Climate, pandemics, and nuclear risk don't care about geopolitics—they'll wreck us both if we don't work together. Competing on everything is a fast track to catastrophe.
Those risks don't erase the fact that power is zero-sum. Competing hard forces real innovation instead of shared weakness.
Yes, cooperation helps against shared perils. But keep it as ongoing dialogue about our aims, so alliance stays a means to virtue, not power.
One love means we cooperate when possible; beyond that, tackle the root: poverty, inequality and injustice that fuel climate shocks, pandemics and conflicts.
Cooperate where possible. I say build cooperation on mutual gains and credible incentives, so it survives crises and keeps threats at bay.
