S02E03 – Should the US send soldiers to Ukraine?

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, we discuss whether the US should send soldiers to Ukraine. We agree that what is happening in Ukraine is awful and that this is Putin’s doing. Josh tried to put some of the responsibility for Russia invading Ukraine on the policies of left-leaning administrations in the US but did not get agreement from Ryan. We all agreed that the US should do as much as possible to support Ukraine in this invasion – from sending weapons and “advisors” to cyber warfare and severe sanctions – but the risk of nuclear weapons is too high to warrant sending in American troops. We also discussed the possibility of Putin using nuclear weapons. In the bonus portion of the podcast, we discuss Trump’s compliments toward Putin.
