The whole telepathic thing bothers me, it seems so unlikely that telepathy is real in humans and to be able to communicate with aliens would be highly improbable

It wouldn't be "humans communicating with aliens" it would be "aliens using their high-frequency-brainwave-beam-device" to communicate with humans

Counterpoint: the point of reading and discussing books is to learn things, so presenting the option to not read the book is like offering the option to not do math, or history, or whatever.

That's like saying people should eat shit so they discuss the taste, instead of offering them a banana whose taste they can discuss without getting sick.

1) sure they thought of that, just do a google search, often a camera is attached to a helmet or put on a gun.

2) seems a bit impractical compared to just bombing the enemy, or having armored vehicles present(some of which are quite light and can be transported through air)

or just dropping a barricade would also be a good idea; you don't expect soldiers to get fired on from all sides

But our visceral response to them seems to be far more excessive than the actual threat they would have posed throughout human evolution.

By what measurement ?

As i see it, we 've had little to no use to them, and they 're often poisonous, more harmfull then helpfull, which is enough for any negative reaction to evolve: in evolution a reaction is only "excessive" when it is disadvantageous.

How long should it stand until everything collapse?

Pollution can make certain systems collapse by poisoning creatures that fulfill a certain niche.

EVERYTHING collapsing is nigh impossible;

it's best to look at matter first, i ll try to discern 3 categories(more are possible):

1) certain matters are biologically usable; they can be made part of the bio-mass(=animals, plants)

2) other materials aren't realy usable by(/in) lifeforms (most metals)

pollution would have to continue for a huuuge time before we 'd run out of matter for bio-mass

3) the third category are materials that would poison creatures;

these materials could/would be consumed by creatures that cannot handle these materials,

(ps:many materials are not poisonous untill taken in in large enough quantities)

radio-active  materials can be counted under the third category.

The materials under category 2 and 3 do not necessarily increase, though they are pulled out of the earth and thrown into the atmosphere(=biosphere)

(regional) eco-systems can(and have) fallen due to pollution, generally speaking the first ones to observe it happening are locals near the eco-system,

not people local to the polluting factory(/car/cow/..)

Humans getting poisoned until civilised systems fall/fail because of pullution ... well, i doubt even the Chinese would ever allow thát to happen.

They may be there as some kind of passage for animals, although Russia doesn't realy need those.
