Lloyd Austin Threatened To Send US Troops To Russia If Ukraine Aid Not Passed: Tucker Carlson

Former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson on Thursday said that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin threatened Congressmen that he would send ' your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia' if Ukraine aid is not approved. This revelation comes days after White House official John Kirby had said that 'American blood' will be the cost of supporting Volodymyr Zelenskyy if no money is sent to Kyiv.

"The Biden administration is openly threatening Americans over Ukraine. In a classified briefing in the House yesterday, defense secretary Lloyd Austin informed members that if they don’t appropriate more money for Zelensky, “we’ll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia.” Pay the oligarchs or we’ll kill your kids," Carlson tweeted. However, his statement cannot be verified. Neither Austin, nor the Defense Department have reacted to the statement.
