Ukrainians must fight this fight alone with U.S./NATO weapons. If Putin steps over the line into NATO territory, or if the U.S./NATO steps over the line into Russian territory, then all guns will be blazing their way into World War III. Biden is.
I am writing to applaud Genevieve Fraser’s very fine letter [“So-called solar farms,” Jan. 11] about the need to stop the destruction of “forests, scrublands and fields” in Western Massachusetts. Obliterating “farmlands, open fields and forests” Ms..

There is no safe place in Palestine. It has no army and is occupied by Israel, a country with one of the largest militaries in the world with tanks, jets, drones, guided missiles, assorted weaponry, and over 200 nuclear bombs, plus an extensive surveillance system.
Israel’s military might is largely funded by the USA. As a result of our largess, Gaza all 12 by 7.5 miles of it is an open-air prison, housing over 2 million souls. It is one of the densest places on the planet.
Is it any wonder they have a very active resistance movement? Isn’t it time to send in UN troops to provide security and keep the peace? Isn’t time to free Palestine?

I agree with Genevieve Fraser’s letter [“A glorified shell game] that it is unfair for public sector workers to pay into Social Security if they are unable to collect it. I would support Congressman Richard Neal’s solution as long as an equal amount of taxpayers’ portion of the public sectors’ portion of the pension program were to be withheld from employees and returned to the taxpayers who are forced to support a benefit that they have no hope of ever benefiting from.
In fact I would like to see the pension program for current public sector employees completely dismantled. The employees’ portion contributed should be rolled over to a 401K and all money reserved and funded by taxpayers be returned to the taxpayers. The state and federal sector workers should then receive no more than 5% match from taxpayer funds. Even this is far more generous than most employers in the private sector pay toward most taxpaying workers. Fair
