Opinion: How do readers rate U.S. policy regarding the war in Ukraine? [Opinion]
I am the granddaughter of Ukrainian immigrants. My grandparents fled for their lives to New York City at the turn of the century. Had they stayed in a city near Odesa, they could have been killed by the Russians because they were Jewish. Russian aggression against Ukrainians is nothing new. What is new today is that religion is no longer necessarily a factor in Russia’s killing of innocent men, women and children.
And let’s not forget all the tank ammunition that has yet to be expended. Ukraine does not need F-16 air superiority fighters. What Ukraine needs is dedicated close air support and ground attack aircraft. Let’s give Ukraine the A-10s that the U.S. claims it no longer needs and put an end to the war.As a bona fide member of the Vietnam generation, I get very nervous when I see our nation’s leaders provide open-ended commitments to foreign powers.
Many rightly fear nuclear war. But do we want to live in a world in which any nuclear armed power is free to use the force of arms to take whatever it wants by threatening nuclear annihilation if opposed in its aggression? There are lots of opinions about his age, but I say couple that with his experience in the Senate and on the world stage, along with his integrity and spiritual support. Is Joe Biden perfect? Of course not. But he loves this country. Finally, the world is reminded of the graciousness, resolve and strength that is American. The applause he received from thousands of Ukrainian and Polish citizens speaks to that.
My father fought in World War II. Although it was hardly The War to End All Wars, the successful defense of liberty and democracy in Europe and the Pacific was an important achievement for him, one that for his whole life he held up with pride. His message was never let autocracy crush the natural human spirit and desire for freedom. That principle held for 70 years of relative peace and prosperity in Europe. But now it is crumbling.
China welcomes the Russians. They can help offset the economic sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Russia because almost everything U.S. consumers buy is made in China.
