Editor,

The failure of Communism in Russia is staggering. The Russian people missed their chance overthrow it in 1989. Since 2013, Russia’s GDP has only grown .5% per year while China’s communism “light” has been growing 5% to 6% per year.

Ed - I was reading in the Dutch news that Putin pays tens of thousands of rubles to the parents of killed soldiers as restitution. Soldiers are in some cases being encouraged by their 'new' girlfriends to sign up in the hope that they will get Putin's payout. Some parents of fallen soldiers are also bragging on TV that they were able to buy a new car or a washing machine. As long as that mentality is present in Russia, Ukraine will never win. Russian sons seem to be worth more dead than alive.
