A threat to civilization

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump posted on social media. (link)

Do we really understand what the president of the United States has just said?!? Is this clear enough for everybody how terrible this is? Following threats to destroy civilian infrastructure (energy and even desalinization plants!), which would be war crimes, following killing more than 150 children in the first day of attack on Iran (collateral damage, as it will most probably be declared), the president of the biggest (still) economy in the world and captain in chief of world's most powerful army does not leave us much hope for the world and our future. This person has thousands nuclear weapons under his control, and some are still thinking everything's good?!?

The only hope is that more resistance to the totalitarian and anti-human tendencies of this presidency will build up, in US and Europe. Spain has shown the way, and they deserve all our respect for this, but other European countries are reluctant to follow this model, still doubting the fact that not confronting a bully is not a way to discourage him. And that concessions made to the bully will only ensure a continuation of the bully behavior, at an ever-increasing pace. Chapeau, Spain!

A whole civilization may die tonight. Ours.
