The Bulletin highlighted nuclear threats between the U.S. and North Korean governments, including “hyperbolic rhetoric and provocative actions on both sides.” They also lamented “the decline of U.S. leadership and a related demise of diplomacy under the Trump administration“.

このイニシアチブは1月18日、カザフスタンが国連安全保障理事会(安保理)議長国の立場で招集した「大量破壊兵器の不拡散:信頼醸成措置」について話し合う公開会合において発表された。同日、アントニオ・グテーレス国連事務総長は、「冷戦終焉後、核兵器に関する世界の懸念が現在、最も大きくなっている。」との懸念を表明していた。

BANGKOK (IDN) – Kesuksesan peluncuran rudal balistik antar benua berkemampuan nuklir (ICBM) Agni-5 pada 18 Januari nyaris luput dari perhatian di Asia. Namun media barat memusatkan liputan pada kemampuan India saat ini untuk menyerang kota-kota besar Tiongkok termasuk Beijing dan Shanghai.

Liputan setengah menyanjung ini sangat kontras terhadap histeria media barat khususnya saat Korea Utara menguji rudal serupa pada 28 November 2017. Ketika pengujian oleh Korea Utara dianggap sebagai ancaman terhadap usaha denuklirisasi global, tidak begitu halnya dengan India.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (IDN-INPS) – Citing growing nuclear risks and unchecked climate dangers, the iconic Doomsday Clock is now 30 seconds closer to midnight, the closest to the symbolic point of annihilation that the Clock has been since 1953 at the height of the Cold War.

The decision announced on January 25 to move the Doomsday Clock to two minutes before midnight was made by the ‘Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists‘ Science and Security Board in consultation with the Board of Sponsors, which includes 15 Nobel Laureates.
