LETTER: United States should take care of its own

Every year, the United States sends billions of dollars in aid — much more than any other country — to beneficiaries around the world in pursuit of its security, economic and humanitarian interests. So far the United States has sent Ukraine more than $75 billion toward its war effort.

We should not be the world’s police, and we need to take care of our military first.
