Editor: One of the reasons Japan attacked the U.S. to start WWII was because of the U.S. stopping oil and other material shipments to Japan. This U.S. action was done in reaction to Japan’s aggressive military actions toward China and other Asian countries. Yesterday, the U.S. and NATO placed heavy sanctions on Russia due to their invasion of Ukraine. This morning I read that Putin has placed his strategic nuclear forces on high alert.
I fear Putin may have a similar mindset to Hitler and Stalin. Sure hope I’m wrong; however, we’d better be prepared for the worst and demonstrate our military resolve/deterence to Putin in a way he understands. Unfortunately, we’ve got “Mr. Magoo” as our POTUS. Just like Mr. Magoo, Biden may stumble us into a war, or get lucky and trip over something that’ll prevent it. Here’s to the latter.

This is a strange letter. Rather than articulate anything Biden should do, you call him a childish name and denigrate him.
Do you think Biden should send U.S troops to Ukraine? Should he declare a nuclear war? Our last president stood on a stage in Helsinki and threw our intelligence services under the bus for the whole world to see, and cringe at. Is that what Biden should do? Prostrate himself before Putin like Trump did?
Like I said, this is a strange letter.
Would you rather have Putin’s concubine in the White House? Trump gushes at the mere thought of Putin’s shirtless torso. What did you think of Trump stating that Putin “is a genius” for invading another sovereign nation? If President Biden made the same comments about Putin as Trump has the past several years, Republicans would have gone ballistic. He’s no better than Putin.
So, what is your advice for our president? Or are you just more comfortable finding fault?
The POTUS is near-sighted? And you’d rather have someone in the office who’d be praising Putin’s genius as he kills civilians and brings the world to the brink of nuclear war?
Okay, so what are your suggested alternative actions?
So what alternatives or advice do you offer?
And what would you suggest Mr Parker? It appears to be a no wn situation. But I agree with you. I might think sending 5000 troops from every opposing country into Ukraine might give Putin pause. But we are gonna let time pass and it may be too late.
