Mike Pence Says US Troops May Have to Fight If Ukraine Doesn't Repel Russia
Epoch Times ^ | 9/15/23 | Ryan Morgan

Former Vice President Mike Pence warned this week that if Russian forces are not repelled in Ukraine, U.S. military service members may have to step up to the fight.

"I’m convinced that if the Ukrainian military doesn’t stop and repel that Russian invasion, it’s not going to be too long before that Russian army crosses a border that our men and women in uniform are going to have to go and fight under our NATO Treaty," Mr. Pence said during a town hall-style interview with NewsNation on Wednesday. "I truly believe it. Whether that's Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, ... Poland, I don't know."

Mr. Pence, who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, made those remarks in an extended response to a question about how he would end the war in Ukraine if he is elected.

The GOPe really, really, really wants U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine. It appears they want the war to escalate and are pushing for more U.S. involvement, and of course, more money sent to Ukraine.

Pence has zero chance of being elected President but his stance is the same as all other GOP candidates with the exception of Trump (and maybe Ramaswamy).

Pence should pick up a rifle and go over there and show us how it’s done.

Why? There is no reason we have to defend Ukraine and die for Ukraine. Russia did not invade us and Ukraine is not worth one American life.

He’s saying that because he’s being told to say just that, since, obviously, he’s not going to get any votes saying that.

The question now is: Just who is telling Pence to say it?

My theory is McConnell, as he’s having a huge fight right now in trying to get House Republicans to dump even more money into the Ukraine s-hole. So, now the threats begin: Open-warfare with an Asian Superpower, on Asian soil.

But even so, it doesn’t worry me, as I know the threats are empty - we’re not going to escalate into direct combat against Russia, at most we’ll just exchange nukes with them.

Pence wasn’t warning, he was pandering to the neo isolationist paleocons to try to snatch them away from Trump

The fact of the matter is that Poland is all ramped up and ready to go thus negating the necessity for any American troops on the battlefield.

Hey Pence, take your grandkids to Antietam show them the story and tell them how many were killed, then send them to Ukraine.

Never thought I’d be on the Anti-War protest lines, but American blood in Ukraine would do that for me.

Ive been saying the plan has been a Third world war since this started. So far, there is nothing that suggests Im wrong.

If it comes to that we will fight…the dims and RINOs that start it.
I will not stand for one drop of American blood spilled over that BS.
It’s bad enough they continue to send $billions to support the Uke Nazis, but to send troops? Nope.
