LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Invading Russia would destroy us

The Cold War is over. Get over it.

Russia was almost our ally. Did America not learn anything from Vietnam, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan? When you go where you don’t belong, it never turns out good. You lose.

America is fast becoming the Untied States (spelling intended), on the path to self-annihilation. If we invade Russia, they’ll be happy to finish the job.

Most veterans won’t accommodate another political war. We only do defense, not offense, and encourage our active-duty comrades to do the same.

But then no one may ever have to fight. Nikita Khrushchev told us in the last century, “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.”
