I’m glad to see that Paula Angelone, Ph.D, in “The American Way” letter [November 14], acknowledges that President-elect Donald Trump will end the war in Ukraine and bring peace to the Middle East.
Ms. Angelone criticizes the president-elect if he solves all the problems that plague us as wrong because they are solved via a skewed narrative. The Trump narrative. That, Ms. Angelone, is called leadership. Something that in the last four years we saw nothing of the kind.
The reality is, solving conflict in complex situations requires compromise by all parties. If Trump had been our president the last four years, we wouldn’t have had to clean up the mess the current administration has left us.
Approximately 200,000 Ukrainian and Russian soldiers have been killed in this conflict. A solution to stop the killing is currently better than the continued killing to sustain a war that will result in no winners.
Additionally, the conflict in the Middle East has been precipitated by Hamas invading Israel, killing thousands and holding hundreds hostage. Presently, there is no plan on freedom for hostages, nor how to bring peace to the Middle East.
Yet, within the next eight weeks Trump will have a plan for peace and a solution that allows for the possibility of peace in the future. None of this will be easy, but the reality is that we are better off knowing Donald Trump will lead our nation and not Harris/Walz.
I believe America breathed a sigh of relief that our country is now in better hands, with a real chance to change who we are as a nation and how we view our role on shaping world events now and in the future. I wish much success to our next president, who has already succeeded in building a consensus of how leadership looks in a very complicated world.
The Biden administration has been an abject failure of leadership not only domestically but internationally. The task before us will have many pitfalls ahead, but now we have a leadership team that the entire world can now rally around, as once again we will be the force of good with a commitment towards a safer world.
