30 Seconds Closer to Caratrophe

Scientists said we are thirty seconds closer to catastrophe today, moving the hands of the Doomsday clock up to two minutes to midnight, the closest the Clock has ever been to Doomsday, and as close as it was in 1953, at the height of the Cold War.
the reality of a nuclear-armed President Trump running loose in the world is worse than we feared, and that is clearly a central factor in this decision. ---- Derek Johnson

Doomsday looms

The closest ever, and just getting closer.
Three minutes to midnight was too many last week.
This week, one can only wonder if that's padded with sixty extra seconds of optimism.
Hint: When Trump advised folks to "Go Nuclear," he wasn't making a reference to Iran. Yet.
