Dear First Felon,

Our enemies are happy, dancing in the streets, at the certainty that you are abandoning Ukraine.

You scold Ukraine for “getting into” this war with Russia. But Ukraine did not ask for war. Russia invaded Ukraine, a sovereign nation. Your friend, Putin, the dictator and murderer, has ordered mass bombing of civilian targets in his effort to demoralize the people of a democratic country, fighting for its life.  

After Ukraine falls, watch Taiwan disappear. Then, you think it will be your turn to invade Panama.

Perhaps the salutation of my next open letter to you should be “Dear Thug.” Noun “a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.”

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
