Someone seems to have forgotten that our country received aid from nations when we fought for our own independence and nationhood and in defending freedom and democracy (shared interests) in other nations. Our alliances have been what elevated the US to the position we hold in the world today.

The starting point for my assessment is this quote from "The Nation":
"These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity."
Cooperation is our species' superpower. Of course, the fascists say so too; but with coerced and bribed compliance, from the top of a pyramid down, while democratic nations ultimately combine individual power from aggregated collective will of the populace, up. The latter's harder to pull off, but hey...

I will suggest that another "superpower," or rather our greatest natural resource, is the creative power of the human mind.
