Democrat Senator Chris Coons of Delaware recently said that unless we send more aid to Ukraine, American troops will end up on the front lines in Russia.
This sounds like a threat. It’s a blatant example of fear-mongering that Democrats and even some Republicans have resorted to in the case of funding for Ukraine.
When did liberals become so pro-war and prone to the politics of fear?
CNBC reports:
U.S. troops will be on the front lines against Russia without further Ukraine aid, Senator Coons says
The U.S. faces the prospect of direct combat with Russia if it fails to provide continued financial and military support for forces on the ground in Ukraine, U.S. Democratic Sen. Chris Coons said Friday.
Calling for bipartisan support from the U.S. House of Representatives for a new $95 billion aid package that includes funds for Ukraine, Coons said that investment in Europe was the U.S.′ best defense against Moscow.
“In the next front against Russia, it will be Americans on the front lines,” Coons told CNBC’s Silvia Amaro at the Munich Security Conference.
“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.”
The U.S. Senate on Tuesday approved the new funding package, but it faces tough opposition from House lawmakers. Both houses of Congress need to approve the legislation before U.S. President Joe Biden can sign it into law.
Coons said he was “optimistic” the bill would be approved, albeit with “some back and forth.” Without doing so, Coons said Putin was likely to target a NATO ally next.
Here are some Twitter/X reactions.
They can't help themselves. They want to send our men and women off to another foreign war so bad they can't stand it. https://t.co/90yWneRImi

Anyone who votes to put boots on the ground in Russia should be on the front lines with them. Warmongers. https://t.co/BJNMnzKKBF

If you don’t fund this war that we’ve already sent billions of dollars to; we will send your sons and daughters to die overseas.
How much more do you think this will endear Ukraine’s fight to the American people? https://t.co/MVszmZkgqx

Do Democrats really want to run with this message? Give us funding or we’ll send your kids to war?
They're willing to sacrifice America's blood and treasure for the sake of the Biden/Zelensky Money Laundering Operation.
And we better shut up and like it.
Send your children first, jackass
He already put his daughter on the front lines for Biden to molest
I think not—Talk is cheap and now that the Ukraine Army is folding up any attempt to help will be seen as too little, too late. Only use of US troops will be to pull out Americans before the advancing Russians. That and pulling out Mr. Zelenskyy.
It begs the question why are they pushing this so hard.
What is it about Ukraine they are so desperate to protect.
Nobody buys that nonsense for a second.
Pressing the House to capitulate using these tactics could be much more effective if the government still had full control of the flow of information, and if there were millions more clueless Americans who didn’t see right through these limp attempts.
Old jackasses think that using their time honored shaming rhetoric will be useful in modern times where there are multiple ways to get much more useful and accurate information than was available in the not too distant past. They’re too arrogant and small minded to comprehend their shtick is stale and counterproductive, IMO.
$14 trillion in mineral wealth, at the least of things.
All the wrong people are supporting Ukraine.
Follow the money.

Coons, we;ll go ahead and start placing your combat-musings in ongoing campaign ads and we’ll see how that message, along with everything else democrats are failing at, pans out for you.
Send the Senators like him who support Ukraine to the front line on “The Russian Front”.
Drop dead Coons. I don’t care what Jew hating jerks say.
Screw Ukraine. Screw NATO. To hell with Europe. We saved your butts twice. No more.
How much of the border wall have you put up?
Get back to us after the first 50 miles is up.
Mineral wealth was also why we were in Afghanistan.
I think one of the reasons for involving America troops is the UniParty is itching to start WW3 before the election, giving them a reason to suspend it and retain total control, forever.
Lindsey, Mitch, Neo-Nikki, Raytheon, and Boeing love eternal, no-win wars.
Yes, that is correct. Kissinger thought we could turn Afghanistan into a modern Day version, like we did with Japan.
