Rick Scott Suggests U.S. Troops on Ground in Ukraine Should Still Be An Option

Senator Rick Scott, a Republican from Florida, said in an interview scheduled to air Sunday that sending U.S. troops to Ukraine shouldn't be taken "off the table."

In his interview with journalist Greta Van Susteren, Scott said that the goal of the U.S. response should be to provide the Ukrainians with resources to fight the Russians on their own. However, he also said, "you should always keep all your options open."

According to a transcript of the interview, Van Susteren asked him if there was a point at which he would want to "put U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine."

"We'll provide money for humanitarian relief and weapons, but is there a point where you'd want to have U.S. soldiers in there?" she asked.

Only if they attack a NATO country. Otherwise keep your powder dry Skeletor.

is getting the narrative ready that president Biden didn't do enough.

Someone from the MSM should ask Scott if he disavows Putin's puppet?
