To the editor: European leaders describe the battle with Iran as “not our war” (“Ukraine’s aid against Iran shows who the U.S. allies really are,” March 18). A stunning angle when contemplating, had the U.S. taken the same stance in World Conflict I and World Conflict II, Europe’s place would have been far much less sure and presumably a unique panorama altogether. American intervention was a selection that got here at huge price in lives, sources and nationwide resolve.
Even right now within the Russian struggle with Ukraine, America is taking part in a central function in safeguarding Europe, supplying all types of intelligence and help on the world stage.
Alliances endure when obligations are shared and never averted.

To the editor: Visitor contributor Mikhail Alexseev’s op-ed provides us the reminder we want. If solely the billions of dollars, navy belongings and help our self-named “president of peace” has thrown at Israel in combating the Palestinians and Iranians have been supplied to Ukraine as an alternative. President Trump can be a brand new hero. As a substitute, he finds himself in a essential place, with solely Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin as would-be friends.
