move to the bomb. The long-term implications of this status for Israel’s national security are profound, including the possibility that other regional actors would seek a similar status, triggering a dangerous cascade of regional proliferation.” The stance of the Israeli government is that the Iranian nuclear threat has been only deferred, not ended. After ten years, advanced centrifuges can be legitimately installed. Within fifteen years, Iran can have as large of a nuclear infrastructure as…

The motion picture "Armageddon" was is a sci-fi film around a planet-murdering space rock whose impact course will crash the Earth. The researchers at NASA plan to explode an atomic bomb under the space rock's surface that will soften it up two, making it miss the crash with the Earth. One bomb must be covered no less than 800 feet beneath the surface so with a specific end goal to accomplish their objective, the researchers from NASA find the best oil driller on the planet: Bruce Willis (Harry…

If one dares ask a question that examines or critiques Trump, prepare to be attacked. This will only get worse as his ascendancy continues. However, if you laud Trump with praise, he will elevate you to a place of honor, exactly corresponding to Daniel 11:39. This is presently happening as people sell their soul and surrender their principles to join the Trump Train. Buddy up to him and he will treat you wonderfully. But challenge him at your own peril. The last part of the verse says, “he’ll…

People talk about Armageddon like it’s some future event.

During the late 90s, Aerosmith was asked to produce a touching piece for the soundtrack of the movie Armageddon, which starred singer Steven Tyler’s daughter (The Rob). With the help of schmaltz “queen” Dianne Warren (author of other sappy songs like “How Do I Live” and “Because You Loved Me”), the band was able to perform a piece that was full of gusto and romance, wrapped up by their music video in a melodramatic bow (Farber). “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” is a song that Carl Wilson would…

Kurt Vonnegut’s Armageddon in Retrospect is a book composed of both short stories and essays about war. Vonnegut was a private in the U.S. Army’s 106th Infantry Division during World War II and was captured by the Germans in mid-December of 1944.

Perhaps he fits easily into them because he is so down to earth. He rarely seems ridiculous, even when everything else in the screen is absurd (see "Armageddon"), because he never over-reaches; he usually plays his characters flat and matter of fact. Here there is a poignancy in his bewilderment. The film opens with the mayor presenting him with a citation, and that moment precisely marks the beginning of his professional decline. He goes down with a sort of doomed…

Men in every era are seen to be powerful muscular guys who should protect and defend their country and loved ones. J.J Wilson’s article on Skating to Armageddon: Hockey and The First World War argues that during the first world war the men’s that were enlisted were apart of a hockey team.
