This is the future the Biden Administration risks by escalating the war in Ukraine. However, we can choose a different future. Recent history illuminates a practical path to peace. 

According to US National Security Council official Fiona Hill and former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett, Ukraine and Russia agreed on the terms of a negotiated peace in March 2022. Russia pledged to retreat to pre-invasion lines and Ukraine pledged not to join NATO in exchange for security guarantees from a number of Western countries. Both Bennett and Hill tell the same story. Leaders from Washington and London arrived to scuttle the deal and prolong the conflict in the hopes of exhausting the Russian military on the grist of Ukrainian teenagers. 

As President I will revive the peace that almost was. I will negotiate in good faith and propose that Russia pull out of the territory it has seized in eastern Ukraine. UN peacekeepers will ensure the safety of ethnic Russians there and maintain order so that people can rebuild. In return, I will remove Aegis missile systems from Russia's borders and pull NATO troops out of the region. 

This week, as we mark the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we must ask ourselves: Is having Ukraine in NATO worth even the slightest risk of a nuclear winter killing 99% of the people living in the United States today? Is it worth the cost already being paid -- hundreds of thousand of casualties, millions of refugees? Is it worth the billions of American dollars drained from our food banks, our hospitals, our schools and instead detonated in foreign lands to rip young flesh from bone? Is "weakening Russia" worth higher gas bills, higher grocery prices, higher utility bills, higher housing costs, and too little money in your bank account to pay for them? Tell me, President Biden, how is it worth all this to fight a war that could have ended a month after it began?

You and I know it's not worth it. With your support, I will lead our nation onto a path to peace.
