Editor,

Two million people have died in Ukraine so far and peace talks seemed to have been put on the back burner. Russia is still bombing Ukraine and killing its citizens and we seem to be in a pause with peace talks. While they need our help more than ever, Trump seems more interested in going after other countries such as Venezuela, Greenland and Mexico than helping one of our allies. America has lost its compass in this world and it is losing its place as a defender of our allies. We need a new saying to define our nation Make America America again.

Dear Robert - where have you been? The US are still supplying Ukraine with weaponry although the Europeans are now paying for them. We are still actively involved in discussions and negotiations with the leaders of Ukraine and Russia. For the first time in a long while we have a President who can walk and chew gum at the same time. Upon Trump's urging, NATO will now be involved in securing Greenland from possible Chinese and Russian aggression. Venezuela is releasing political prisoners and is now allowed to sell its oil on the world market after Trump lifted their targeted sanctions. Get updated from other news sources and realize that there is a new sheriff in town. And no, the SF Chronicle and CNN are not the reliable sources that they were when you were a teenager.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Nice, but I’m not sure why you’re blaming Trump for attempting to fix Biden’s mess. This was never our war and it takes two to tango so if Russia and Ukraine don’t want to dance, so be it. As for Making America America Again, I’m all for it. But MAGA has a better ring to it than MAAA (sounds like a farmer collective).
