President Bidens risky move to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles: Letters to the Editor Nov. 22, 2024

The Issue: President Biden permitting Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles against Russia.It’s interesting that President Biden, in his lame-duck phase, has seemingly emerged from his “nap on the beach” to authorize Ukrainian strikes using US-made missiles in Russian territory (“US & Kyiv strike a blow,” Nov.20).Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump is expected to approach the Ukraine-Russia conflict in a more peaceful manner.

There’s been so much death and destruction under Biden.J.R.
