Letter to the Editor: War in Ukraine a battle of communism vs. freedom – Fairfield Daily Republic

If youve kept up with whats going on in Ukraine, youre witnessing Russian Communism in action. Its outright aggression eliminating a country thats tasted freedom and a free peoples fight to stay free. Russian President Vladimir Putin cant tolerate that.

Youre also seeing a lack of courage on the part of some western nations, notably the United States under President Biden. Poland and Romania stand out, taking in more than a million Ukrainians, mostly women and children, and serving as conduits for arms into Ukraine. Both nations got rid of Russian control and arent going back. Neighboring countries have been supporting Ukraine with their stocks or weapons.

Whats holding the U.S. back? The Biden administration says it doesnt want to trigger World War III as Putin has threatened nuclear retaliation for intervening in his invasion. The U.S. shouldnt have to remind Putin that we have nuclear weapons, too; and its he that would start it.

The free European nations the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) know that, should Ukraine fall, theyre next. All they want is U.S. commitment as we did in World Wars I and II, and Korea, among other far-away places.

Communist China is taking all this in contemplating how its invasion of Taiwan would fare.

We have the wrong administration in Washington, D.C.
