I last wrote about the world's "Doomsday Clock" on March 14, 2022. At that time, it was 100 seconds to midnight.
In it, I asked how China's President Xi would react to Russia's war on Ukraine...and to which country China would lend its support...inasmuch as Xi's legacy is at stake if he chooses unwisely.
So far, he seems to be backing Russia...jeopardizing his legacy in the process.
So, make the most of your next 90 seconds, as they may just be your last...repeat if necessary! 😏
* UPDATE Jan. 24, 2023...
So, Ukrainian officials are not immune to corruption, as it seems they've profited immensely from the roughly $100 Billion in aid and a massive amount of weapons donated to Ukraine from NATO countries...meant to be used to fight in their war with Russia.
In fact, Ukraine has been identified as the second-most corrupt country in Europe...second to Russia!
That's one sure way to erode world-wide public trust in their government leaders.
It also begs the question of NATO leaders as to why they haven't conducted a full audit yet of where and how these funds and weapons have been spent/used...and provided a transparent report of their findings to the public.
Shouldn't that be done before another penny is spent and any more military equipment is sent to Ukraine? 🤔
* UPDATE Feb. 22...
It's about time...we'll see what Congress uncovers in their oversight investigation...
* UPDATE Feb. 23, 2025...
President Zelensky's days as leader of Ukraine may be numbered, depending on how discussions proceed with respect to ending the war with Russia in the coming weeks, as outlined in the following article.
President Trump is not known for having unlimited patience...particularly when it comes to fulfilling a campaign promise he made to Americans in 2024 to end this war.
