President Putin could take a portion of the 100,000 troops deployed on the border of Ukraine to create a powerful and profound global influence of peace that very few may have anticipated.

President Vladimir Putin asserts Russian scientists have developed an "invincible" cruise missile. While scientists have sought invincibility by applying ever-advancing technologies, history has shown us this approach does not work. Adversaries inevitably devise ways to counter any system of offense or defense. However, there is a scientifically-validated way of achieving unquestioned invincibility for any leader who seeks it.

History shows that political resolutions cannot be achieved while tensions remain high.
