To the editor: President Trump campaigned in 2024 on ending the Russian/Ukrainian warfare in at some point, bringing peace to the Center East and beginning no new wars.
My Memorial Day version of the Los Angeles Instances reported on Russia putting Ukraine with a hypersonic missile (“Russia uses hypersonic missile in a mass attack on Kyiv, Ukraine says,” Could 24). That doesn’t sound like peace to me.
Web page 2 contains tales of doable peace within the warfare with Iran (“Trump says not to rush as details emerge of a potential Iran deal,” Could 24). That seems like new warfare to me. The doable peace contains opening the Strait of Hormuz, releasing $25 billion in frozen Iranian belongings and finalizing restrictions on Iran’s nuclear provide in future discussions over the subsequent 60 days.
Isn’t this precisely the place we had been on Feb. 27, 2026? If we had stayed in that place, we’d have saved an estimated $29 billion to $40 billion. Talking of Iran’s nuclear provide, the U.S., United Kingdom, China, Russia, Germany, France and Iran had agreed to a Joint Complete Plan of Motion in 2015 to watch Iran’s uranium provide/utilization. Trump ended this peaceable pact in 2018.
Whereas I do know the Instances is just not accountable for creating the information, I want on this Memorial Day that there have been a number of extra issues to be reported on that we may very well be happy with.
