Dear President Putin:
My name is Robert Stryk. I am an American, the son of a Ukrainian immigrant, and a pacifist who believes the killing of Russians and Ukrainians must end. I am a libertarian. I believe in the rights of political opposition, religious minorities, and the LGB community. People should be free to speak, worship, disagree, and live the lives they choose. A powerful nation should not fear the freedom of its own citizens. I also believe President Donald J. Trump is the one leader capable of ending this war. America does not need Russia to surrender its patriotism, culture, or national identity. The Stryk Doctrine is simple: Modernize, Not Westernize. Russia can embrace prosperity, innovation, and individual opportunity without abandoning what it means to be Russian. But Ukraine must also have the right to exist as a sovereign nation and determine its own future. Russians, Ukrainians, and Americans share more than what divides us: family, faith, courage, national pride, and independence. We should not destroy one another while greater threats grow stronger. The Chinese Communist Party seeks economic and strategic dominance. Violent Islamist extremism threatens our people and our way of life. America and Russia should confront these dangers – not exhaust themselves fighting each other. Russia should not trade conflict with the West for dependence on Beijing. There is another path: peace, trade, private enterprise, property rights, investment, and capitalism. Russia’s people and resources could create far more
