Former state legislator Mike Jaros of Duluth wrote in a column in the News Tribune on March 19: “I believe Putin would like to rule the world — or at least the part of the world close to Russia. I hope he will not control or rule Ukraine, because if he succeeds there, he no doubt will probably want to also take Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Moldova, Romania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia” (Local View: “Putin doesn't want to conquer just Ukraine”).
What we've learned so far is that the whole civilized world won't step in to stop him from doing just that because, he says, "I've got nuclear weapons."

Letters are limited to 300 words, must be the original work of the author and must be exclusive to the News Tribune. Letters are edited for style, space, accuracy and civility.
Letter writers are limited to one published submission every 30 days.
With rare exceptions, the News Tribune does not publish poetry; letters that are anonymous, libelous or attack other writers; consumer-complaint letters; thank-you letters; or letters generated by political or special-interest campaigns.
We will consider exclusive Local View columns of 600 words or fewer. Authors should possess unique insights, and their commentaries should demonstrate greater knowledge of their subject than letters.
