Stop Saying What We Won't Do In Ukraine: Kinzinger

Foreign Affairs Committee member, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., expresses his concern over going 'toe-to-toe' with Russia, why he says the U.S. should stop publicly saying what they won't do in Ukraine and what he thinks of Donald Trump's legacy on foreign policy.

will allow themselves to be exposed to conflict, which is possibly what Putin wants--he wants an incident he can use to stoke up home support and prove NATO aggression in a conflict where they shouldn't be combatants. I'm not sure the Croatia crashed drone wasn't an attempt to provoke NATO. Putin needs the dynamics of this war to change--it's like a fire, and NATO would be the oxygen. Best to deny him that gift.

This guy is smart enough to be a quality Democrat - or am I unaware of some of his negatives?

He's likely running for President, so beware of becoming a fan.

the table. It's like you can have Ukraine as long as you don't cross this line. Putin tested that Red line in Syria and got away with it.
