Perhaps someone could tell me what US national interests are harmed by the US President being on good terms with the Russian leader?
Fair enough. I knew it came down to that for you. I’ll take that into account when you say or write anything about US politics in the future.

You should. You should also remember that I spent over 10 years of my life trying to help Americans. Which is more than most Americans did. Notice I said the solution is for both sides to stop doing it. That was ignored, though.
-
I didn’t ignore it. I’m always interested to hear what you have to say. Understanding clearly where it’s coming from is also useful.

All humans have my concern, Michael. They really do and to a large degree my cocnern is equal (not entirely, but far closer than most.) People don't understand that. And lately, I'm not sure that I was right to prioritize humans so much over other animals.

We are not just evil, genocidal maniacs. We have just as many good qualities as bad. And it is of the upmost importance to emphasize these good qualities as much as possible.
-
Every living being contains the possibility of compassionate action. And it is that we need to emphasize, not our capacity for destructiveness.
-
As a species we haven’t been doing so good lately, it’s true. The answer is to try a lot harder to do better. Not to condemn us all as genocidal demons. And, yes, animals matter as much as people.
-
At what point do our multiple genocides pass the point where we should be called evil, then? Is evil a word you can never use? If it isn't, what level of wrongdoing is required before you can say 'these people are evil'?
-
It’s a meaningless word. Like God or the devil.
