Letter: Send in the troops
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Much has been made of the fact that the current bombing of Serbia is the first time Nato has attacked a sovereign state. True, but the US - senior and heavyweight member of Nato - has a history of doing just that. Vietnam, and more recently Iraq, the unjustified bombing of the Sudan pharmaceutical factory. All have failed to achieve their objectives.
It is time that the equation USA equals Nato equals UN - commonly held in the US - is seen for what it is: might is right.
There will be winners from this war - the arms dealers and manufacturers.
