Philip Geraldi – One Click Closer to Annihilation

Summary:
Last week Washington threatened Iran, Syria, China, Venezuela and RussiaTerrifying, the US is out of control! The crazies are in command. The living dead run Washington. Oh, and Trump has accused China of meddling in the U S presidential election. Well, if the Democrats mannered to pull that stunt off, I guess the Republicans might as well jump onto the bandwagon. The nuclear war doomsday clock maintained on the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists website has advanced to two minutes before midnight, the closest point to possible atomic apocalypse since the end of the Cold War.

Last week Washington threatened Iran, Syria, China, Venezuela and Russia

Terrifying, the US is out of control! The crazies are in command. The living dead run Washington. Oh, and Trump has accused China of meddling in the U S presidential election. Well, if the Democrats mannered to pull that stunt off, I guess the Republicans might as well jump onto the bandwagon.

The nuclear war doomsday clock maintained on the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists website has advanced to two minutes before midnight, the closest point to possible atomic apocalypse since the end of the Cold War. In 1995 the clock was at fourteen minutes to midnight, but the opportunity to set it back even further was lost as the United States and its European allies took advantage of a weakened Russia to advance NATO into Eastern Europe, setting the stage for a new cold war, which is now underway.
It is difficult to imagine how the United States might avoid a new war in the Middle East given the recent statements that have come out of Washington, and, given that the Russians are also active in the region, a rapid and massive escalation of something that starts out as a minor incident should not be ruled out.
