Can we just sit back and watch Putin systematically kill people and destroy each of the cities in the country?<\/p>\n<p>The nuclear bomb has been seen as a deterrent for over 60 years. Now that Putin has used it as a threat and gotten away with it, he will never give up the advantage it has given him.<\/p>\n<p>If Ukraine falls to Russia, the United States will never again be seen as a superpower that stands for moral standards and democracy. Russian and Chinese authoritarianism will rule the world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ray Warren<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Mandurah, W.

Wake up, Joe.<\/p>\n<p><em>Daniel Kuncio<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Tribeca<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Like many Americans, I was deeply concerned by Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>However, given that we are risking WWIII with Russia \u2014 which no one will win \u2014 and we have a war ongoing on our streets that is worsening, we should focus our efforts on our domestic problems and not give Ukrainians false hope that we will intervene on their behalf.<\/p>\n<p>We should encourage the Ukrainians to accept the Russian peace proposal to end the war by creating a neutral, non-aligned Ukraine and cantonize the country to protect its constituent ethnic groups, just as we did in Bosnia. The longer this war goes on, the worse it will be for the entire world.<\/p>\n<p><em>Michael Pravica<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Henderson, Nev.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It is amazing that the United States has not <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roved jets to the Ukrainians so they can protect their country from Russian aircraft. This would not be a no-fly zone, just a stronger air defense.<\/p>\n<p>I do not understand this caution. Russia continues to use more deadly bombs. Isn\u2019t this what a careful, softer approach from Biden was supposed to avoid?<\/p>\n<p>It is terrible to watch Ukranians suffer like this and know we could be doing more to help these brave warriors.<\/p>\n<p>Biden and his handlers appear weak and feeble. They do not have the heart or intelligence to use the strength we have in this nation. We keep hearing that they don\u2019t want to start World War III, but with our weak, selfish leaders calling the shots, God forbid, that could be where we are headed. <\/p>\n<p><em>Catherine Adago<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So far, Biden has been ineffective with Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there were sanctions imposed, but he didn\u2019t go far enough. He has to cut off Russia completely.<\/p>\n<p>As for military aid to Ukraine, he hasn\u2019t done enough at all. We are in WWIII. Only he\u2019s not willing to face it.<\/p>\n<p>He can stop it now by helping Ukraine defeat Putin. He must give them the jets. He needs to stop talking and start acting.<\/p>\n<p>Words are cheap. Americans want more for Ukraine. Putin is bombing civilians and we\u2019re standing by. What\u2019s wrong with France and the United Kingdom?
