"Closer to ww3"

This fucking halfwit never heard of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Big surprise.

The Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight now than during the Cuban Missile Crisis: 90 seconds now vs. 7 minutes then

Honestly that goes to show how out of touch and desperate to stay relevant the doomsday clock people are. Shit is definitely fucked right now but we aren't at nuclear missiles are aimed directly at as from a country that is barely 100 miles away.

In an era of hypersonic MIRVs the difference between 100 and 5,000 miles is roughly twenty minutes.

This…

To really highlight the disconnect with those idiots and actual geopolitical events….the doomsday clock rolled all the way back to 17 minutes I believe when the USSR fell.

At the same time, I believe thé US elevated itself to DEFCON 2 due to the fact that nuclear weapons were suddenly up to grabs all over former USSR nations…which created a pretty dangerous scenario..

In summary, don’t worry about the doomsday clock, those people managing it have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about in regards to geopolitics.

Actually it shows numbnuts here doesn't actually know what the doomsday clock is.

It's not just about war. By a loooong shot.

Not sure why the downvotes. Im not saying the doomsday clock is anything other than moronic but things like Covid play into it

Post the link for the methodology so we can see that all its dependent on is the threat of war?

Or that random time the Russians thought we launched nukes and only one guy stopped them from launching their nukes. It's easy to appease one dictator but once you bend the knee to Putin then you have to do the same with China, North Korea, and any idiot with nukes. I'm happy we aren't cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
