>Isolating people is not how those we disagree with should be treated.

Sanctions on Iran, NK, Venezuela, Cuba and now Russia makes me feel like you don't understand how your own country operates.

>It just futures an us-vs-them mentality. We should actively engage and work with people with disagree with and learn through cognitive empathy.

UN just did a vote where every country outside of US & Israel wants sanctions on Cuba removed. When America actually acts on what they preach maybe someone will believe what you said.

You should look through my post history - I'm fairly Anti-American. America is among the most destabilizing and hegemonic powers out there. So, I think we agree here.

China, Cuba, Iran, NK, and more have stated a willingness to work with and engage the U.S. The U.S refuses for multiple reasons. While most of the world is embracing a multipolar and multilateral world, the US is clinging violently onto its hegemonic theology of American Exceptionalism to utterly destabilizing effects.

Indeed, I misunderstood your initial points. You were speaking from a personal point of view. I thought you were talking from an American POV.
