We ask you to listen to veterans who say 'Enough is Enough—War is Not the Answer.'

I am writing you as a proud member of Veterans For Peace and its former president. We have been following the war in Ukraine closely, since well before the Russian invasion on February 24 of this year. We were alarmed when you and President Obama supported the regime-change coup in Ukraine in 2014, which was openly cheered on by the State Department's Victoria Nuland, and spearheaded by self-described Nazis.

We watched in horror as those same self-described Nazis set fire to an Odessa union building full of Ukrainians who were protesting a new law outlawing the Russian language as an official language of Ukraine. 50 people were burned alive or shot and beaten to death. This in a country with a long history with Russia and millions of Russian speakers.

Russian president Putin repeatedly warned and almost begged the US and NATO: Do not push your hostile military forces any further onto Russia's borders. Taking Ukraine into NATO would cross a serious"red line." Russian troops then massed along the border with Ukraine, in a clear show of force.
