    Good news. This world needs more cooperation and friendship.

      Nations don't have friends, they have interests.

        Democratic populations have feelings towards each other, including friendship.

        There are plenty of nations I feel my nation has friendships with - if they were bullied, we'd stand up for them on pure reaction.

        Not everything is interests. People are people.

          This is such a dumb take. Like 80 years ago the so-called Europeans were killing each other. 35 years ago there were 2 German nations that had animosity towards each other. This is why teaching history is important in schools so people don’t live in imaginary land
