We, the peacemakers of global civilian diplomacy - from throughout the USA and the rest of the world, write in eager anticipation and lead-up to your summit with Vladimir Putin. We are happy to note your role in achieving a ceasefire in Gaza.

         It seems reasonable to predict that any meeting o­n the war between Russia and Ukraine is unlikely to achieve a similar victory, for obvious reasons. Such a meeting could, however, be used to lay the groundwork for a more fundamental victory in the spirit of John F. Kennedy's "zero war" project, which he announced at the UN in 1963.

         With all due respect, you could offer President Putin the historic initiative, a long-term strategic deal in the spirit of Kennedy's "zero war," implemented by the paradigm of Kant's "perpetual peace," as substantiated in our just-published book, "The Perpetual Peace Science Primer", attached and here: https://www.blurb.com/b/12585898-perpetual-peace-science-spheral-ai-sai-superiorit, as well as here: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=1288. To Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Perpetual-Peace-Science-Superiority-Thinking/dp/B0FXCZ7J2K

         US leadership in these regards goes back as far as Founding Father the Dr. Benjamin Rush, an early proponent of the "perpetual peace" that Kant's expanded upon. Rush's 1793 "Peace-Office" seems to us as poignant today as when he first proposed it in 1793. As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, some of those classic ideas could be returned to with improvement by you.

         Your deal with Putin, as an "America First" strategic initiative, could include agreement with him o­n o­nly two fundamental issues:

         1. Create within three months a joint "Academy of Perpetual Peace" o­n the "shoulders of giants" of historical peacemakers, consisting of approximately 50 humanities scholars, equally divided from each country, and hear their report, "Strategic Perspective for the Perpetual Peace Science Development," at a future date during your next summit with Putin.

         2. Establish within six months a joint strategic "Perpetual Peace Department" of 60 disarmament experts, equally represented by each country, with up to 30% of it representing civilian public diplomacy peacemakers, to plan the joint implementation of the "Strategic Perspective" for perpetual peace. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine could be the top item for consideration, for the world and between the leaders of the two global nuclear powers.

         We recognize your desire to leave a legacy that includes a historic global policy of "ending wars" in the interests of "Making America Great Again." This plan, we believe, would accelerate the achievement of a temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine and, at your initiative, overcome its palliative in the future in the mutual interest of all.

         We humbly send this message and the linked writings, therefore, with best wishes for your peacemaking victories in the future.

         Sincerely,

Dr. Matt Meyer,

The hard copies should be in my hands any day now, and the PDF is attached. (Published: https://www.blurb.com/b/12585898-perpetual-peace-science-spheral-ai-sai-superiorit, as well as here: https://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=1288). To Amazon: (https://www.amazon.com/Perpetual-Peace-Science-Superiority-Thinking/dp/B0FXCZ7J2K)

         Please note, below, the letter that was sent by me to US President Donald Trump (sent 21 October 2025) regarding our book and the upcoming planned USA-Russian heads-of-state summit. 

         I will be doing a formal launch of the book, along with several other new prominent titles, o­n the opening evening of the upcoming Biennial global conference of the International Peace Research Association (5 November 2025, Aotearoa/New Zealand). We'll also have photos and information for you all o­nce that event takes place.

         Please accept my warmest regards and thanks to all of you for our collaborative work together. And addition thanks is needed to Karl Seibert, son of Rudolf, for stepping forward as the first family funder helping with the production of this Edition. And, as always, a warm appreciation to our dear Leo, for always going the extra distance to keep us all together.

         Yours for Perpetual Peace Science, filled with justice and human rights for all,
