You know, in trying to find out how to best avoid, survive and thrive during and after a nuclear blast, I've realized something I was not aware before: That the people who make the economic, political and military decisions in this world tend to be old folks who don't give a shit about the future, precisely because they have the Gates of Heaven in plain sigh.
Take, for example, the Cuban missile crisis: Khrushchev (68 years old) vs. Kennedy (45 years old). John instructed his generals to hold until he gave the order. Nikita told his officers to attack at first sign of hostility. Or even Arkhipov (36 years old) vs. Maslennikov (62 years old) & Savitsky (66 years old). In all cases, it was the old farts that made the decision to fire nuclear weapons and hence begin what was probably the eradication of human life in this planet. And I've noticed this to be more of a constant than isolated incidents.
Makes me wonder as to why do we passively accept old people making decisions that could potentially affect human existence in the future.
Take for example the United Nations:

It's jam-packed with old pension seeking ex-politicians and ex-diplomats that can't seem to agree on anything. WHY is it still in existence?

They have kids and grandkids and might actually give a shit about them?

Well, nuclear exchange ain't a reality based threat anymore.

sting, on his debut solo album "the dream of blue turtles" adressed this matter in 1985 in the song "russians"
In Europe and America there's a growing feeling of hysteria.
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
MIster Krushchev said, "We will bury you."
I don't subscribe to this point of view.
It'd be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too.
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence.
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Russians love their children too

Most likely because they've experienced life and aren't some snot nosed 20 something who knows fuck all about how the world works. I'm mid thirties and realize my 20 something self was a delusional moron.

It is my opinion that we should pull out of the United Nations.
We have become the police of the world, and it is high time that the countries who benefit from our tax dollars pay their share.

We should legalize texting and driving, the over population problem will fix itself in a few months.

Move the headquarters of the useless United Nations to some fifth world African country and see how many people want to be their countries representative.
Right now it's nothing more than a paid staycation in the greatest country in the world for the socialist buttwipes of other nations. Locate the HQ in a cesspool country and they will whine and drop out.
We shouldn't be in the U.N. Club Fled indeed.

President of any free world should be older than 40 but younger than 60 before being elected imop. And absolutely never allow a woman to control any free world.
