"Impact probability is still very low, and the most likely outcome will be a close approaching rock that misses us."
Such an impact could cause an explosion in the atmosphere, called an "airburst," or could cause an impact crater when it slams into the ground. This is enough to see asteroid #2024YR4 leap to the top of the #ESA's #NEO impact Risk List and #NASA's Sentry Risk Table.

@jeffjarvis In my opinion, what happens is that Trump chooses the “easiest” solution (to get quick results and out of laziness). He doesn’t care at all about the people of the invaded Ukraine or about the US allies. Basically, these are two rulers with #fascist tendencies (Trump) and #neo-communist ambitions (Putin) - and therefore they can both get together and share the spoils!
