REVISITING THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK .......

Just few weeks ago, some distinguished scientists and the board of sponsors, which include 16 Nobel laureates took a decision to move the time on the famous clock a further 30 seconds from 2:30 to 2 minutes to midnight, a symbolic doomsday timing . The last move, a year ago the clock was pushed from 3 minutes to 2:30, both moves were directly related to our new commander in chief and his administration's destabilizing comments, decisions, and threats to the world, its climate, and its science.

His threats against North Korea's nuclear programs and not so funny leader that resulted in no concrete move nor any stoppage or slow down of their missile or nuclear weapons program. The Trump administration's threat against the Iranian 2015 agreement, limiting its nuclear program against lifting economical sanctions,  despite strong assurances by the International Atomic Agency, that Iran has been in compliance with the mentioned agreement. All culminating in an almost declared war with Iran,Turkey, Russia, Syria, Iraq and the Shiia world . With Israeli great help, They are selling it to the American people in the same exact words and actions that the Bush Jr, administration did upon the crazy and false invasion of Iraq .

Climate change issues that need to be urgently dealt with, to avoid imminent catastrophic situations, with our entire ecological system world wide put on hold, and the whole science behind it denied, rendering climate change issues irrelevant.

The latest engagement of our troops and the arming of different factions against others, is again turning the entire Middle-East into a quagmire of international and regional conflicts, further destroying the area and endangering the world's stability.

When the Obama administration was criticized for its slow reactions and indecision toward some of the important steps in various conflicts, today it all looks like a joke compared to the Trump administration's lack of experience, lack of vision, lack of mature dealing with all serious problems of the many hot spots of the world. This pathetic lack of leadership has led to a total distrust of world leaders and countries of the US , and has backed away the US from its long-standing leadership role in the world. 

" Neither allies nor adversaries have been able to reliably predict US actions of discern between sincere US pronouncements and mere rhetoric" wrote two eminent scientists Krauss and Rosner, who sit on the board of the Chicago based bulletin of Atomic scientists, which is the science journal that oversees the doomsday clock .

Failure of Mr. Trump, his oligarchy and his administration, plus some of the other rogue leaders, to deal with the looming threats of regional conflicts, and their insistence on solving matters by wars, denying nuclear capabilities to some while having nuclear destruction power of earthly magnitude to others, as well as facing climate changes, are further endangering our very existence .

America is looking to the results of several investigations regarding the administration's collusion with foreign countries and shifting election results to a one side, many are starting to seriously believe that the general State of the Union vis a vis our own problems and social malaise here in America, culminating in the unrealistic and insulting proposed budget by the Trump administration . Plus the risks of wrong and immature policies to world problems, including the volcanic M-E, are all becoming more serious considerations for impeachment procedures, let's see if the 2018 congressional elections could help alter this situation .

Let's all of us hope that the minutes on the clock could be pushed back to 3, 4 or 5 minutes to midnight instead of to one minute to, or midnight . My usual sincere thanks to all of our readership across the globe .
