Dem Senator Chris Coons Says American Troops Will be on the Front Lines in Russia Without More Aid for Ukraine

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?

--- "While squawking loudly about 1% of the Federal budget for Ukraine, they keep rubber-stamping ten or twenty times that for welfare programs, corporate and otherwise, and supports for illegal immigration. Is the sturm und drang over Ukraine just intended to distract the electorate from their main agenda? Seems to have fooled a substantial number of Freepers. The O.P. [ bimboeruption ] prominent among them. "

Your response is what I expected. "They" who "rubber-stamp" what you say they do, are not as evident on Free Republic as you allege. Additionally the article is clearly sourced to Breitbart.

"Seems to have fooled a substantial number of Freepers" is an allegation, not a fact.

Support for illegal immigration? Not ANY I have come across on Free Republic.

Thus your response is disingenuous, as well as fumbling.

I shall now think the middle initial "C" in your moniker to mean "cookies" as in the ISW family-operated lobby group in DC. You're not measuring up to the Brunner "minor" character of the futurist fiction genre.

Coons is a POS but the voters in Delaware deserve the blame for putting him there. Can’t fix stupid.

Perhaps his moniker's middle initial stands for "Clinton."

This seems an unreasonable response. To document an ACTUAL wish for nuclear war should Putin seem to be winning, one can point to an ACTUAL set of comments:

I would rather the world end in nuclear war than yield to Little Pukin.

That is what an ACTUAL wish for nuclear war looks like on Free Republic threads. Meanwhile the one you aimed your comment at did not mention nuclear war. Quoting verbatim:
"So now the UniParty is resorting to extortion.

"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."

Not a mention of "nuclear war" therein, though you interpolated with your use of the phrase. Close reading of comments as of news and opinion is warranted.

“..It begs the question why are they pushing this so hard.
What is it about Ukraine they are so desperate to protect....”

Ukraine is more than likely the “official U.S. Congressional Money Laundromat” and probably has been for years.
It’s where hard-earned, U.S. taxpayer dollars go in, and nice, shiny, clean money comes out in some offshore account owned by scumbags in DC. It’s like magic!! /s How else is a poor, little, old congress critter gonna retire with billions on a lowly congress critter salary? /s
They’re either protecting “their” cash flow and/or covering crimes.

Second your view. Seems quite accurate.

As I read posts and comments, some quite rancorous, when I read the word "Ukraine" I also see alongside the names "Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and Romney" along with the oligarchs who mostly likely aided and abetted. That Democrat and RINO-tinged corruption should be remembered long.

I was referring to certain "conservative" Congresscritters. Who seem to be trying to fool the electorate, and are fooling some Freepers, including you.

The Ukraine is or was a breadbasket of Europe and Africa. What better way to stave millions for population control than have it destroyed by war (not to mention the military casualties).
