Northport BOE budget vote, trustee elections set for May 17 BY CHRIS MELLIDES DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Ahead of the May 17 budget vote and board of education election, Northport-East Northport school district’s current trustees, along with a new contender, see a promising future for their community. There are three open seats on the Northport-East Northport school board that will be filled later this month. Incumbents — current president Larry Licopoli, Allison Noonan and Thomas Loughran — have competition from Nassau County police officer Frank Labate. Several issues are at play in the district from the Long Island Power Authority glide path woes, to declining student enrollment and unfinished learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the candidates said they are resolute in their student-centric focus. “While one answer is to protect our fiscal ability to preserve our programs by balancing the LIPA glide path, declining enrollment, anticipated increases in state aid and potential expense side reductions, the essential answer for a board and community is to always keep our eyes on the prize — our students,” Licopoli said. The proposed 2022-23 budget is $177,856,084, which represents a budget-tobudget increase of 1.81%. The tax levy increase is 0.61%, which involves an additional sum to average taxpayers of $49.79. There have been no tax levy increases for the last two successive fiscal years, according to Licopoli. “This year’s 0.61% increase on the

Historical perspective: Remembering our local liberators

BY RICH ACRITELLI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM “The same day I saw my first horror camp. It was near the town of Gotha [in Germany]. I have never felt able to describe my emotional reactions when I first came face to face with indisputable evidence of Nazi brutality and ruthless disregard of every shred of decency. Up to that time I had known about it only generally or through secondary sources. I am certain, however, that I have never at any other time experienced an equal sense of shock.” — Supreme Allied Cmdr. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower At that moment almost 78 years ago, Hitler’s Third Reich was rapidly crumbling away. This was in large part due to the massive strength of Eisenhower’s armies, which were determined to finish the war in Europe. With the end in sight, Allied soldiers entered German soil with the hope of receiving a speedy surrender. During this advance, American soldiers quickly noticed that the enemy had some notable similarities to their own countrymen. The German population was similar in size to the American middle class, and lived in heated homes surrounded by picturesque natural beauty from the German and Austrian landscapes. As Allied forces continued their eastward push, however, any feelings of closeness with the enemy quickly evaporated, as they had come to learn of Hitler’s “final solution.” American soldiers, many from neighborhoods along Long Island’s North Shore, had discovered and liberated the German death camps. For the men who witnessed this shocking brutality, these experiences would never be forgotten. Although hardened by the Battle of the Bulge and other combats against a fanatical resistance unwilling to surrender its losing cause, Americans were utterly unprepared for the scenes at these camps. Some had heard of the cruel treatment inflicted by the Nazis, but they were horrified after entering these camps. At once, the medics distributed food, water and medical treatment to save as many lives as they could. After visiting the Ohrdruf concentration camp on April 12, 1945, a sickened Eisenhower said, “We are told the American soldier does not know what he is fighting for. Now, at least, we know what he is fighting against.” Renowned journalist and

radio broadcaster Edward R. Murrow accompanied the American 6th Armored Division into the Buchenwald concentration camp. Laying witness to the atrocities, he reported, “I pray you to believe what I have said about Buchenwald. I have reported what I saw, but only part of it. For most of it I have no words. ... If I’ve offended you by this rather mild account of Buchenwald, I’m not in the least sorry. I was there.” Diplomat Robert Murphy was also present to see the conditions of these camps. He recalled: “The inmates liberated by our forces were skeletons. … It was enough to make strong men weep — and some American officers did so unabashedly.” Many American soldiers were ordered to see these camps for themselves, as Eisenhower wished to prevent any future deniers of the Holocaust.

Two local heroes

Among these soldiers was the late John D’Aquila, resident of Belle Terre. A member of the 11th Armored Division, he served under Gen. George S. Patton’s famed Third Army. D’Aquila was a native of Middletown,

Connecticut, who landed in France during the Battle of the Bulge. As a medic, he was ordered toward the strategic Belgian town of Bastogne which was surrounded by German forces. During one of the worst winters in recorded history, D’Aquila treated wounded soldiers as they turned back this German offensive. For his valiance and unceasing treatment of wounded servicemen, D’Aquila received a Purple Heart after being wounded during this battle. Like many other soldiers at the end of this war, D’Aquila wondered if he would survive. On May 5, 1945, the 11th Armored Division entered the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. By the end of the war, those camps in Central Europe had considerably higher death rates as they were the last to be captured by Allied forces. D’Aquila remembered the inability of the local Austrian citizens to accept responsibility for the savagery committed there, despite the stench of death that hung in the air, the piles of bodies stacked up “like cordwood.” After the war, D’Aquila attended college and later earned a degree in

law, where he defended the interests of insurance companies. Locally in Port Jefferson, he was on the board of directors of Theatre Three, and a play was later created by Jeffrey Sanzel, “From the Fires: Voices of the Holocaust.” Until his death, D’Aquila openly addressed his wartime experiences because he wanted to ensure that citizens, especially the youth, did not forget the severity of the Holocaust. In 2008, D’Aquila described his experience of liberating Mauthausen during a Veterans Day program at Rocky Point High School. As though it had just occurred, D’Aquila spoke of his duty to medically care for the survivors of the concentration camp as they were finally being liberated. At another program at the high school, D’Aquila joined Werner Reich, who had survived Theresienstadt, Auschwitz and Mauthausen, and was liberated by the 11th Armored Division. Reich was a 17-year-old young man who weighed only 64 pounds at the time of his liberation. In this condition, he was not expected to survive. At RPHS, he looked at the

audience and vividly stated that if it had not been for Americans like D’Aquila, then he would have surely perished from starvation. Although from different backgrounds, both men were inextricably tied to one another through their shared experience of “man’s inhumanity to man.” For years, Reich has spoken to high schools across the North Shore to ensure that good people do not stand by when innocent people suffer from such atrocities. Even though World War II ended long ago, the world now watches history repeat itself through the images of fighting in the Ukraine. Americans are again learning of the massive losses of Ukrainian civilians suspected of being killed by Russian forces. People such as D’Aquila and Reich made it their mission in life to alert people that history will repeat itself if good people do nothing. We must learn from the examples of the past, we must always act, protect and preserve the rights and freedoms of people everywhere. Rich Acritelli is a history teacher at Rocky Point High School and adjunct professor at Suffolk County Community College.

Huntington Hospital to plant 1,850 trees for babies delivered last year BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM A tree grows in Huntington. When Huntington Hospital finishes its tree planting effort, 1,850 of them will grow. Huntington Hospital will participate in Northwell Health’s initiative to plant a tree for each of the 30,500 babies born in its hospitals in 2021. The babies born through the Northwell system, which includes Long Island Jewish Forest Hills, South Shore University Hospital, and Lenox Hill Hospital and six others, accounted for 15% of the births in New York and 1% of the total in the country. “Northwell is committed to keeping our communities well — and to doing it in the most socially responsible way,” Donna Drummond, Northwell’s chief sustainability officer, said in a statement. “We believe that we will have a positive impact on the environment while providing our neighbors with a great way to commemorate a new life.” Northwell started planting trees at its 10 hospitals April 29, on the 150th anniversary of Arbor Day, which is the last Friday in April. At first, Northwell had considered planting plum trees, but those weren’t native to the area, so they planted cherry trees, said Adam Elbayar, senior project manager at Northwell.

extracurricular opportunities, the continuity of World Languages from grade five into grade six, along with increased physical education staffing in the elementary schools. Additionally, there will be an increased access to the district’s alternative high school Program of Resilient Teens Academy and a focus on students’ mental health through a partnership with Northwell Health. Educational and extracurricular opportunities are also being championed by the district. The budget also includes monies for continued instructional technology upgrades including interactive display panels in classrooms. TBR conducted interviews with the four BOE candidates Trustee Noonan said that she has had a very positive experience over the past year and is “excited to continue working on the board’s goals.” She, like the other board members, knows the importance of mental health when it comes to the district’s students and claims that a huge challenge facing the district is the students’ emotional well-being. “It will be imperative for us to offer a multilevel, interdisciplinary support system that includes an emphasis on educational and

The idea originated with Drummond, who suggested in a text to Elbayar that she wanted to plant a tree for each baby born in 2021. Elbayar said Northwell is still working out the logistics of where to plant the trees, which will contribute to several efforts, including reforestation and a community canopy initiative. Northwell plans to work with the Arbor Day Foundation as it searches for places to contribute these trees. “What we’re planting on Long Island may be different than the trees we plant” in other areas, particularly the ones that rejuvenate an area after a wildfire, Elbayar said. Northwell wants to focus on those areas where the need for trees is the highest and will use the tree equity score to find those neighborhoods that would benefit most from additional trees. Northwell plans to work closely with leadership in obstetrician and gynecological offices to put together material that will alert new mothers to the project. Part of the tree planting effort will include a children’s book new mothers receive in which the front page indicates that a tree was planted in honor of the child. From what Northwell currently expects many of the trees will be saplings. The tree planting effort at Northwell, which will cover the cost of the trees, represents one of several environmental initiatives at the health emotional wellness for all of our students for the foreseeable future,” Noonan said. Trustee Loughran believes in the effectiveness of the board and said that from “day one” — when he was sworn in — he “hit the ground running at 100 mph.” He also expressed the difficulties that he had to contend with when he became a board member, during which time he helped deal with a failing roof system at one of the district’s elementary schools, which resulted in the “complete reconstruction and relocation of two grade levels.” Loughran said he didn’t believe there were any problems with the budget. “This budget is the right budget for our community,” he said. “It further enhances opportunities for students and provides resources to help bridge the gap left in so many students’ social-emotional development because of disruptions over the past two-and-a-half years.” Labate said he is running because he wants to see incremental change applied to his district. The 30-year-old police officer has been a lifelong Northport resident and is a father of two. He said that the main reason for running in the BOE election is because he was asked by his own parents to do so. Labate’s parents didn’t think that their views were being represented in the district,

care company, including recycling and waste minimization. Northwell’s goal is to make this an ongoing project, Elbayar said. Elbayar said Northwell is pleased to join

several other companies, including L’Oreal and Met Life, that are planting trees to boost reforestation and support the environment. “There has been a lot of great work by other companies in this space,” Elbayar added.

so the young candidate has taken the initiative. “I believe in my values, and I believe that they are worth fighting for right now,” he said. Labate, who if elected will be the youngest trustee to ever serve on the board, recalled a recent BOE meeting where Licopoli sided with the New York State mask mandate for all students. Labate chose to “disagree with that moral choice.”“Never again should children suffer because our local leaders didn’t stand up for what was right,” Labate said. “I will deliver a devotion to our children as our highest moral standard, and the values of this community will guide me in Northport-East Northport school district residents will vote on the that pursuit.” As a law enforcement officer, budget May 17.

DA launches animal/environmental crimes unit Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney (R) announced Thursday, April 28, the establishment of a first-of-its-kind combined unit for the prosecution of animal and environmental crimes. The program will require assistant district attorneys on the team to meet with animal victims and personally contribute to environmental projects throughout Long Island as part of the DA’s pro bono initiative. “I’m very proud of this initiative,” said Tierney. “The abuse of animals in Suffolk County will not be tolerated and we are going to ensure that individuals charged with environmental offenses will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We have one of the strongest legal advocates for animals and the environment on our team and he’s going to ensure no case falls through the cracks.” Libby Post, executive director of the New York State Animal Protection Federation, expressed her support for these efforts. “The Federation commends Suffolk County DA Tierney for taking this unprecedented step forward in combating animal abuse in Suffolk County,” she said. “We need more district attorneys to take animal crimes more seriously and the establishment of the Biological, Environmental and Animal Safety Team, with an apt acronym of BEAST, will show other DAs across New York what they can do.” Post added, “We know that crimes against animals are gateway crimes that too often include domestic violence. Taking animal crimes seriously is crucial for our companion animals and the people who care for them.” Joanne Yohannan, senior vice president of operations at the Port Washington-based North Shore Animal League America, offered support of the BEAST unit as well. “We applaud any mandate that keeps the prosecution in animal crimes cases connected to their victim as well as the shelter staff while the case is pending,” Yohannan said. “We know all too well the impact and toll these cases take on an entire animal welfare organization and the importance of staying connected.” The Biological, Environmental and Animal Safety Team (BEAST) will be led by Assistant District Attorney Jed Painter. DA Tierney recruited Painter from the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office, where he had served as chief of animal crimes for 11 years. As BEAST Team Leader, Painter will oversee a crew of nine other prosecutors and one support staff member that work with law enforcement at the local and county levels. For accountability and consistency, all violations of the state’s laws protecting animals and the environment are specially assigned to BEAST. Painter is also the co-chair of the Animal Crimes Committee of the New York State District Attorney’s Association. He has received the prestigious “Prosecutor of the Year” Award

from the New York Prosecutors Training Institute and his work related to animal crimes has earned him the Humane Law Enforcement Award from the National Sheriffs Association and the Humane Society of the United States. “Suffolk County communities will benefit from increased prosecution of illegal animal cruelty,” said Brian Shapiro, New York State director for the Humane Society of the United States. “Animal crimes are often linked to drugs, guns, domestic violence and other abuse. We applaud DA Tierney for establishing the Biological, Environmental and Animal Safety Team, which will help bolster animal protection work in the county.” The team has established a list of protocols it must adhere to when prosecuting these specialized types of cases. BEAST ADAs are required to personally

meet with the animal victims in animal cruelty cases, a first-of-its-kind initiative. For environmental prosecutions, BEAST has coordinated with the court and outside agencies to create a community service program that will focus on beach clean-up, trail clean-up, and other environmentallyrestorative projects. For animal cruelty prosecutions, BEAST will collect all registry and protective orders relating to animals, coordinate periodic compliance checks, and prosecute resultant offenses. BEAST ADAs will also personally contribute to environmental projects throughout the Island as part of Tierney’s office pro bono initiative. ADA’s on the team are required to be oncall to law enforcement for warrants and field guidance 24/7/365.

BEAST has met with members of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and shelter leadership and is continuing to meet with non-profit and municipal shelters around Long Island. Apart from in-house training, BEAST ADAs have attended specialized training with the NYS Animal Protection Federation and ASPCA at the New York State Police Academy in Albany. DA Tierney has already hired a detective for animal crimes who came from NYPD’s animal cruelty investigation squad to add to the existing team of animal and environmental investigators. These individuals will be detailed to BEAST for more centralized and consistent enforcement throughout Long Island. Suffolk County residents can contact BEAST directly at BEAST@suffolkcountyny.gov. Always call 911 in the event of an emergency.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and

filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT.

That’s how many awards Times Beacon Record won this year.

We are pleased to announce our latest awards from our New York Press Association Colleagues!

INNOVATIVE AD PROJECT SECOND PLACE The Village Times Herald

84130

“Great marriage of talent and time for the dark times of COVID-19. It can be hard to support the arts, and this is a great way to do it. I stalked your social channels and saw some nice promotional posts, too. Maybe I missed it, but a photo gallery with ALL the entries would be nice. I think this one will get better and better.”

BEST ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN SECOND PLACE The Village Times Herald Beth Heller Mason & Sharon Nicholson

HudsonWineFoodFest22_2x2.crtr - Page 1 - Composite

SAVE THE DATE

“The Buttercup’s Dairy Store campaign was such a sweet set of ads. I loved that they decided to focus on a few items for their specials. You can tell exactly who the ad is for. And the anniversary ad with the old photos is what did it for me. That level of personalization included into an ad would make me want to shop there! I’d love to hear their stories. Awesome job!”

SPORTS WRITER OF THE YEAR SECOND PLACE The Times of Huntington, Northport and East Northport Steven Zaitz

MAY 28 & 29, 2022 THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT

Columbia Co. Fairgrounds, Chatham, NY

Information & tickets available on-line at:

“Zaitz’s game coverage is very detailed with multiple sources used for quotes adding perspective. He gets his reader intimately familiar with the teams and athletes he’s writing about.”

“Good reporting of a difficult story. Some editors don’t like quote heavy pieces, but I always prefer to use a quote rather than paraphrasing whenever possible, whether it be a person or court document.”

SPORTS ACTION PHOTO(S) THIRD PLACE The Times of Smithtown Bill Landon

“Great action shots of the game, as well as a reaction shot of the win. The combination shows just what this win meant for the team.”

BEST ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN THIRD PLACE The Village Times Herald Beth Heller Mason & Sharon Nicholson

“I’m amazed on the number of runs this ad had and that each time it was very different. I can tell that this took some time. The use of graphics is excellent. Great job!”

Hold on to your pup The warm weather is here, which means more people will be out walking, many with their furry best friends. It’s important to remember to keep your dog on a leash, whether when walking down the street, in a park or along the beach. Some may think that their dog is friendly and wouldn’t hurt a fly — and they may be right — but that doesn’t mean that other dogs share the same demeanor. It’s important to note that dogs are territorial. In the April 28 Ask the Vet column by Dr. Matthew Kearns, the veterinarian explained that the animals are hardwired to protect their territory. If they feel threatened, they will feel the need to defend themselves. Certain movements may also trigger them. Dogs can hurt other animals and humans. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are an estimated 4.5 million dog bites to people every year in the U.S. Dog bites can lead to a need for medical care and even fatalities. It’s also possible for a dog off-leash to chase after smaller critters. The chase could lead to danger to wildlife and animals running out into busy streets. It’s also healthier for dogs to be walked with a leash as it lessens the chances of them engaging with other dogs, which can increase the spread of diseases such as distemper, and they are less likely to sniff droppings from other animals. Plus, if your dog does get away from you, the leash signals that it belongs to someone, and the person who finds the pet knows to first look for a collar and ID. Walking your dog on a leash also shows courtesy to your neighbors as pet owners have more control over where their dog goes when they have a hold on them. The lawn down the road is not your dog’s bathroom. Speaking of dogs and bathrooms, remember to bring a bag with you while walking your dog to clean up any mess they may make. With just a little care, dogs, humans and other animals can enjoy the great outdoors together and lessen the dangers that can occur.

Letter to the Editor I’m gonna sit right down and write myself a letter …

I couldn’t agree more with “Write to your local paper ... it’s common sense” [TBR News Media editorial, April 28]. Letters to the editor are some of the most widely read and popular content in any newspaper. Weekly newspapers such as TBR News Media, among others, offer readers a chance to speak out. The same can be said of daily newspapers, such as The Daily News, New York Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Newsday. There are also foreign language and other weekly newspapers across Long Island. Most newspapers print letters submitted by any writer, regardless of where that person may live, so long as the topic is relevant to readers.

It helps to have a snappy introduction, a good hook, timeliness and precision, and to have an interesting or unconventional viewpoint. This will improve your odds of being published. Many papers welcome letters which comment on their own articles and editorials, or which respond to previously published letters to the editor. While many of us have views about Washington and Albany, we also have unique opinions regarding our neighborhoods and communities on the issues which impact our own daily lives. I continue to be grateful that TBR News Media, along with other newspapers, affords me and my fellow letter writers the opportunity to express our views, as well as our often conﬂicting opinions on the issues of our day. Thanks to the local press, ordinary citizens have the freedom to

comment on the actions and policies of elected officials, holding the powerful accountable to the public. Let us thank those brave souls who are willing to take on the establishment and powerful special interest groups through the letters to the editor section. These writers fill a valuable niche in the information highway. Please join me along with your neighbors in reading all TBR News Media publications. Patronize their advertisers as they provide the necessary revenues to keep our local press afloat. Let advertisers know that you saw their ad. This keeps our neighbors employed, grows our local economy and provides space for your favorite — or not so favorite — letter writers.

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

Opinion A salute to mothers who maneuver through the unscripted

ure, the book “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” could be helpful. Until you’ve gone through pregnancy and had a child, you don’t really know what’s around the corner. Other parents sometimes expect you to follow their footprints to the promised land, which somehow didn’t always seem like the happiest place on Earth for them or their screaming kids. You hear about terms like first, second and third trimester, D. None which sound like safe little building blocks of the above you might want to BY DANIEL DUNAIEF play with on the floor, stacking one on top of another while Mozart plays blissfully in the background. But, really, so much of life, even during those days before childbirth, when moms are

expecting, doesn’t follow a script or textbook cue cards. My wife and I tried to keep at least a month ahead of the “nesting phase” and the “tired phase” among so many others in the books. We went to Lamaze classes where, despite being in our mid 30s, we felt remarkably young in New York City compared to so many other first-time parents in their late 30s and early 40s who were sharing pregnancy stories and preparing to “breathe, honey,” and to count the time in between contractions. Our birth plan went out the window when, after my wife’s three valiant days of pushing, our doctor decided to do a C section. How do you make important decisions when you’re beyond exhausted and when your excitement and anxiety seem to be in an extended foot race for your attention? Just before the doctor started the procedure, she told me that if I passed out at any time, they were going to leave me on the cold, concrete floor, stepping over me to tend to my wife and daughter.

Fortunately, everything worked out, despite the challenges for my wife of recovering from abdominal surgery that made even the simplest of motions, like rising out of a chair, difficult and painful. So, here we are, over two decades later, and we and others are still maneuvering around playbooks we’ve had to rewrite. It seemed fitting, given that it’s Mother’s Day this Sunday, to reach out to a few successful scientists — I cover science, so these are my peeps — to ask them a few questions. IACS Endowed Chair of Ecology & Evolution at Stony Brook University Heather Lynch explained some of the best parenting advice she got was to think of “running the household like running a business, and outsource what can be outsourced with zero guilt.” Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor and HHMI Investigator Leemor Joshua-Tor, meanwhile, said she learned to trust her gut, especially for the timing of discussions with her daughter. As her daughter enters her teenage years, Joshua-Tor has taken more of an advisory

role, letting her have more control over her life while offering a calming presence. Joshua-Tor wrote in an email that she thought “my daughter would have a good role model with a mom that had a fulfilling career and work life,” Joshua-Tor was pleased to hear her daughter bragging about her mom’s career. Lynch, who studies penguins that share parenting duties, credits marrying well for her parental success. She and husband, Matthew Eisaman, who has a joint appointment at Stony Brook and Brookhaven National Laboratory, “split things 50-50 and if I had to do even 51% of everything, I think this whole house of cards would collapse,” she explained in an email. Amid the pandemic, which wasn’t in any parenting textbooks (but probably will be in the future), Joshua-Tor said she tried to keep her daughter positive while ensuring her safety. As a parent, Joshua-Tor added, “nothing was as I expected, but how deep things hit you is a biggy.”

For more than 70 years, this theory actually worked in practice. Europe was a prime example. The British had already stopped fighting the French, who stopped fighting the Germans, who stopped attacking Slavic countries, and so on. Instead, they did business together, more or less peacefully, vacationed in each others’ mountains and on each others’ beaches and even formed what they called a European Union. It is not like the United States in that its 27 members must act unanimously or be expelled, but despite infighting, countries want to be in it. Once in, nations can enjoy more cheaply the fruits of economic transactions and a certain amount of financial support. The Russians were the world’s third largest producer of oil. They got some $123 billion of their export revenue from supplying crude oil to the rest of the globe, plus refined petroleumlike petrol and diesel at $66.2 billion, gas at $26 billion and coal at $18 billion (2019 figures), especially to neighboring European countries, including Ukraine. Russia was the largest exporter of wheat, plus iron and nickel, nitrogen-based fertilizers and a wide

variety of raw materials. If at war, Ukraine would halt its trade with Russia, which could affect Russia’s economy. So why would Russia start a war with its Ukrainian neighbor? It doesn’t make economic sense. There goes the theory that countries who trade together play nicely together. In fact, it is as if a bully in the schoolyard has begun beating up a smaller child who is supplying him with candy. President Putin says he fears the encroachment of NATO and must have a buffer between Russia and the other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that was organized expressly to defend against a possibly aggressive Russia. Churchill always considered Russia the biggest threat. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, nor of the European Union. Putin further says more that makes no sense about denazifying Ukraine. One thing seems to be obvious. Putin is not trying to grab Ukraine for its GDP. His army is pursuing a scorched earth attack, destroying apartment buildings, hospitals, industrial plants and whole cities, as it tries to establish a land bridge between the Donbas

in eastern Ukraine and Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014. This would afford Russia uninterrupted access to the Black Sea, a goal of landlocked czars for centuries. But what he is really after is power. Perhaps, Putin thought that his trade ties with other countries would keep them from interfering in his “special military operation” in Ukraine. No military riposte materialized after he grabbed Crimea. Perhaps he hoped his actions would serve to divide NATO members in their response to him. In fact, only Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, has refused to condemn Putin, straining what has been a Warsaw-Budapest alliance within NATO. On the opposite side of the spectrum, German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said that no one could assume Russia would not attack other countries given its violation of international law in Ukraine, and that he would support Finland and Sweden if they decided to join NATO. Scholz made his comments despite Germany’s dependence on Russia for most of its import of gas. So much for the hope that economic ties peacefully bind.

Hitler, Stalin and now Putin: History replays with a vengeance

he idea that wars would cease if countries were economically tied tightly together seemed to make sense to the world’s leaders immediately following World War II. It sounded like a reasonable premise. After all, why would any nation attack its neighbor if its economy depended on trading with that neighbor, right? In past centuries, wars were started to gain land and the riches they yielded. Before the Industrial Age, Between economies were you and me agrarian and depended BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF on land ownership. But by the middle of the 20th century, a huge variety of goods could be exchanged across borders cheaply, especially with advances in transportation. Countries could be locked together by mutual profit rather than by expensive and bloody wars.
