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.

The only way the world will be safe for our children’s children is if we learn to wage peace.

Correct. The Biden administration — indeed, the entire political establishment — is planning for war with China. What a cataclysmic disaster such a war would be. Instead we should be working for peace. No to war with China, no to WWIII. #peace #NoWar

This proves you don’t understand the world. How can you guide this Country if you fail to see that Russia is not the innocent victim you purport.

Your defending Putin’s war crimes is SUCH a bad decision. Putin was not provoked. Putin was empire building. He’s getting what he deserves.

Naive thinking. I admire your work but your naiveté on world politics is dangerous. Russia started the war in Ukraine. China and Russia are dangerous world powers if not held back by our alliances with other countries.

Yes ... There can be a Negative Attitude that can infect everything we do.

Do you know how many years that Joe Biden has been meddling in Ukraine? He also got his son a job at a oil company there. The Biden corruption runs deep

How do you propose that collaboration when societal issues are so vastly different around the world? The priorities of a place like China don’t care about human rights or climate issues. How do you coexist and collaborate when issues don’t align?
