McCain and Graham just put out a statement applauding the air strike.
...which they refer to as a "first step."
First step for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists Doomsday Clock to strike midnight (?)
Yesterday it stood at 2 and a half minutes to midnight . . .
IT IS TWO AND A HALF MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT
2017: For the last two years, the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock stayed set at three minutes before the hour, the closest it had been to midnight since the early 1980s. In its two most recent annual announcements on the Clock, the Science and Security Board warned: “The probability of global catastrophe is very high, and the actions needed to reduce the risks of disaster must be taken very soon.” In 2017, we find the danger to be even greater, the need for action more urgent. It is two and a half minutes to midnight, the Clock is ticking, global danger looms. Wise public officials should act immediately, guiding humanity away from the brink. If they do not, wise citizens must step forward and lead the way. See the full statement from the Science and Security Board on the 2017 time of the Doomsday Clock.
