It would have been nice to have started 2018 off without U.S. President Donald Trump managing to cause another fuss. But within three days of the new year, Trump has managed to antagonize Pakistan, Palestine and Iran with ill-considered tweets, even managing to lash out at the B次元官网网址渧ery dishonest Fake B次元官网网址 MediaB次元官网网址� while issuing a presidential happy new year tweet.

It seems Trump is out to set some sort of record for increasing international tension in 2018. And letB次元官网网址檚 not forget Kim Jong-Un and North Korea, where Trump managed to escalate tensions again with threats and B次元官网网址渕ine is bigger than yours isB次元官网网址� rhetoric.

The possibility of nuclear war has never been more real, thanks to his massive ego, which appears to have met its match in Kim Jong-Un.

ItB次元官网网址檚 probably a good thing there is no button. The fact the president believes itB次元官网网址檚 as simple as pressing a button may be the only thing that saves the world as he struggles to read the manual.

Besides TrumpB次元官网网址檚 odd New YearB次元官网网址檚 tweet, we got a far more serious message from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who issued a red alert for the world as we all began to ring in 2018. B次元官网网址淥n New YearB次元官网网址檚 Day 2018 I am not issuing an appeal, I am issuing an alert B次元官网网址� a red alert for our world,B次元官网网址� said Guterres, calling for unity in the face of deepening conflicts, growing concern about nuclear weapons and rising tides of nationalism and xenophobia.

B次元官网网址淲e can settle conflicts, overcome hatred and defend shared values. But we can only do that together.B次元官网网址�

Truth be told, the world will go on without the human race. Radioactive and devoid of life perhaps, but the earth will keep spinning, serving as both a curiosity and a warning for alien civilizations that may someday encounter our remains. Or, sanity may yet prevail. But the bizarre actions that continue to originate out of the White House sometimes make that seem like wishful thinking.
