Since Jesse Jackson’s column “Avoiding crisis between Russia and Ukraine” was published Feb. 20, Russia’s army has invaded, without provocation, the sovereign, peaceful nation of Ukraine and is committing genocide against the Ukrainian people — just as Russian President Vladimir Putin’s idol Joseph Stalin did in 1932-33.
Jackson writes “Ukraine must not be allowed in NATO” but Ukrainians would ask him “Why?” When did Americans — living in the beacon of the free world — throw away our values of standing up for freedom, democracy and self-determination to appease a dictator who crushes freedom in his country and in others? Please tell us, Mr. Jackson.
