Letter to a U.S. Senator

 

 

TO: Senator Todd Young (R-IN, on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee)

Good Morning Senator Todd,

Thank you for your recent e-mail and the fiscal problems seem particularly gloomy.

Your message about Ukraine has been consistent and I am hoping that you will hear some of what I am saying.

President Putin is not crazy. Please start with that thought in mind.

What has been happening in the Ukraine since 2014 is a tragedy, I agree.

It is a tragedy that our actions in support of a revolutionary change in the Ukraine government are seen as provocative to Russia.

President Putin's actions in Ukraine are reactionary in foundation.

You may disagree and I would say that sending weapons to Ukraine is like sending gasoline to a fire.

Kyiv to Moscow is 550 miles or less. There is no room for armies on either side of the border.

How can we tolerate our President who stated that "there is no provocation to this war"?

Are we saying that a "deranged Putin is acting for his own benefit"???

That this is happening because President Putin is greedy?

Please don't legislate weapons but rather legislate bridges.

Kyiv is 236 from Russian border.

These people are related.

"…calling for action against Russia’s energy sector…" makes the situation worse.

The war must end quickly and repair done to the international order.

Have a Peaceful Tomorrow,

Dan Glover in Maine
