You have to pass through the darkness of midnight to welcome the new dawn.

Nuclear wars aren't the real threat. The real threats are the changes forced on us by those seeking global domination and wealth transfer.

Holy molly, they were not joking in the Youtube comments. Did the hand moved closer after the Wuhan City quarantine?

Depopulate with social engineering and disease, bring in new people willing to work for crumbs. Rinse, repeat.

Doomsday isn't gonna happen because conglomerates and capitalist are to busy stealing people's money.
The ones in power, the top 1%, the people who acts like God aren't going to destroy this world because if they do they wouldn't dominate the world globally all those effort orchestrating a financial crisis will be all for naught.

"Doomsday Clock moves to 100 seconds to midnight -- closest point to nuclear annihilation since Cold War"

Been heading this way for a while really.

So as always, it will read right once a day?

Nuclear war isn't something that's going to happen. It's something that can be used to scare the people, but what's the upside of a country attempting to use a nuclear weapon against another? Nothing, there's no benefit as everyone in both countries will end up dying from that.

Nuclear terrorism could occur, that's something that could truly happen as terrorists just want to prove a point and don't care about their own life. But at the end of the day, if there was a big enough threat all of the governments of the world would ensure that it was silenced and stopped. Nothing is worth all of those deaths when everyone can just be rich as all hell.

Get it?

The biggest risk is that someone fucks up and it results in Nukes flying.

Came pretty close the 60s:

tldr;

Russian Sub goes stealth (no communication) and heads to Cuba a few weeks before Cuban Missile Crises
US finds them, and starts dropping explosives alternating on their left and right to signal them to surface. 
They think they're being attacked, and the US assumes they know about the crisis and would understand the signals.
The sub has a nuclear torpedo equivalent to the Hiroshima Bomb.  Because they are completely cut off, the protocol is to fire it if 3 men all agree it's appropriate.  
2 of the 3 say fire it and some guy talks the 3rd out of it.

Then it almost happened again in the 80s during the cold war:

Russias missile detection systems malfunctioned and showed 5 ballistic missiles incoming. The protocol was to return fire before the incoming missiles were halfway there, but the guy basically chickened out.

Ah yes, I've actually told this story to many people. Crazy how no one has heard of it yet. It's scary how close we can actually get to nuclear warfare (and the entire world blowing up and that being the end of it) thank god that's not something that has happened yet.

I do hope that the continued development of technology can limit this issue to the lowest chance it can happen. But then again, it can happen at any point. At the end of the day, at least all of this wasn't automated -- meaning that at least in the 80's and even today we require a human to give the last word to firing off a nuke. Because in both of these situations you'v reference, if this wasn't the case the world wouldn't be present anymore.

I still think that in todays day and age, the biggest threat to people is nuclear terrorism.

And it seems to be getting worse by the day. You know it's bad when Xingie have to say that it's a "grave" situation. I don't know if that pun was intended on the official translation's part.

This thing have a 2 week incubation at most, by the time they've implemented the quarantine those people would have already spread the virus. I can no longer find N95 masks in my city and we've always have plenty of Chinese tourists. It's a "novel" virus meaning there's no resistances to it. We're all gonna die...

Yeah right. Cold war is long over, but people are still paranoid. I personally know some people who even built their own bunker to hide from nuclear apocalypse underground

Nuclear terrorism could occur

This is a known fact, that during the collapse of the Soviet Union, there had been lost approximately 30-40 nuclear warheads in the size and shape of a suitcase. This is the official amount. Each warhead has its own "trace" - each reactor leaves unique characteristics of radioactive materials coming from it.

The question is - where are these actually being held? As a secret stash in some state? Forgotten in a bunker/ammo storage?
