Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Congress on Tuesday during a private briefing that if they do not pass more aid to Ukraine, it would “very likely” lead to U.S. troops fighting a war in Europe.

“If [Vladimir] Putin takes over Ukraine, he’ll get Moldova, Georgia, then maybe the Baltics,” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) told The Messenger, after Austin and other senior Biden administration officials briefed House lawmakers on their request for more aid for Ukraine.

“And then the idea that we’ll have to put troops on the ground in Secretary Austin’s word was very likely,” McCaul added. “That’s what we’re trying to avoid.”

The Messenger reported that the warning “did little” to win over Republican skeptics, who oppose more aid to Ukraine without more accountability and transparency on how it will help Ukraine.

If he got the Baltics he’d already have defeated us. What in the hell is he talking about?

Well folks. There it is. Proof that this is a money grab for all time. If you disagree then show me where any of that money went. You can round up to the nearest BILLION if you like. We don't mind. Accounting in war time can be difficult right?

They have stuff to hide in Ukraine and it shows. The constant fear about their border with absolute disregard for ours is disgusting.

How funny would it be if Russia did everything Austin said, then the day Trump wins, Putin says, "here you go, you can have it back".

But, that's not what Putin wants. He wants a small sliver of land where the Russian natives can live peacefully. This is all such BS.

All three Baltic nations are members of NATO. If they get attacked, it won't be just US soldiers going in alone it will be all of NATO going in together.

Putin is having trouble handling Ukraine with just western gear, the last thing he wants is to add all the armies (and arms) of the West to that.
