Trump 'Assures' No US Boots On Ground To Enforce A Peace Deal In Ukraine

President Trump has made it clear that he will not send American troops to enforce a possible peace agreement in Ukraine centered on 'security guarantees' - despite having appeared possibly open to the idea just a day earlier.

In a phone interview on Fox News Tuesday morning, Trump was asked what assurances he could offer that American forces wouldn't end up defending Ukraine's borders, and beyond his time in office. The question was based on his campaign and opening months in office - when he repeatedly vowed no more boots on the ground in entangling conflicts abroad.

"You have my assurance, and I’m president," Trump responded. European leaders are pressing for the strongest possible security guarantees for Ukraine, to ensure it can never be attacked in the future, once a peace settlement is reached.

A White House official additionally confirmed on Tuesday that Trump has definitively ruled out deploying US ground forces to Ukraine, according to CNN.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Every time the US indulges itself with isolationism not ten years pass ere we are embroiled in war.

Standing against a resurgent Soviet Union in Ukraine means not having to confront them elsewhere, like Alaska, Normandy, or Greenland.

Oh, please --- get over yourself, Boomer.  These inbred warmongers have been fighting each other for centuries.  We've nothing to do with it, one way or the other.  If we keep embroiling ourselves in their sh!t, we're just stupid.

Let Europe fight themselves senseless ---- it completes them, and frees us from wasting any more of our time, blood and treasure.

No boots.  What about sandals, sneakers, or flip-flops?

When Putin attacks & invades Ukraine again in a few years, and kills or takes prisoner all those American mining workers and executives extracting the rare earths, you might want to recall this conversation ...

Outside the Box Thinking:  Why doesn't Ukraine invade Belarus and seize their territory?

Well, you should join with your EU cousins, snap out of it, step up to the plate and take care of this now @Canuck Conservative   The US is passing the torch to the warmongering inbreds. ---- Godspeed.

BTW, when a Canadian tries to scare an American, we laugh.  Just thought you should know.

One war at a time.

The now famous pledge by 47 is a guarantee that, if the security force is without US troops, it is totally worthless.

US troops are NATO. Putin would think twice about killing a US troop, but all others are just targets of opportunity with no consequences attached. Proving once again that 47 is the TACO President who refuses to put his mouth where his money is.
