    &quot;Old men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die.&quot; - Herbert C. Hoover.

    I can&apos;t even watch a nature documentary anymore without bursting into tears knowing that it&apos;ll all be gone soon and there&apos;s nobody that can do anything to fix the damage including myself. I don&apos;t know how anyone can even live with themselves without feeling guilt and shame. I lost all hope for this world that was supposed to be a blessing. I don&apos;t know how much longer I can live with this new reality.

    So China cooperating with Russia is a &quot;worry&quot;, but Trump threatening to take Greenland from a NATO country Denmark is &quot;bold statement&quot;, not an <b>aggressive expansionist statement?</b>

    We will truly suck this planet dry until we destroy it.

    It’s insane how much humans are impacting the environment and the course of our planet. Nobody knows when—or to what extent—we’ll have to pay the price.

    All I could think about while watching this video was the polar bears and other animals becoming collateral damage. Humans will destroy everything until there&apos;s nothing left but their money—which is just printed paper

    True. The sad part is that the people causing the most damage often won’t be the ones who suffer the worst consequences. It’s usually ordinary people and future generations who pay the price. That’s why accountability and real action matter, not just awareness.

    why don&apos;t we try to get along and share it you know the word. Share things, we will never learn, how sad.

    It&apos;s not a coincidence that military operations and corporate economic goals often align. We see these circumstances throughout history.
