I did clap for your story, but like all Americans, you have two huge holes in your vision.

During my lifetime, American military exploits have killed literally millions of completely innocent people who had done nothing wrong.

Every single time, Biden and the Democrats have been there, urging for more war, more death, more conquest. (And the Republicans, just as bad — I'm not some crypto-Trumpist here.)

And voters really lap it up. Americans, both R and D, act as if non-American lives not only have no value, they have a negative value — that killing foreigners, particularly if they are non-white, non-Christian, or both, is a positive act.

I don't see any mention of the endless, genocidal foreign wars in your article, either. It's not encouraging.

Let me be blunt — until America stops its generations-long wholesale murder of foreigners, a lot of the rest of the world is going to be pretty happy to see America shoot itself in the foot over and over again, because if you're doing that, you aren't killing the rest of us.

And the other hole is the climate catastrophe. America is leading the charge towards the destruction of our entire biosphere. At this point, disaster is certain, but we need to work all the harder, because we still have the hope of avoiding catastrophe, that being the completely devastation of our biosphere and the flooding of the whole planet.

Biden gave lip service to this in his campaign but, like Obama (source 1, source 2) he's spent his whole political life so far carrying water for the fossil fuel industry.

Again, this doesn't even enter into the picture in your article.

It's very American to worry only about oneself, today, and show no interest at all in the rest of the planet or the future of the planet and one's own grandchildren. It's also appalling, and it won't work out well for anyone in the long term.

Let me again be blunt. Suppose someone handed me a red button and said, "If you press this, you will scour the USA of all human life." Almost every living person I ever cared about is there, but I would be morally and ethically forced to press that button, because it would be my judgement that it would be the only chance of not destroying our entire living world.
