US Open - No Champion

LET US HAVE PEACE

Traveling to New York in August can be for two reasons. To watch the US Open. The best tennis player meet to find the best players. Or to watch the NPT RevCon. The best diplomats of the world meet at the UN to work on an agreement on nuclear risk reduction. The problem with the later the rules differ with the first event. The tennis player who won all games wins the trophy. Not so at the UN: In order to win you need to cooperate with everybody. In order to get an agreement all nations need to cooperate.

Well, what if not all nations are joining - lack of universality? Well, what if nations in the room are on war against each other - lack of peace? We are bound to fail. So did diplomats around the world in August at the UN.

With nuclear nations either not in the room (Israel, India, Pakistan, North Korea) or nuclear nations (Russia) fighting a war against another nation (Ukraine) in Europe we cannot agree.

We meet in 2026 again. LET US HAVE PEACE. Let us all meet in New York. For the Nuclear US Open.

It will be quite a bit of work for us to make it happen. Diplomats around the world deserve it — we could feel the spirit. Our generation wants to cooperate and to work together. Governments need to say — get out play the game of cooperation and bring back home the trophy of unity!

There is a lot of hope and willingness to success in our generation. Together.
