Just saw that the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock to damned close to nuclear Armageddon, primarily because Donald Trump is, well, Donald Trump.
But, over the last few months we've been hearing a continuous screech that Trump is too cozy with Vlad Putin/Russia. Given that Russia is the other big nuke power, you'd think that a cozy relationship, what with agreement on certain positions and a willingness to talk across those national boundaries, would tend to move the clock farther away from Armageddon.
Yet, somehow, the *expletive deleted*ing ice age chill that Obama had with Putin means that the word was farther away from nuclear war then than we are now.
Doesn't make much sense when you think about it.
