What if we...
It is time for the USA to stop looking for and creating enemies. China is not our enemy. It is time to cut the bloated War Department budget in half and use half to build the best sustainable, peaceful nation we can be. We poses no legitimate moral high ground. It is time to flush stale lies like manifest destiny, dominion, and nation building (read meddling covertly in the affairs of other countries) and join the world as a nation among nations. If we take these actions, then perhaps we will stand a chance of averting Climate Catastrophe.
