Boots on the ground

About once a week I hear some newsperson on TV say that the people of the United States are war weary and want nothing to do with sending US troops anywhere. Many are not aware of this but the Ukraine agreed to give up their nuclear weapons if NATO promised to protect their borders. They gave up their weapons but when Russian took over Crimea, NATO did nothing. So much for promises! Now there is the possibility that Russia may move into Estonia which is a NATO member so the question arises will the people of the US agree to send troops to defend Estonia. The people want nothing to do with going to war against Russia so NATO which depends on US leadership will likely do nothing. This opens the door for Russian then to retake Lithuanian and Latvia the other two Baltic States which are also NATO members. The people of Russia feel they were humiliated when the Soviet Union collapsed and as Putin retakes territory he is cheered on by the people of Russia. They will put up with sanctions as a matter of pride. Once he starts to move and the west is reluctant to risk troops on the ground he will just continue. He would like nothing better than to rebuild the old Soviet by taking back all of Eastern Europe. Will the American people still refuse troops on the ground? The President has often quoted the polls showing the American people do not want our troops going to foreign countries so will he continue to follow what the people want?
