dishonesty to Americans.
Serious questions Mark Warner and every supporter of this must answer: Assume the US passed all desired Ukraine funding today. One year hence, will the war be over? Which side will have won? What will the casualty figures be? Same questions for two years? Three years? Ten years? What is the end game?
“Senate Intel Chair Warner: US forces could be ‘in combat’ if Congress doesn’t OK $61B in Ukraine aid”
They already are...it’s NO SECRET.
