These are dangerous times
To the Editor:
Who’s writing the script on the United States’ approach towards Ukraine and Russia? Trump or Putin?
• February 18 — Trump falsely claims Ukraine started the war with Russia. That’s a win for Putin.
• February 24 — the U.S. joins Russia to vote against the UN General Assemby resolution condemning Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Notch another one for Putin.
• February 28 — Trump and Vance berate Zelensky on national television, like two third-graders on the schoolyard trying to bully another boy into giving them his lunch money. Score another hit for Putin.
• March 1 — Pete Hegseth, DOD Secretary, tells the military to stand down on all Russia related cybersecurity operational planning efforts and also on March 1, the U.S. terminates support of Ukraine energy grid restoration. That’s two more big wins for Russia.

Looks like a clean sweep for Putin.
One must conclude that Russia is actually our ally instead of the enemy state rooting for us to fail at every turn, which we thought it was! Do you hear that, Ronald Reagan and every president for the last 60-plus yers? Seems you had it wrong all along! Who knew!
Trump plays a risky and dangerous game by emboldening a hegemonic power with his many concessions and assists. Meanwhile, the Republican majorities in both houses of Congress do nothing and stand quietly by, even when the White House has the audacity to make social media posts on February 19 saying “Long live the King,” accompanied by a picture of Trump wearing a crown.
Dangerous times!
