LETTER: Don’t pull back from Europe

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Europe now is totally crazy stupid.

That would be great news for our adversary Russian president Vladmir Putin who has been threatening our European allies/NATO and who has probably already done covert attacks on some.

It would encourage despotic Putin in continued horrific attacks on Ukraine and would be undermining us and our allies. Putin and his cronies have even threatened World War 3. We need to be building up our military at home as well as overseas to counter threats to world peace.

Trump and Hegseth are weakening us militarily and putting us in a very dangerous position against any and all adversaries.
