The White House says Indian PM Modi’s visit is part of an effort to counter China. That is exactly the wrong mentality - similar to our attitude toward Russia that helped provoke the war in Ukraine.🧵

We need to begin a new era. The world is too dangerous a place for major powers to always be thinking in terms of “countering” each other. We share this planet.

Our goal should not be how to counter each other but rather how to collaborate with each other. From nuclear bombs to climate crisis to AI, the most critical issues must be faced together.

Stand firm for what we believe in, yes - and not be anybody’s fool - but we must free ourselves from the default perspective of us versus them, the reactive and oppositional mentality that inevitably leads to conflict.

Is this you?
.@marwilliamson on the importance of continuing to send weapons to Ukraine, her worry that the Left in America today "doesn't give any sense of agency" to Ukranians and why she "resents" other candidates in the race being referred to as the "peace candidate":

What provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine was Putin's desire to remake the USSR minus the communism.

The US did not provoke russia. russia invaded Ukraine with no other reason than to wipe out Ukrainians and expand its "russian culture". Have you seen the amount of war crimes russia committed? Are you trying to collaborate with murderers, rapists, and terrorists?

Hi! I think you’re amazing and plan to vote for you. However, I couldn’t ignore this. The US did not “help provoke” a war in Ukraine. Saying this takes agency away from Russia, and feeds the Putin-friendly narrative that ‘Russia had to invade Ukraine to combat Western aggression’
