To the editor:

One of the biggest recent and horrifying changes from Washington is the abandonment of NATO and our allies — including Ukraine. Russia is celebrating, and that's a repressive country where people have no First Amendment rights. Eighty-one percent of Americans don’t trust Russian President Vladimir Putin, yet our president repeats Putin’s lies, shifting U.S. support toward Russia.

Well said Ned and Scott. Agree with you 100%.

Putin has murdered opposition leaders, undermined Western democracies including the United States with pervasive misinformation campaigns, killed or imprisoned hundreds of journalists, invaded sovereign nations, bombed hospitals, schools and religious centers in Ukraine and Syria, abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, has turned Russia into a totalitarian surveillance state, and ruined the Russian economy. Trump's recent statements about Ukraine, Zelensky and the start of the war are morally repugnant.
