Goal: We call on the U.S. government to de-escalate military posturing and prioritize peaceful, diplomatic engagement with Russia.
The recent arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, met with a highly visible display of U.S. military power, highlights a concerning trend of escalating tension between two nuclear-armed nations. While some interpret these actions as strength, they risk provoking further hostility and undermine opportunities for meaningful dialogue.
