reasons to end nukes
We don't want to be at war with Russia
Make a Peace Agreement NOW
One of the stated Goals of US Foreign Policy is →
“to build and sustain a more Secure World
for the benefit of the American people
and the International community".
YET, our government isn't doing this at all.
They are building and trying to sustain a more secure world by prolonging and fueling a harmful war? So you think having a war going on, or escalating a war even further into a Larger War, gives us a more “secure world”?
Hello? Anyone there?
How the heck is America or Europe or anywhere in the world “more secure” by sustaining the war (and the insecurity), or by escalating the war even more (leading towards a World War III) – rather than “build and sustain a more Secure World” – as is stated as the primary Goal of the US Policy?
YET, Biden and Congress are escalating us all into an even larger 'lack of security' -- (by escalating a war with Russia). For instead of building a more “secure” world”; the US and Europe are building a more 'insecure' world -- by escalating and risking an even Larger War. And instead of “sustaining” a secure world; We are sustaining War and Death and Destruction and Dangerous Risks to everyone's personal safety and security.
Mr. President and Congress – I and many many others (Who Do Vote btw) would feel Much More Secure IF you'd back off from your increasing War Threats and War Agenda, in relation to Russia.
INSTEAD of the current US Policy of escalating and prolonging this war with Russia; the US ought to be 'building a sustainable peace and security' between the US and Russia.
YOU are Risking our lives, and prolonging the death and destruction in Ukraine, and Spending evermore $$Billions on attempting to “win” a war against Russia – which almost all military analysts say is “unwinnable” by military means -- and therefore will have to be resolved, sooner or later, by a Peace Settlement. Well then, Why Wait any longer? Make the Peace Settlement Now – rather than later or next year (after thousands of more Ukrainian and Russian people are killed, and after much of the Ukrainian land is destroyed, and after bankrupting the global economy).
WE, North America and Europe, have to all live together with Russia, and we would prefer to live peacefully and safely with Russia – rather than be continually at War or in a relationship of Despise, Threats, and War.
We Want a Secure World with Russia – not a Dangerous World with Russia !
In the 60's and 70's many of us as kids had nightmares about being “nuked” in a war with the Soviets. We even had nuclear war drills in school, with loud sirens telling us that a nuclear bomb was heading our way. Thankfully, those were just drills and no war ever happened. Then, after the Soviet Union disbanded, there was Hope and Expectation for lasting Peace and Security. BUT NOW... Biden and the 'Military & Weapons industry Congress' have brought us all back into Immediate Danger of an escalated war with Russia and a possible Nuclear World War.
Gee, Thankyou Biden and Congress! ...for making our lives more insecure, in danger, and also for spending so much of our money on foreign wars – rather than spending our money on People Here in America and on solving our own domestic and environmental problems.
Back in the 60's and 70's and decades proceeding, the US Policy was to actually Dialogue with the Soviet Union and then with Russia. But Now, with Biden, we are told that Biden is “proudly” Not going to have any Dialogue and Peace Talks -- because that shows “weakness.” Well I don't know about that, Mr. President, because an unwillingness to Dialogue sounds more like a Lack of courage.
Again, We All have to live in this same world together, and the mentally-sane people will agree that it is better to live together in Peace, not war. And to achieve Peace together, all parties in a conflict need to dialogue and make compromises – just like any inter-relational conflict can only be resolved with dialogue and some willingness to listen to the needs of the 'other' and be willing to make some compromises. Only bullies and psychopaths insist on using fists and weapons to “resolve” conflicts, rather than use dialogue and friendship-building.
Start the needed Dialogue!
And…. Make a long-term Peace Agreement with Russia.
No More War.
No More Bad Relations with Russia.
And Stop Putting us all in Danger!
We Don't Want an escalated War.
We Don't Want a prolonged War.
We Want to live in Peace - not war.
Move ON. Make a Peace Agreement ...NOW!
In advocating for Peace not war; we are not anti Ukraine. We hope the very best for the Ukrainian people. But we cannot afford to escalate our participation in this war with Russia. It is Too Expensive and also Dangerous for us, and it even risks a global economic collapse.
It is a shame and embarrassment that the current US government gave such bad advice to the Ukraine government, advising them to not settle the issue earlier with a peace deal, but instead advising them to “fight on”, “your blood and our weapons”, which just happened to be beneficial for “US Interests” and attempting to “weaken Russia”, according to Nuland, Blinkon, and numerous congress persons. Sorry Ukraine, our apologies for such stupid advice. But we cannot get into a US-European war with Russia over this. Ukraine, Europe, the US, and Russia all need to live peacefully together on this One Planet; so we all need to make compromises and work out a long-term Peace Agreement.
War will never result in long-term Peace among nations.
Stop the war.
It's time NOW for a Peace Agreement.
Many very smart people in America and around the world are Opposed to this war and have been calling for a Peace Agreement to end it. (even though you never hear this from the corporate-owned media and news – because the major media channels have been censoring these Voices for Peace and also censoring those with a wide knowledge of the various causes and history regarding this war.
–One such person is Jeffrey Sachs, a world-respected economist, political analyst, and top UN advisor for sustainable development. He is Very Concerned about the war in Ukraine soon becoming a full-scale US-European War with Russia.

→ Also Read 'How America blew up the Nord Stream Gas Pipeline' – How the US secretly planned & executed blowing up the gas pipeline between Germany and Russia... because the U.S. did not want Russia to be a major source of inexpensive natural gas for Europe.
This is from a recent article by the investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, one of the most respected and awarded journalist of our time, a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and numerous other honors, and who has worked for The New York Times and the New Yorker. The article is titled 'How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline' – with a CIA covert sea operation that was kept secret until now. With information from inside-government sources “with direct knowledge of the operational planning”, the article details how the US government secretly planned and executed the blowing up of the gas pipeline that was supplying Germany with Russian natural gas. And all of this was even kept secret from the Germans who were benefiting from the pipeline. According to Hersh's inside-sources, “The Biden administration began planning the act of sabotage in Dec 2021, before Russia invaded.” Also before the invasion, on Feb 7, 2022 during a press conference with the German Chancellor, Biden blurted out to reporters that “There will be no longer a Nord Stream 2... We will bring an end to it.” The reporter then inquired, “but how will you do that?” and Biden responded, “I promise, we will be able to do it.”

This aggressive and internationally unlawful act by Biden and his advisors is, by international standards, an Act of War against Russia.... as well as a major slap-down on Germany and German citizens. And because this would be considered an act of war, this reckless action by the Biden administration has now Endangered All Americans and our own infrastructure and pipelines, if Russia chooses to proportionately retaliate.
...Furthermore, this secret operation was unconstitutionally kept secret from the Senate Intelligence Committee, according the Sen. Mike Lee. And in addition, scientists have estimated that record-breaking 100,000-400,000 tons of climate-harming methane was released from this blown-up gas pipeline.

Also Read how the US and UK continually “blocked” Peace Agreements between Ukraine and Russia – because continuing the war was in “US Interests.”
– There are many articles recently about how former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett had made significant progress in mediating a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in early March 2022 shortly after Russia invaded. The former Israeli PM said that peace was a possibility at this time, but the US and its allies ‘they blocked’ the peace process. He said, “I think there was a decision by the West to keep striking Putin and not negotiate.” In the peace agreement, Zelensky agreed that he would not seek NATO membership, which Bennett said was the “reason” for the Russia’s invasion, while Putin agreed to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and not to insist on Ukraine demilitarizing and denazifying.
Then, later in March, Turkish President Erdogan began mediating peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul, and Putin publicly said that a deal was close. But the negotiations ended when Boris Johnson traveled to Kyiv to urge Zelensky to abandon the peace talks, and from this time on Ukraine and the US refused to directly speak with Putin about a peace agreement. In late April, following the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting, the Turkish Foreign Minister stated, “there are those within the NATO member states that want the war to continue, let the war continue and Russia gets weaker. They don’t care much about the situation in Ukraine.”

Accountability for the money and weapons?
Also, some members of Congress have expressed concern that there has been NO Accountability for where the Ukrainian aide of over $100 Billion actually went. The Biden administration cannot provide any details, and it appears they don't intend to do so. Yet, when a Bill was proposed to formally investigate where the money actually went, Most Congress members objected and voted No... which begs the question of what exactly they want to hide about how the Billions were spent.

And... what happens to these weapons sent to Ukraine?
The US government admittedly doesn’t really know.
–Some in Congress are concerned that, given a documented history of illicit arms-trafficking in Ukraine, the sophisticated weapons might find their way to terrorist organizations. The Biden administration even admitted that the US doesn’t have the ability to fully track all the shipments, acknowledging the possibility that “some of the shipments may ultimately end up in unexpected places.”
–From CNN Politics, “sources tell CNN that the US has few ways to track the substantial supply of anti-tank, anti-aircraft and other weaponry it has sent across the border into Ukraine, and some of those weapons may wind up in the hands of other militaries and militias.” Thus, some of the weapons “could find their way to the black market, risking not only US national security, but that of our European allies.” Jordan Cohen, a defense and foreign policy analyst at the CATO Institute and who focuses on arms sales, said “the biggest danger surrounding the flood of weapons being funneled into Ukraine is what happens to them when the war ends or transitions into some kind of protracted stalemate.” Evidence from recent history shows that “inevitably, some weapons ended up on the black market, including Stinger missiles, which we are now providing to Ukraine.” This occurred from US weapons sent to Afghanistan and to Saudi Arabia – where they found their way into the hands of al-Qaeda and Iran.

though this webpage was recently removed by the government.
Also, according to a 2017 Small Arms Survey on arms trafficking (smallarmssurvey.org & Measuring Illicit Arms Flows: Ukraine 2017), “over 300,000 small arms disappeared from Ukraine between 2013 and 2015 and only 13 percent were recovered. Criminal networks, corrupt officials, and underpaid military personnel can make a profitable business from the sale of arms from Ukrainian military stockpiles. And in 2019 Ukrainian soldiers were caught in a blackmarket exchange to sell 40 RGD-5 grenades, 15 grenade launchers, 30 grenade detonators, and 2,454 rounds of ammunition, and all this for about $3,000 US dollars.”
So just imagine how many more weapons a terrorist group could buy with a lot more money. Yet Biden's National Security advisors seem to lack any concern over Ukraine’s history of political corruption and the probability that many of the weapons sent could be sold in the black market, risking not only US national security but also the security of our European allies.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have reportedly consumed an average of 100,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition per month, which is about 10 Times more than the US and NATO anticipated, and the story is similar for Stingers, Javelins, HIMARS, and other critical weapons.
Did These Weapons get Sold on the Blackmarket?
