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
Ok, panican.
Peepers are going to cry hard about this.
We should draft anyone who wants war with Russia.
I honestly don’t think President Trump has any intention of putting U.S. troops on the ground.
He was thrown a loaded “back you in a corner” question in front of all of those Euros and he palmed it.
Publicly putting EU and American troops in Ukraine will not stop Russia, it’s just begging to ramp up the death so that we’re all involved. It would idiotic. And I really expect them to do exactly that at some point. Trump has already lost his promised of stopping the fighting in his first week in office. I don’t think Washington will LET him be successful in stopping the war, too many European countries need war as a distraction.
Fine. What happens when the next zJoe Biden comes along?

I hope you’re right. One of my heroes is Ronald Reagan. But one of his few mistakes was putting US troops in Lebanon. Many died as a result. And how are things better there today?
Lebanon and Ukraine are not the same. But they have one thing in common. We have no special interests there. None at all.
I told you on TA, and everybody on here, this countries idiots have grown fond of war.
As long as it is not their kids returning home less limbs or parts of their body gone, it doesnt matter.
It seems they do not pay attention to the adverts for veterans organizations soliciting donations, like wounded warriors.
Untill the people of this country experience it personally, the ignorance will continue.
Just no.
Wish they could smell it... That would get their attention...
The option needs to be strongly opposed every time it is even mentioned period.
I don’t believe for a second Trump is going to agree to put troops on the ground in Ukraine.
That definitely true of some here.
At highest levels of government, many are sociopaths profiting from war with no regard for the value of human life.
No. Just no.
“At highest levels of government, many are sociopaths profiting from war with no regard for the value of human life. “
Yep, absolutely. Even right here on the FR. I suspect most of those supporting war are personally invested in the war machine. They are retired from the agencies and still have residual loyalty or they own stock in the contracting companies who profit from war. Too many used car salesmen around here pushing the war lemons for some reason... And I think it is because of money not patriotism like they claim...
Not to mention our military could wipe Russia and China at the same time

In your mind. It is “ opinions” like yours that stoke wars. Our DOD and Pentagon know a two front war with both China and Russia is a fools game, for many logical reasons.
If there are American peacekeeping troops in Ukraine together with EU troops,
—————-
If there are American peacekeeping troops in Ukraine together with EU troops, they will be destroyed. The US has no strategic interest in Ukraine. Our public will never support US troops in the Ukie toilet, if we did, we would have sent them years ago.
Russia keeps their ethnic Russian provinces, get used to it.
