Mr. Fonzi’s July 19 opinion article (“What a tangled web we weave“) pointed the finger at Andrew Christie of the Sierra Club for the group’s connection to Russian money, when he should have used his words to sound the clarion call to his Republican colleagues who still belie the Mueller investigation. The Russians, it seems, have wiggled their way into all areas of American life—maybe even the NRA.
When it comes to fossil fuels, the Russians depend heavily on energy revenue; of course they are sewing discord over climate change and fossil fuel production. Common sense should say “enough already”; consuming an Olympic-size swimming pool’s worth of oil every 15 seconds will destroy this planet.
