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.

This tweet, in which you blame the US for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the murderous acts that followed, is gold. You definitely should be POTUS someday.

Helped provoke? You're another puppet for a dictator victim blaming a nation that was invaded, whose populace has been brutalized, raped and murdered and whose children were stolen! Russia should get out of Ukraine and you should apologize.

If peace is more profitable than war, that’s the course the world will take. The “we share this planet” thinking won’t change anything The powerful operate on self-interest. Try taking even a little of the money and power they intend to pass onto their progeny. See what happens

Didn’t help to provoke. It started it. Back in 2014. This is just Russian response. Facts matter. Watch Ukraine on fire to learn the truth. Blessings

No let India join up with China, the two nations with the largest population on earth. I wouldn't vote for you either.

I’m liking your tweet because you are right. But you’ve consistently spouted imperialist-lite rhetoric regarding Russia.

Dear Ms. Williamson. The USA is not responsible for Russia invading Ukraine. This is a perfect example of why you should never be president. #Ignorance
