Fox News viewers could not believe what they were watching.
Disputes between Fox News talent don’t usually break out into the open.
Fox News got turned upside down by this jaw-dropping on-air confrontation.
“The Next Revolution” host Steve Hilton hosted Retired Brigadier General and former New Hampshire Senate candidate Don Bolduc on his show to discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.
Retired Brigadier General Bolduc made the jaw-dropping suggestion that America send troops into Ukraine to help fight off the Russian invasion.
“This is not a time for pause right now,” Bolduc declared. “We need to get in there, and we need to help them on the ground. … But we’re just sitting back and we’re not doing anything.”
Hilton was taken aback by the suggestion and asked Bolduc what he meant.
Bolduc stated that meant technical advisors supporting “indirect fire” and “not boots on the ground, but putting great technical help on the ground.”
This suggestion stood as provocative after Putin threatened nuclear war against any country that interfered with Russia’s attempt to seize control of Ukraine by force.
Fox News Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin followed Bolduc on the show and took some time to explain why Bolduc’s suggestion of deploying troops to Ukraine was so dangerous.
“I have to respond to something your previous guest, Brigadier General Bolduc, said, because he really was way off the mark in terms of talking about what the U.S. could do on the ground,” Griffin began and stated that Putin’s nuclear arsenal – it is the largest in the world – is “why the U.S. military and NATO do not have troops on the ground inside Ukraine.”
Griffin then took Bolduc to task for his failed Senate campaign and being uninformed on the Ukraine conflict.
“Clearly, Brigadier General Bolduc is not a student of history; he’s a politician, he ran for Senate in New Hampshire and failed. He’s not a military strategist, and to suggest that the U.S. would put indirect fire or special operations or CIA on the ground to give Putin any sort of excuse to broaden this conflict is extremely dangerous talk at a time like this,” Griffin concluded.
Polls show the American people are united on two things – confronting Russian aggression and keeping American troops out of the field of battle.
Americans and Russians engaging in a shooting war would set in motion a series of events that would end in an exchange of nuclear weapons between the two largest nuclear superpowers in the world.
Everyone wants to avoid that outcome.
And that is why Griffin pushed back on the suggestion of sending American forces into Ukraine.
