Report: Defense Secretary Warned Congress U.S. Troops Could Be Deployed If Ukraine Aid Is Not Sent

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Congress on Tuesday during a private briefing that if they do not pass more aid to Ukraine, it would “very likely” lead to U.S. troops fighting a war in Europe.

“If [Vladimir] Putin takes over Ukraine, he’ll get Moldova, Georgia, then maybe the Baltics,” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) told The Messenger, after Austin and other senior Biden administration officials briefed House lawmakers on their request for more aid for Ukraine.

“And then the idea that we’ll have to put troops on the ground in Secretary Austin’s word was very likely,” McCaul added. “That’s what we’re trying to avoid.”

The Messenger reported that the warning “did little” to win over Republican skeptics, who oppose more aid to Ukraine without more accountability and transparency on how it will help Ukraine.

What is the national security threat to the American people that would justify sending Americans to die in the Ukraine, the old communist Bogey Man? Well that's just not valid anymore, the communists are already in charge in America they just haven't pulled off the 'socialist' mask yet. I don't believe Americans will stand for their children dying in Ukraine nor do I believe that American men and women will suddenly start enlisting for such a cause, it will definitely cause a huge backlash for democrats at the ballot box.

The Baltics are NATO members ... Ukraine and Moldova are not NATO members ... membership has its privileges.

It's time to get out of NATO.

Let Europe defend Europe.

FWIW, we are running budget deficits of 200 Billion per month, $2,500,000,000,000.00 per year! The defense budget will be cut along with a lot of other depts in the near future. Why not just start bringing our troops home now.

I couldn't agree more.

Want to give Mr. Trump a winning campaign issue -- perhaps even amongst the young?
