    Sent two days ago,I don't think it'll be published as they did publish one from me a couple of weeks ago.

    Dear Sir / Madam

    I am aware that my serious concerns in regard to the war in Ukraine run counter to those of most Westerners, their politicians and pundits. I believe that the West is acting in bad faith, and we are now fighting a proxy war against the Russian Federation. This is confirmed by Ukraine’s own defence minister, Alexander Reznikov, who said yesterday in a TV interview “Today, Ukraine is addressing [the] threat (of Russia). We’re carrying out NATO’s mission today, without shedding their blood. We shed our blood, so we expect them to provide weapons.” That must be the very definition of a proxy war. I do not recall a single politician in the West telling their citizens we are fighting this war, or asking their permission to do so; even more so as to where this might ultimately lead, because, as Obama himself confirmed in 2015, Russia has escalatory dominance over Ukraine. I wonder if you’d publish this new article from the “National Review” (a leading US conservative media outlet). It is a rational and very welcome support to the views that I, and others, continue to hold.

    National Review

    Yours faithfully,
