Top Dem senator suggests U.S. troops will be on the front lines if Ukraine doesn’t get its billions
February 17, 2024 | Vivek Saxena
Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat, is facing explosive backlash for suggesting that U.S. troops will be sent to the front lines in Ukraine or elsewhere unless Congress does what he wants.
What he wants, of course, is for the Republican-led House to pass a $95 billion foreign aid package that’d bless Ukraine with billions in additional aid.
“In the next front against Russia, it will be Americans on the front lines,” he said Friday at the Munich Security Conference, according to CNBC.
“We are best off investing in the Ukrainians who are fighting bravely for their own freedom than allowing [Russian President Vladimir] Putin the opportunity to spread further chaos and violence across Europe,” he added.
He believes without evidence that if Ukraine were to fall to Russia, Russian President Vladimir Putin would then pursue invasions of other countries like Poland, Finland, etc.
“If we don’t stop Putin in Ukraine, he will next be attacking NATO allies of the United States,” he explained.
Responding to his remarks, critics rushed to urge him to send his own children off to war first.
