Is This Really a Good Time For the U.S. to Send Ground Troops to Ukraine?

Next week, the United States will send 200 troops to Ukraine to participate in training exercises. Yes, the same Ukraine engaged in civil war.
Reportedly an annual affair, Rapid Trident comes as the United States and Russia exchange barbs and sanctions over Ukraine. President Barack Obama is particularly upset over NATO photos that show Russian soldiers crossing into Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin killed time on a flight to Mongolia by jotting down a seven-point peace plan. The first steps would require Ukrainian rebels to stop their push for territory, followed by government forces pulling back on artillery and air strikes.
The deal was announced following a phone call between Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Putin, although both sides have since tempered their enthusiasm.
President Obama, who is scheduled to meet with NATO leaders, said of the “so-called announced ceasefires,” that “if in fact Russia is prepared to stop financing, arming, training, in many cases joining, with Russian troops, activities in Ukraine and is serious about a political settlement, that is something we all hope for.”
