Is There a New Version of Mutuall Distruction?

I think there's a general recognition that the groundwork has been laid by most of the major geo political actors, including our allies. And i hope that it doesn't require a troumatic event for us to really work on containing that. The democratized grievances that we're seeing right now don't feel new to me all. I really do think that finding common ground is the greatest actiove patriotism any of us can engage in right now.
