We have our quarrels on planet earth, but I always imagined, if the day came where an asteroid was on the way to destroy our planet, humans would throw our differences aside and cooperate to defeat the threat.
Imagine my disappointment when an existential threat hit The White House, and instead politicians from around the world came to Washington to kneel before it.
We clearly need more courage in politics.
@randahl Existential threats have nukes.
A lot of nukes.
We dont.

Ok, UK and France have some but they too live in polarized and unstable "winner takes it all" voting systems.
Nordic countries, Poland and the Baltic countries dont have nukes. And the "dont have nukes" actually have some courage to help Ukraine.
