Faulty Trump assumption on Ukraine

Your guest columnist from April 16 talked about the assumption that if Donald Trump were still president that Ukraine would have quickly become part of Russia. Are you serious?When Trump was in office Russia did not attemptany invasions, Afghanistan was stable, China was in check. And this guy has the gall to say that Trump would have let Ukraine become part of Russia.He talks about how Biden's support of Ukraine is so great.Why didn't he enforce sanctions on Russia when 190,000 Russian troops were amassing on the Ukraine border before the invasion?Why has this administration been so slow to act on almost everything?The answer is simple, Biden shows American weakness where Trump showed strength.

Thank you Jim Broadhurst for calling out Mr. Trump and his ridiculous boast about stopping Mr. Putin's brutal, sadistic and otherwise horrific invasion of Ukraine, before it ever started.Not only does Mr. Broadhurst hit the nail on the head with his description of how Mr. Trump would have folded like a cheap suit in the face of Mr. Putin's attack, he does it while making us laugh at the same time.We now see a man who once described himself as a stable genius, calling the Russian invader a genius for this "special military operation."That in itself is mind-boggling.

I disagree with a recent letter writer that Trump would have turned Ukraine over to Russia.In fact I wonder if Putin would have even tried.Trump had closed the Russian pipeline in Europe and with our energy independence we were selling to our allies. Biden shut Keystone and opened the Russian pipeline giving Putin greater control of Europe.I believe NATO caved to Putin when Ukraine asked for membership.

Your article is misleading when it says that the war inUkrainenever would have happened ifPresident Trump had been in power to stop it. Had Trump been in office Putin never would have had the ambition or the financing to back this war. Putin knew Biden would stop the U.S. from drilling oilandgas that would give the Russians the money to go forward with the war. Had the U.S. been supplying oil andgas to the world, including the Europeans, thousands would be alive, Ukraine wouldn't be in rubble andPutin would not be another Hitler.

I read with admiration Jim Broadhursts excellent letter on the tragic genocide in Ukraine by the heartless war criminal Putin and one of his biggest fans, Donald Trump. By calling this genocidal animal a genius.Trump, the insurrectionist, can be considered a visionary for trying to overthrow our government. Unfortunately our brothers and sisters in democratic Ukraine face not only a change in government but total annihilation.
