Standing up for Ukraine now
To: Pres. Biden
From: A verified voter in Hercules, CA
November 10
Trump will take the reins in January 2025. You must address the Nation and the World very soon about what happened in Ukraine from 2014 to now. About the Rule of Law and the post WWII sanctity of borders and nations, and why we have such agreements and precedents. Of the true history of Ukraine, its people, it's culture, and how actually it is not Russia nor is Russia's property. How Russia infiltrated both Crimea and The Donbas. About how allowing Russia, or any country, to just take any other country just because of military power, is wrong. About why there is a NATO, or an EU, and how and why Russia is so paranoid, yet wrong. Perhaps you should make a joint address with President Obama, and explain how the 2 of you allowed the takeover of Crimea, and did not step up as fully as the USA could and should have, along with NATO and other nations, to provide the air cover and defense that would have stopped and defeated Russia. Certainly in 2022. And perhaps in other ways in 2014.
Of course, I am aware of The Nuclear Threat. And bullies with that "makes cowards of us all". I personally believe that the USA is very wrong in how it has dealt with Cuba from Batista through Castro. But the Cuban Missile Crisis should be instructive to you and All.
(Apologies from you and All former US Administrations about and to Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Kurdistan, Israel, Palestine, Cuba, Central and South America, Rwanda, Somalia, could follow .... But the line must be firmly drawn with Ukraine.)
