(WND ) Fox News host Tucker Carlson is warning that Joe Biden’s apparent plan to send Patriot missiles to Ukraine isn’t what the people of the U.S. want, because it likely will mean American soldiers on the ground there.
And that would be a major escalation.

The Gateway Pundit explained that the Russian Embassy in Washington condemned the idea.
“If this is confirmed, we will witness yet another provocative step by the administration, which can lead to unpredictable consequences. Continued deliveries of arms will only strengthen the Zelensky regime’s sense of impunity and push it to new crimes against Civilians in Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions,” it said.
Explained the Gateway Pundit, “Tucker Carlson discussed this last night and addressed Russia’s response. Tucker also conveyed that these missiles require Americans to operate them. Therefore, if the U.S. sends these advanced missiles to Ukraine, he is sending U.S. troops as well. Tucker argued that this is not what the American people want.”
The report noted that the U.S. hasn’t yet confirmed the decision to send the advanced weaponry, but “multiple reports indicated such an announcement could come this week.”
