Yesterday, President Biden made an appeal for diplomacy to continue as the world anxiously waits to see if Russian President Putin orders and invasion of Ukraine. In a speech from the White House, the President said that the U.S. and it’s allies are not a threat to Russian citizens and that there’s ‘plenty’ of room for diplomacy with Russia to avoid the conflict. The President told Russians he did not believe they wanted ‘a bloody destructive war against Ukraine.’ He used World War II as an example and pointed out that Americans and Russians ‘fought and sacrificed side by side in the worst war in history.’ Biden also said that the U.S. is ‘proposing new arms control measures, new transparency measures and new strategic stability measures’ adding that the measures ‘apply to all parties, NATO and Russia alike.’
