Dear First Felon:

So you are “focused on peace”? You have not learned anything from history?

Neville Chamberlain was also focused on peace. He bragged about “peace in our day” when he caved in to Hitler, which led inexorably to World War II.

You never get peace, Sir, by retreating from bullies and showing weakness. Instead, you make the entire world less safe.

Ronald Reagan understood this. So do the WWII veterans we are still honored to have among us, few though they may be. Your abandoning Ukraine is a slap in the face to them and to the more than 400,000 American soldiers who died and to the more than 600,000 US soldiers who were injured in WII.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
