You've been told for years to recycle, drive less, eat less meat. Meanwhile the single largest institutional polluter on the entire planet is the US military, and nobody's asking it to cut back on anything.
Here it is, my occasional reminder that balloons don't get up to grandma in heaven. They come back to Earth as trash.
Sometimes stuck in a tree. Sometimes floating in a river. Sometimes wrapped around the neck of an animal.

As suggested yesterday, the US unsuccessfully tried to escort Oil Tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, risking the lives of the mariners for media victories.
Overnight, 4 oil tankers guided by the US Air Force, without coordination with the IRGC Navy, attempted to exit the Strait of Hormuz.
One of the tankers was hit and stopped, and the other vessels turned back.
Then at 2h30, US drones hit a telecommunications mast in Qeshm and a radar in Sirik with two projectiles.
In response, IRGC targeted Ali al-Salem air base in Kuwait and the the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain with Ballistic Missiles.
Iran doesn't need it because they have access to Chinese satellites.
So the only reason the US gov is doing this is because they don't want YOU to know how much Iranian missiles and drones have wreaked havoc on US military bases
Resist this coward mindset at all costs. People have fought their way outta slavery, outta the grip of kings, outta colonialism, and people IN MUCH WORSE CONDITIONS THAN YOU still fight today. Stand the fuck up.
North America chose suburbs over commie blocks and became antisocial to the point of being so paranoiacally distrusting of their neighbors they ushered in constant surveillance with ring cameras and threaten them at gunpoint to protect gaudy ecologically unstable lawns. Curious!
