Really sad, but very true. Most people are good inherently, when we don’t see what is what is happening to one tribe in this human family because of language, race, region, religion, its easy to ignore it. Thanks for sharing this as a reminder.
Great video. Well intentioned. It just isn’t enough to crack the [monkey sphere.](https://www.cracked.com/article_14990_what-monkeysphere.html) There’s no telling what it could take to get us all working together and caring about humans around the world. And I mean really caring. If China bombed your hometown trying to kill a terrorist and accidentally killed your entire family, I’m sure you’d feel very deeply about the atrocities of war. But a drone strike happens daily and it doesn’t even tickle the back of your mind. “Ugh, politics and news, gross.” The apathy of the world is it’s true evil. Not the evil men doing evil things. There’s so many injustices everywhere that everyone would say “obviously that’s wrong”, yet it all keeps going on. The wealthy openly bribe and call it “lobbying”. The wealthy start wars to further their interests. Let’s look at Ukraine from the perspective of the filthy rich and see where the motivates are here. Same with Hong Kong and Taiwan. Other countries have watched America start wars to enrich the ultra-wealthy. They want in on the action. Who’s pulling the strings to start these conflicts? Guaranteed there are billions upon billions to be made when conflict starts. [They don’t care about you.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fGQ8pF3wYU)
The one of these that got me was where the pre-teen girl found a little boy she was looking after when they both got separated from their families. When they found the little boy a family to live with and they got separated again she said “But he’s all I have left.” That one suckerpunched me right in the feels.
Fuck war and what it does to innocents caught up in it. Makes me wish there was a way to teach everyone how to live in peace and actually have them listen.
I happened to catch this only one time before, when it randomly appeared on television. I never saw it again but I never forgot it. Thanks for posting.
You want to see some real horrible shit? Threads 1984, BBC made for TV movie about the lead up and aftermath of nuclear war- https://youtu.be/5Srqyd8B9gE
Every time I see this it completely fucks me up. Its so horrific and yet this is just life for so many people. Then there’s the fear that perhaps it could happen here some day. Who the hell knows these days.
Patience everyone. The invasion of Ukraine is not a foregone conclusion. Afghanistan took down the Soviet Union and the government in the eighties, and the Russian people don’t stand for a lot of stupidity. Let’s see how this plays out. It’s up to all of the social media to prevent these stupid conflicts and prevent them before they start. There are enough of us. It just takes organizing. BTW. Soldiers that see this shit happen to children every day never get over it either, and the Veterans Administration hurts rather than helps. Sometimes PTSD doesn’t happen as a result of our own injuries, but someone else’s..
Yeah, as a Ukrainian, who had to flee Donbas in 2014, this shit hits too close to home. My daughter is 4 and looks like we’ll have round 2 pretty soon, so I’m hoping I could find a way to shield her from whatever’s coming.

Ukraine in a couple of days.
Mercy.
[Extended version](https://youtu.be/Aa3o7vWG93w)
The original project has a Part I (the video OP posted) and a Part II. The extended version is both parts put together. Runs about 3 minutes total.
Powerful video. And that British girl should get an Oscar. She conveys so much with just her expressions.
Geez. What did she wish for on that first birthday?

Holy shit…I was not preppared
Imagine watching this from Ukraine.
The one of these that got me was where the pre-teen girl found a little boy she was looking after when they both got separated from their families. When they found the little boy a family to live with and they got separated again she said “But he’s all I have left.” That one suckerpunched me right in the feels.

EDIT: I guess that was part 2 of this one.

If only I could. 😓
If only we would. 😠
This is my go-to reference for the greatest commercial ever made. It’s brilliant.

todo un caso
God damn.
so… what I’m getting from this video is that we need to stop celebrating children’s birthdays, or we will suffer the consequences.
that video looks like another threat from the WEF sociopaths.. “It will happen to you.. soon”
The url to this post is https://www.reddit.com/syrjak
on a video about #SaveSyriasChildren. bit of a stretch but still cool
Nope, not watching this again. I’m having a good day, not gonna ruin it.
I always think about this ad.
This commercial haunts me.
… and children are born and live and die, all in darkness.

Sad that we have to show this shit happening to nice little white English kids to drive the point home to some people.
0.8 seconds in I noped out, I remember the whole thing just terribly, thanks
Coming soon to a Ukraine near you.
Fuck.
