Not necessarily. Turtle didn't specifically say troops to Ukraine, but the
implication was clear - if you don't vote to send this money, we will have to send in troops to fight Russia.
While I'm certainly on the side of doing our part to help put Ukraine in a position to defend themselves and their land against Russia, there is also a possibility Russia does not go beyond Ukraine. This is not the first time he's attacked Ukraine, or even elsewhere.
So no, it's not a certainty that if we don't send this money, that he will attack a NATO country and we'll have to send troops later. That too is a false claim. But it's certainly a scenario I would rather not see happen, and hopefully passing this bill will help do that.
It's also very possible we'll have to send our troops to fight Russia one day, even if we do pass this bill.
