Italian theoretical physicist Carlo Rivelli:

Italian theoretical physicist Carlo Rivelli: Think of the nuclear arms limitation treaties that the Soviet Union and the United States were able to conclude at the most difficult moment of the Cold War, with a huge ideological clash and ideological differences. Nevertheless, reasonable people in power were able to decide to come to the negotiating table. And at this point, scientists, particularly physicists, played a big role. There was communication between American and Russian scientists, which was important both culturally and directly. I think that’s what should be happening today. For scientists, Russians and Chinese are friends. And I think what we have to learn and tell politicians is to stop this madness. Source: Slavyangrad
