Open Letter to the Fishermen of Killybegs

Once again, it’s time for you–my Irish cousins–to take action!

The president of the United States and NATO are afraid to confront Russia–to cross one of Putin’s many so-called “red lines.” And yet wasn’t the very reason NATO was created was to repulse a Russian attack on free Europe?

It was you, the fishermen of Killybegs, who confronted the Russian Navy and forced them to leave your fishing grounds alone in the North Atlantic. Now is the time to expand your fishing ground to the Black Sea. The mighty navies of NATO and the USA are afraid of igniting war with Russia. And yet, as Ukrainian President Zelensky continues to remind the world from his enclave in Kiev, the war with democratic Europe already began when Putin attacked democratic Ukraine utterly without justification.

And so I exhort you, the fishermen of Killybegs! Ukraine needs you to join them to stand up to Putin and spare his Russian soldiers and seamen from more senseless killing and dying!
