According2Sam #134

from According2Sam Podcast · host Samuel Winchester

The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947 as a way to determine how close the world is to a nuclear holocaust. The clock started at 7 minutes to midnight and it has fluctuated from 7 minutes to 2 minutes and back to 12 minutes to midnight since it's inception, depending on the level of threats in the world and the measures global leaders take to deescalate threats and stabilize the world. Midnight is the end of the world as we know it! Right now, because of the war in Ukraine and the conflict between Western nations and Russia the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists have moved the Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds to midnight. This is the closest the clock has been to midnight since it was created. That means we are closer today to a nuclear confrontation than anytime in the history of the world. Unlike in 1962 when the clock was 2 minutes to midnight during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the President of the United States is not working to secure peace. Instead, the Biden administration seems to be working overtime to make sure the Doomsday Clock reaches the final hour. What could President Biden do to end the war in Ukraine and make peace, and why isn't he doing it? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #134.
