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.

As a conservative, I agree with Marianne here. She’s offering sanity. I know my announcing agreement with her as a conservative is not helping her cause— but some things cut across the whole political spectrum. I want a president strongly dedicated to world peace.

I like some of your ideas for our country but you're way too naive when it comes to world politics. Countries like Russia China Iran and North Korea don't want to collaborate with the USA they want to destroy us no matter how you approach them.

Its absurd. Any country close to China gets punished. E.g. South Africa. Who merely happen to be part of BRICS, a group that includes India! The US says SA is close to Russia, yet India does a ton of trade with Russia. And has even abandoned the $ for such trade. Laughable 😆
