On the Doomsday clock, there are two minutes left until nuclear midnight

Symbolic Doomsday Clock, indicating the threat of a global catastrophe, translated forward 30 seconds - now they show 23: 58, representatives of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists told a news conference.

The clock shows two minutes to nuclear midnight.

- announced the president of this authoritative organization Rachel Bronson.
So close to midnight, which symbolizes the moment of a nuclear cataclysm, they have not come up since the first test of the hydrogen bomb in 1953.

During the past year, we have seen all the nuclear powers invest in the development of their nuclear arsenals.

- Representatives of the editorial office said.

In particular, they noted that "the DPRK is conducting rocket and nuclear tests," and "the US nuclear forces configuration program leaves room for increasing the role of nuclear weapons".

Doomsday Watch first appeared on the cover of the American magazine The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1947 year. The furthest from midnight they defended in 1991 year - then, after the Cold War, scientists believed that humanity was separated from the nuclear cataclysm of entire 17 minutes.

In recent years, the arrows are only moving forward - the last time it happened a year ago, when 23: 57: 30 was installed on the clock, reports RIA News

Some kind of clock ... What kind of nonsense? Here's who really has nothing to do. Either the Zombie Apocalypse, or the hours of a nuclear night ... I won’t be surprised if a genital organ appears ... Which falls all the time! Symbolizing the end of male power and the beginning of powerlessness ... God forbid, of course!

Another (psychological) means of influence, both on the enemy and on his inhabitants. Why is this needed, I hope everyone is clear!

[Anarchist]

They probably like to frighten someone all the time ... A frightened person lives like the last time! Purchasing products for the future, also buying useless things ... Here is one example of bullying

To be afraid of having children. Obviously the same.

When the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world, my friend’s relative, 32, who at that time worked in a good position at the bank, quit his job, sold his apartment, built a bomb shelter in the country, bought provisions ... Now he lives with his family - his wife and two there are no children in this bomb shelter (there is no house in the country house - I took it apart to make way for the "ark"). Still eating expired canned food. He works as a watchman in a summer cottage and a janitor in a village nearby ...
We experienced 90 in this country. They didn’t run away, didn’t drink too much and didn’t let a bullet into their temple. What end of the world or apocalypse can we scare?

[Star]

I dug a good mink once so much food fit.
And by the way, some bomb shelters will be better than apartments.

The size of about "Khrushchev" -two, they only live on nine square meters. meters. Everything else is a warehouse. He counted for about six months or a year. When I saw her - a friend drove on an excursion - I remembered the movie "Explosion from the Past" with B. Frezer. Only there everything ends with a happy end, but here .......... They didn’t take it back to the bank because the whole bank knew about this "ark" and the authorities decided that they didn’t need such a nut. But to change this bunker back to the apartment, as you know, will not work. This "cottage" is already and how to sell the cottage can not. So it works, poor fellow, a caretaker-janitor and eats canned goods-delay .....
A friend drove on an excursion due to the fact that I did not believe it - I thought that he was free to retell the mentioned film to me. I saw the bunker alive - stunned ....

Well, now you know where to go in the case of Armageddon ))))
In general, his wife is good, she supported her husband in the "difficult moment of the apocalypse", did not give up.

My wife then bought 4 candles and a box of matches, just in case.

I always have a gas stove in my apartment, two packs of candles and matches. So just in case, suddenly the electricity is cut off or something.

Once upon a time there were Russians. Ordinary, in general, people. Fruited, sowed bread, fought. And the devil pulled them to look beyond the Ural Mountains.
- Aha! - The Russians said, peering into the abyss of space.
“Yeah,” the Abyss answered quietly, peering at the Russians.
- Yo! - The Russians said, scratched their heads and climbed into the Abyss, which they called Siberia for clarity.
The abyss gurgled and slightly poured over to the Russians, causing the Time of Troubles. The Russians slowed down, put things in order, and again went to Siberia. Yes, so carried away that they wandered all the way to America. But they quickly came to their senses — somehow it’s not good when the Abyss ends with the Americans. And they quickly sold the excess. Better let the Pacific be at the end!
And floundered for centuries in their Abyss. Complained about fools and roads. Although what is there to be indignant? What are the roads in the Abyss? And how to keep the mind when there are endless spaces and impassability around ?! That's it.
Other nations looked suspiciously at their eastern neighbor. It seems that there is nothing to envy, and at the same time there is something strange. What if they have good things in the abyss? No wonder they live there without roads.
This especially put pressure on all the great (in quotation marks and without) commanders. After all, it’s nice to be aware of the Invader of the Abyss! So they climbed. Napoleon first. And there was a smart man! But here the genius is also perplexed when you have the capital - “yes, choke on, we still have it.” Ate the Abyss of the French.
The Germans then flooded too. Well, where do the people of Order meddle in chaos? Wasn’t it immediately obvious: they were one and a half thousand kilometers from Stalingrad, and eight thousand from Stalingrad to Kamchatka! What did you think? Grinded to dust in Russian millstones.
And then Tsiolkovsky looked up, noticed space, and showed the rest of the Russians.
- Aha! - The Russians said, peering into the abyss of space.
“Yeah,” Abyss answered quietly, winking at an old acquaintance.
- Yo! “The Russians said, and scratching their heads, they launched Sputnik and Gagarin.
But then the Americans ruined everything by landing on the moon. The Russians, from the last time, remembered that the Abyss does not fit well with them. Are upset. We thought according to the old scheme - to sell the moon. Yes, even to the Chinese! But those, as if in evil, have not yet entered space. They got it. We drank it. From grief, they arranged another Time of Troubles (in order not to confuse with the first, they called him Perestroika).
Only the Americans did not need an abyss. And the Russians ... They put things in order again. And again, no, no, and yes they look into space. It’s cold there, as in Siberia, there is nobody, roads are again not observed. Almost native places!
Now they’ll slowly harness, and they will rush to the stars. With bells and squealing whistles, through the vast space. Because Russians are People of the Abyss. They are here at home.

PS If you look into the abyss for a long time, then Russians begin to look at you from the abyss.

Some kind of clock ... What kind of nonsense? Here's who really has nothing to do. Either the Zombie Apocalypse, or the hours of a nuclear night ...

This watch was invented a long time ago. And they are periodically removed from the chest with mothballs when it is necessary to intimidate the population with an external threat and, with this hysteria, deflate the loot for armament.

[Nulgorod]

Only Americans need such gadgets. Steeper - only among the Japanese: selfie-goose, Tomatan ...

[210ox]

This watch does not show the time of the onset of the apocalypse, but the peak of the insanity of the state forces ..

[Giant thought]

This watch reminds the schizoid American rulers how many of these pitfalls are left to eat deliciously, sleep sweetly, and that they will also burn out in the nuclear conflict they provoke, despite all their billions.

[rehev931]

it’s necessary to change the electronic scoreboard, otherwise the arrows and dial for mattresses are too complicated, apparently !!!

[birs]

The electronic board with the state debt of the states was removed, and this watch will be removed. no hours - no danger)

and for the mattresses the hands and dial are too complicated, apparently !!!

On the contrary - they have PM and AM. If an American asks you what time it is and you tell him 22:45, then his brain will boil.

[Observer2014]

On the Doomsday clock, there are two minutes left until nuclear midnight

That’s all garbage. “Two minutes to nuclear apocalypse will be when Russia gets to such an extent that it doesn’t matter where they hit real warheads. This will be the last“ Chinese ”warning. And really, the go-ahead is to sweep away the products and the stores themselves.

[NEXUS]

Hmm ... what can we say about people whose sexes are not two, but more than fifty ... and then there’s the “fur-bearing animal” watch. But on the other hand, the northern fox is from our region. Let them not forget it.

[Adjutant]

So close to midnight, which symbolizes the moment of a nuclear cataclysm, they have not come up since the first test of the hydrogen bomb in 1953.

What about the Caribbean crisis?
That was a critical point

[zyzx]

There the leaders were smarter. Especially from the enemy side.

[Vincent]

But from our side, they weren’t shown the watch, but a very real mother of 60 megatons, and if they wanted to, a hundred could get into a real Kuzkin’s mother.

[Redfox3k]

Yes, how can I say .... to stick medium-range ballistic missiles in Turkey, on the border with the state having an equally impressive arsenal ... and at the same time be surprised when rockets were launched in Cuba in response ... "what about us?"

[Egorovich]

Crazy games of people of the schizoid type from hospital ward No. 6.

[Masya masya]

terribly driven again ... poor state population ...

[rruvim]

Here are masochists !!!

[Fedorov]

After such words, the watch can be summed up.

And the rest, stupid grandmas earn on fear

the president of this authoritative organization is Rachel Bronson.

[Makarov]

In short, it is unlikely ...)

[_Jack_]

During the past year, we have seen all the nuclear powers invest in the development of their nuclear arsenals.

So what? If we compare nuclear arsenals and delivery vehicles now and when the USA and the USSR had their maximum, then according to their logic in those days, this watch was not just 12, but half past five.

[NKT]

The clock will show eleven when the US is gone.

[petrol cutter]

"On the Doomsday Clock, two minutes left before nuclear midnight"
What time is it? Will I have time to finish the soup? I would like to understand ...

[Fedorov]

You’ll also see great-grandchildren! If you keep the liver with such news and it happens after soup or during something else you want, most importantly do not turn on the TV.

[Langf]

Put on the first half and do not bother. What is the use of this watch, if before midnight no one can reach it ....

[Midshipman]

Only do not scare us with this garbage. You yourself - please, but we always have twelve without one second, so that you!

[Paranoid50]

Quote: Midshipman

we always have twelve without one second,

Oh, how long ago it was, almost thirty years ago ... And then I heard a wonderful song ... In short, their clock is lying, and time is still rampant.

[Starik72]

If they have two minutes left on their watch, before the apocalypse, then it turns out that WE survived these minutes at least seven hours earlier, and we don’t face anything.

And the Baltic looking at the clock hands, which show 11:20, will say, at ten minutes to half past ten, oh how it is!

[tosha.chuhontzev]

This is a watch for stupid Americans, so that they build shelters, loaded with food for several years. Such orders cost millions of dollars. Ordinary business on fear. A reprint of such news disgraces such a publication as Military Review. Anyway, it's all for information.

[viciva69]

By willpower and everything, everything, I push aside one minute ago.

[igorka357]

Oh yeah ... finally! As long as possible, we Russians already live once, raise children like the last time ... But you Americans are afraid of us barbarians, we have nuclear weapons, we can wipe your empire into powder , but what are we .. we can do this a hundred times, you’re the stinky of the world, even Eun shuganul, and you still yapping at us!

[Seraphimamur]

The end of the world is near run to the store and buy everything and all the remaining money - this is what this song is about. Already some kind of irritation from such a primitive and stupidity.

[Wedmak]

I’m very interested in what should happen for this watch to show, say, 06: 00 ... Middle Ages of civilization? Or is it ancient Egypt?

[Old26]

Yes, you have found fault with the clock. More than half a century have been a SYMBOL indicating people - "Stop, you are on the edge of the VOICE", so now, many on Military Review dislike this? What don't you like? Clock? Or a warning that we are closer to the edge of the abyss ???? Or there are no other activities to discuss why the clock and why without two nuclear midnight ???
Let them then discuss why the car’s wheels are round and not oval or triangular. Discussions of approximately the same order

[Archivist Vasya]

Yes, translate already at midnight, I stopped to wait ...
It will be especially funny - when at midnight NOTHING happens, and at one minute the first too))))
PS If it happens, I'm afraid even the clock will not have time to translate
