It would all depend on what is meant by boots on the ground. If it means regular armed forces in mass, absolutely not. But, if what is meant is special operations forces sent in to do a particular job and leave, like the Maduro operation, that is possible. We do have personnel and equipment prepositioned I believe in Azerbaijan that specialize in these operations. It all depends on what they need to do. We wouldn't even find out until after a mission was completed.
IMO this is all part of Trump's ambiguity strategy. He doesn't like being predictable. Trolling the press is his specialty.
