On Trump's attack of Zelenskyy

Posted

To the Editor:

I don't think that I've ever felt more sick to my stomach and demoralized watching these two psychopathic bullies pile up on a hero who is protecting Ukraine and thus the rest of Europe and the world from a catastrophic invasion by a tyrant.

President Zelenskyy, a Jew who has overcome the history of antisemitism in Ukraine to become its leader, was bullied by a duo who should be prostrating themselves at his feet.  I have been angry and afraid and now, I am utterly disgusted.  If the Supreme Court allows this to go on, then the U.S. -- despite so many good, caring people -- will have completely and truly lost its soul.

When I was in high school, we had a history class discussion that I have never in all these years forgotten, about WWII, in which we were asked to consider if what happened was something that could only have happened in the unique circumstances of Germany, or if it could happen anywhere. Could it have happened here?  

I am the daughter of a Latvian refugee, and I must conclude that, tragically, it can happen here.
