| Description: | Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III reportedly told House members that failure to provide more aid for Ukraine could lead to Russias invasion of a NATO ally and a direct U.S. military response in accordance with the NATO treaty. A viral post by Tucker Carlson misleadingly omits Austins explanation of why U.S. troops might be required. |
