Sen. Roger Wicker said Wednesday that President Biden should not 'rule out' military action in Ukraine if Russia invades, including the use of nuclear weapons.
'There's certain things in negotiations that if you're going to be tough that you don't take off the table,' the Mississippi Republican said. He noted that there are already around 200 US National Guard troops on the ground in Ukraine. 'Military action could mean we stand off with our ships in the Black Sea and we rein destruction on Russian military capability'.
