Ending the Cycle of Destruction

This isn’t just about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, nor is it solely about leaders like Putin being remembered as betrayers of their people and humanity. The core issue lies deeper—in humanity’s relentless cycle of aggression, destruction, and disregard for the world we all share.

Across the globe, aggression drains resources that could be used to address pressing issues like poverty, climate change, and inequality. Instead, these resources fund destruction, displacing millions and leaving economies in tatters. It’s a pattern we must break, not just for today, but for the survival of future generations.

Why This Matters:

• Peace Over Profit: Arms sales generate immense profit, but at the cost of lives, stability, and progress. Redirecting these resources can lead to innovations and industries that uplift rather than destroy.
• Economic Growth: Ending aggression enables nations to thrive through collaboration, trade, and sustainable development, reducing the burdens on economies absorbing the fallout from war and migration.
• A Shared Humanity: The global community must reject aggression in all its forms, prioritising collective progress over conflict.

The solution lies in unity—voices coming together to demand change, hold aggressors accountable, and push for policies that prioritize peace over destruction.
