Letter to the editor: Putin's evil

What will dictators do to hold on to power? Such evilness by all means to hold on to power. Vladimir Putin jails or kills his political opposition. He has changed Russia’s Constitution and rigged the voting system to stay in power. The countless conjured-up reasons to invade Ukraine are just excuses to justify the means. Was the invasion for the oil, gas, minerals and breadbasket of the world? To keep NATO out?

Putin is threatening to use nuclear weapons and start another world war. It wasn’t long ago that another bully talked about using nuclear weapons.

He is targeting civilians, killing innocent children and old people and people in hospitals. He has bombed places where people were getting food and water to survive.

Putin seems to be like Hitler, wanting to exterminate everybody. Evilness begets evilness. Power is all-feeding, never-ending. Voter suppression and Putin’s world of death can be modeled everywhere. We have leaders who have sided with Putin, who have had secret meetings with him. They look up to him as a hero and a real smart genius.

Can’t anybody see the evilness? The truth?
