Well, I don't think those responsibilities are necessarily equal. So situations are so dire immediate action is the priority and some situations are mild enough that they are more like calls to future action.
That said, I'd agree that US leadership, in general, seems to have an attitude of total irresponsibility for anything. I think that extreme income and power inequalities are to blame - ruling class doesn't care, they don't have to.
- pstuart 7y agoUS leadership may have inertia but are significantly impacted by the administration leading it. The current one is actively calling the whole thing a hoax and blaming it on its political enemies, as per most recent news reports.
- pstuart 7y agoHmmm, all I did was state facts germane to the conversation. It's a pity that we can't discuss uncomfortable truths without getting tribal about it. Political discourse has reached an apex of toxicity and that will only worsen if we can't find some way to seek shared goals in a respectful manner. I'm worried that it may be too late to achieve this but one must always remember the words of Commander Peter Quincy Taggart: "Never give up, never surrender!"
