If Aliens Invade Earth, 
Will All Nations on Earth Help Each Other?

In a 2009 interview with Gorbachev by Charlie Rose and Reagan’s Secretary of State George Shultz, Gorbachev said

'President Reagan suddenly said to me, 'What would you do if the 
United States were suddenly attacked by someone from outer space? 
Would you help us?'
"I said, 'No doubt about it."'
"He said, 'We too.'"

Covid-19 Attack Is the 
closest approximation to Alien Invasion

Any good world leader would use this extraordinary opportunity to induce all nations to work together to find an effective 1) cure and 2) vaccine as soon as possible. Only Trump would misuse such a moment to pick a fight with China to increase the tension in the Thucydides Trap* to the point of springing the trap. Why? To cover up his incompetence in dealing with Covid-19, he is desperate to assignment blame to MANY OTHERS including China!

Phoenix RISING from the Thucydides Trap

However, Trump is only one person, albeit the President of the U.S. The rest of humanity is 7.5 billion peace-loving people under the threat of Covid-19. WE SHALL DEFEAT HIM.

In 4.5 months, Trump will have lost the election & his power. A number of vaccines, being developed around the world, will be just about available to us. It will be the ideal time for the Presidents of the U.S. and China to jointly call for the renewal of global free and open exchange of scientific information, focusing on distributing an effective & inexpensive vaccine against Covid-19** at the earliest possible date that is FREE to the world. 

As a result of international collaboration, 7.5 billion people will return to normal lives sooner. The global economy will recover faster. The world will return to a normalcy, that is more peaceful than before. Phoenix will rise from the ashes!
The above is what big powers should do. Struggling with each other to be the "Top Dog" is childish. Working together to establish a GLORIOUS NEW chapter in human history -- nations co-exist to co-benefit -- is exemplary.

*"Thucydides Trap" is a term invented by former Kennedy School Dean Graham Allison. The word trap is used to imply the inevitable conflict between an established power and the rising power which often leads to war. An ancient example is the conflict between Sparta & Athens leading to the Peloponnesian War. A modern example is the conflict between the US & China, which might be redirected by the pressing need to fight against Covid-19 in a joint effort.

**We the people, 7.5 billion strong, could remind the US of its often preached "human rights" and China its emphasis to "make fresh and greater contribution to mankind.”
