Chicago Tribune should support Vivec Ramasramy’s call for end to perpetual war in Ukraine .

Walt Zlotow, President, West Suburban Peace Coalition, Glen Ellyn IL 27 Aug 23

As a peace advocate for the local West Suburban Peace Coalition, I take issue with the Trib’s Editorial: ‘Vladimir Putin is no Bond villain. Supporting him is morally repulsive.’

It mischaracterized Ramaswamy’s implied plea for peace in Ukraine thru ending unlimited weaponizing of the failed Ukraine counteroffensive. It said not one word about “going soft” on Russian President Putin.

Ramaswamy is not “morally repugnant”. He was simply reflecting current US public opinion. A majority now support ending weapons which squander US treasure while extending the killing and destruction in Ukraine indefinitely. –The Trib should know that virtually every war ends with a negotiated settlement. The only way that will not occur in Ukraine is if it goes nuclear. Ramaswamy was the only candidate on the podium promoting peace in Ukraine. That deserves our support, not condemnation.
