Recently, Democratic Senator Chris Coons of Delaware said that unless we send more aid to Ukraine, American forces will end up on the front lines in Russia.
This sounds like a threat. It's a glaring example of the fear mongering that Democrats and even some Republicans have resorted to in the Ukraine funding situation.
When did liberals become pro-war and into the politics of fear?
CNBC reports:
Senator Coons said US forces will be on the front lines against Russia without further aid to Ukraine
US Democratic Senator Chris Coons said on Friday that the United States faces the possibility of entering into direct combat with Russia if it fails to provide continued financial and military support to forces on the ground in Ukraine.
Coons called for bipartisan support in the US House of Representatives for a new aid package worth $95 billion that includes money for Ukraine, and said that investing in Europe is the best defense for the United States against Moscow.
“On the next front against Russia, the Americans will be on the front lines,” Coons told CNBC's Silvia Amaro at the Munich Security Conference.
“It is better for us to invest in Ukrainians who are bravely fighting for their freedom than to allow them to do so [Russian President Vladimir] Putin the opportunity to spread more chaos and violence throughout Europe.
On Tuesday, the US Senate approved the new funding package, but it faces strong opposition from lawmakers in the House of Representatives. Both chambers of Congress must approve the legislation before US President Joe Biden can sign it into law.
Coons said he was “optimistic” that the bill would be approved, albeit “repeatedly.” Without doing so, Coons said Putin would likely target a NATO ally next time.

They can't help themselves. They want to send our men and women into another foreign war so badly that they cannot bear it. https://t.co/90yWneRImi

Do Democrats really want to run with this message? Give us funding or we will send your children to war?
