New *shrug* Maybe I have no hope
I have no hope that human nature will chnage because of this. 10,000+ years of history don't provide much evidence of human wisdom ever increasing.

You see no possibility for good to come out of this even though countries that hated each other a week ago are now talking?

Who were our allies in WWII? Was not the Soviet Union in that group? Nations can be notoriously pragmatic and finicky about allegiences

New We either grow up some day ...
... or our technology and hate will eliminate life as we know it.

I'm hoping we have matured enough not to cause our own destruction.

Are you familiar with the Drake Equation?

Now is the time to show the world how mature the people of the world have become.
And the U.S. has the chance to take the lead if we can show a bit of restraint and compassion.
