‘Need to help Ukraine. Read history’

Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson are about to repeat the history of Adolf Hitler. Hitler removed Germany from the League of Nations. Donald Trump wants us to leave NATO. They both want to appease Vladimir Putin.

Former United Kingdom Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler in 1938 and gave half of Czechoslovakia to Germany so it would not invade France or England. Well, six months later, Hitler invaded Poland and World War II started. We helped England with the war effort with supplies. We had Americans with family members who volunteered to fly fighters for the Royal Air Force.

Trump wants Putin to win and doesn’t care what happens to Ukraine. The next step for Russia is Poland, when we are out of NATO, as Trump would like. We need to help Ukraine. Read history. My dad and five uncles served in WWII, against Hitler and Benito Mussolini. All were from Italian immigrants and true Americans.

I can’t say that about Trump. Vote this year – it will last forever for the younger generation.
