Another futile Russia peace discuss: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Recent peace talks between the United States and Russia to finish the battle in Ukraine.
This newest contorted attempt at peace in Ukraine belies a basic fact: Russia gained’t settle for a cheap peace as long as it’s steadily advancing on the battlefield, regardless of the fee of the advance (“Vlad’s ‘end’ vision,” Dec. 4).

I imagine that our involvement within the unwinnable battle with Russia wants to finish. Let the European Union deal with this example.
Neither money nor weapons will suffice. Ukraine wants fighters, and I, for one, don’t need our younger women and men’s boots on the ground. We need to deal with our own critical points, of which there are lots of.

Vladimir Putin can’t be trusted to dwell up to the phrases of any deal. He’s like an addict, hungry for territory so as to add to Russia and to determine his place in its historical past. If he “accepts” phrases, it would simply be his approach of shopping for time and licking his wounds.

Putin illegally occupied japanese Ukraine by killing 1000’s of harmless males, girls and kids, and bombing colleges, hospitals and civilian properties.
Trump ought to inform Putin that we are going to give Ukrainian forces Tomahawk missiles to rain down on Russia if he doesn’t come to a appropriate deal for each warring international locations.
Trump, don’t be like Joe Biden: Stand up to Putin. We the people need a honest and simply peace for either side, and we shouldn’t be intimidated by a vile, evil tyrant. Our nation has the technology and the weapons to tackle any foe.

The most important factor proper now could be to scale back Ukrainian and Russian casualties of each army and non-military personnel, who’re being pummeled day and night time by army weaponry.
What might seem like kowtowing to Putin is unlikely to be the complete image. Whatever is determined behind closed doorways won’t ever be totally disclosed to the public.
This is a non permanent stopgap — nothing more, nothing much less. Our dedication to Ukraine has not modified.

The Issue: President Trump’s pardon of the previous Honduran president, a convicted drug trafficker.
President Trump cracks down on the fellows who had been allegedly smuggling medication throughout the Caribbean by blowing up their boats (“Ex-prez ‘not a narco,’ ” Dec. 3).
But then he pardons a high-level Honduran politician who took a $1 million bribe to miss drug smugglers who prosecutors mentioned “paved a cocaine superhighway to the United States.”
In America, our president appears to rule based mostly on his personal say-so moderately than the law.

The former president of Honduras, convicted in a court docket of law and sentenced to 45 years in jail for drug trafficking, was pardoned.
People accused of committing the identical crime on a smaller scale with no proof had been murdered on the high seas.
President Joe Biden was previous and gradual, however he was nonetheless conscious of what he did and mentioned. Trump introduced that he was pardoning somebody, and the subsequent day he acted like he didn’t know who it was — nuts.

Trump will need to have a cut up persona. His administration ordered assaults on Venezuelan boats suspected of carrying unlawful medication, but he simply pardoned a former Honduran president who convicted of drug trafficking — go determine.
