During an announcement earlier today, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, set the “Doomsday Clock” to 89 second to midnight, the closest it has ever been to what they claim will be the destruction of humanity. Daniel Holz, the Chairman of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board, cited the war in Ukraine, the ongoing proxy-war between Israel and Iran in the Middle East, countries continuing to grow their nuclear arsenals, governments not focusing policies on halting global warming, and the development of biotechnology and artificial intelligence, as the reason for today’s “Doomsday Clock” update.

Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz traveled yesterday to an IDF Military Base established atop Mount Hermon in the Syrian part of the Golan Heights, telling Israeli Soldiers that Defense Forces will remain on Mount Hermon and in the Syrian Golan Heights for an “Indefinite Period” to ensure the defense of Northern Israel and its Residents. Katz had originally told Former U.S. National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan that the Israeli Occupation of Southwestern Israel would be temporary, but that appears to have changed since President Donald J. Trump entered Office.

Lots of either false information or misinformation has been circulated on X over the last few days about the situation on the U.S. Southern Border as well as ongoing repatriation flights by the U.S. Air Force between the United States and Central/South America.

First of all, is the claim that the Cartels in Mexico have either “allied” or come together to fight against the U.S. Border Patrol, and/or that they have been given the “green light” to open-fire on soldiers or law enforcement officers on the U.S-side of the Border. This is false for a number of reasons, the main one being the fact that the Cartel are not a unified organization or group, there are over a dozen Cartels in Mexico, from the Sinaloa Cartel to the Los Zetas, who almost all hate each other and are constantly in a state of war against each other; there is almost zero chance that they would ever all come together to fight against the United States.

The second bit of misinformation going around is in reference to ongoing repatriation flights by the U.S. Air Force, specifically the ones recently to Guatemala, which have flown across the Gulf of America/Mexico and avoided Mexican Airspace. The reason for this is likely due to Mexico refusing to allow the U.S. to use its airspace for these flights; but despite this, several accounts have now claimed that the reason is actually due to fears the Cartels could shoot down the aircraft while over Mexico. The Cartels do not have any system that could even come close to shooting down a U.S. Air Force C-17, which has a cruising altitude between 28,000 and 34,000ft; there have been rumors that the Cartels may have obtained Man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), like the FIM-43 RedEye, but these come nowhere close to reaching a C-17, with max ranges of 15,000ft.

The U.S. Department of State has issued a security alert for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Specifically, the alert advises “U.S. citizens to shelter-in-place and then safely depart [via N’Djili airport in the capital city Kinshasa] while commercial options are still available.” Additionally, the U.S. Embassy is now closed to the public due to ongoing protests and widespread looting.

Context:
Tensions in the country have risen significantly since the M23 rebels took the regional capital of Goma during an ongoing offensive in the east that has received both direct and indirect support from the neighboring country of Rwanda. Most notably, the embassies of Rwanda and Uganda have been overrun and looted,with widespread looting now occurring across the city.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has extended a formal invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to come to the White House next week. This will be the first foreign leader to visit the U.S. in President Trump’s second term and clearly indicates that the president intends to stick to the priorities voiced during his campaign.

Since Sunday, several C-17 Military Transports with the U.S. Air Force have flown from Ramstein Air Base in Germany, to Hatzerim Airbase in Southern Israel, before then flying to Rzeszów in Eastern Poland, which serves as the Hub for almost all Military Aid…
Only days after several U.S. Air Force C-17s were seen flying between Hatzerim Airbase in Southern Israel, and the Military Aid Hub for Ukraine in Rzeszów, Poland. Axios is now reporting that the U.S. Military transferred around 90 “Patriot” Air Defense Missiles from Israel to Poland earlier this week, which will be provided to Ukraine, for “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Systems already in service with the Ukrainian Air Force. In addition, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also approved a Deal to transfer several PAC-2/GEM+ “Patriot” Batteries which were retired from the Israeli Air Defense Command last April, back to the United States for refurbishment by Raytheon, before being delivered to Ukraine.

The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro announced earlier today that the First Flights of Colombian Migrants to be repatriated from the United States, arrived earlier today at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá. This follows a Small Crisis this weekend between Gustavo and U.S. President Trump, in which Gustavo had initially refused to allow U.S. Military Aircraft carrying Illegal Migrants to land in Colombia, before later agreeing to the Flights after being threatened with Tariffs and other Actions.
