To the editor:

Please realize if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wins, then Russian President Vladimir Putin will occupy the rest of the Ukraine and would go after the Baltic states next. He will continue to renew his position in the Middle East because he knows Trump will do nothing. Also since Trump has said that NATO is wrong, that will remove the leadership protecting Europe.

Also South Korea will feel it must develop a nuclear defense and Japan will also feel it necessary. Putin’s ambition is to recreate the former U.S.S.R., knowing that Trump seems to agree with him.

Are American voters really this stupid? I certainly hope they are not. I am 81 and have lived through all wars since 1941 and served as well in the military. For God’s sake, think before you vote.
