The Doomsday Clock — used to represent how close the world is to catastrophe — now stands at just 90 seconds to 'midnight.'
The Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic, which runs the symbolic timepiece, said Russia's war in Ukraine is why humankind is the 'closest it has ever been to annihilation.'
The clock had been sitting at 100 seconds from midnight since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global warming fears. But the threat of nuclear weapons being used on the battlefield has upgraded the threat level.
Rachel Bronson, CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists who developed the clock, said: 'The possibility that the conflict could

The 2014 email from hunter to archer - Burisma and the future between Russia and Ukraine - says it all. That was 9 years ago.

We may well be close to Doomsday - but it has NOTHING to do with Ukraine.

Artist Martyl Langsdorf was commissioned to make the clock and told to create an image that would 'frighten men into rationality,' according to Eugene Rabinowitch, the first editor of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists.
The time is determined by the group of scientists who look at events throughout the year.
How scientific of them...

Together with the also-much-hyped "livability index" (or happiness ranking), this is a product of people who are openly "Progressive" in their politics, and the scores are generally proportional to the degree to which Socialism is present. It's just another way that the deceptive Liberal narrative is reinforced in the minds of those who consume those 'news' sources.

The Doomsday clock was a thing way back when. Does anyone take it seriously? What's the criteria for adjusting it?

BS. That's say if Russia did use an atom bomb in Ukraine, although unlikely, it will lead to the world being annihilated. We're all then going to lob nukes at each other. How stupid is that?

The closest thing we have ever come to Doomsday - - is the 0bama-Biden-Pelosi regime.
Until they are defeated - - we can never relax.

The vast majority of the American people do not realize how serious the war in Ukraine really is, with the Russians claiming that they are not going to allow Ukraine to mount military attacks into Russia without retaliating, possibly with tactical nuclear weapons. High ranking Russians have also remarked that if the conflict goes far enough, the first Western city that would be targeted with strategic nuclear weapons would be London, England. Now we find ourselves with NATO western countries sending modern NATO Challenger 2 and Leopard 2 main battle tanks, other supporting armored vehicles and heavy artillery to Ukraine. That heavy military equipment is mainly offensive in nature. So if the Ukrainians use that military armor offensively, and push into Russia itself, or even into Crimea that is occupied by Russia, such battlefield action could cause a Russian military response, using in the least tactical nuclear weapons. With the USA and British nuclear strategic long range nuclear missile submarines all at sea, you would hope that the Russians would think twice about using nuclear weapons, as no doubt if the Russians attacked London with a nuclear weapon that there would be an immediate USA and British military response that would quickly be launched laying most of Russia into nuclear rubble. So you have to figure that if Ukraine and the Russians think twice, the Russia-Ukraine War will settled through some sort of peace negotiation.

These past 2 years of Biden's term in office have proved disastrous for the U.S.A. and beyond. We erase America's history and Wisdom learned & emplimented according to the U.S. Constitution through the past years at our own peril and that of world peace.

I remember back when I was in Jr. High school back in the early 60s, a rumor would spread thru the school that the world was going to end at 2pm that day.

All because of the weakness projected to the world by Dementia Joe, Knee Pads Kamala, and the extremely weak Anthony Blinken. God save America.

I notice that Putin has stopped saber rattling.
Could it be that he found out just how un-equipped his forces were? Did some one clue him in on the lack of readiness of his nuclear forces?
I think so.

I am reminded of the following quote:
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

I agree with all who consider the Doomsday Clock to be leftist alarmist bovine scatology. You can safely ignore these Chicken Littles. They'll never change and will never learn from their mistakes. Their minds do not bend toward being corrected. They'd rather die with a lie than live with truth.
