    2 Minutes to Midnight

    ... no not the song by Iron Maiden, but the Doomsday clock has now been set at two minutes to midnight. The last time it was set at 2 minutes was in 1952 after the Yanks tested their first thermonuclear device. Nice cheery thought for today

    There is a good artcile in the Verge : The Doomsday Clock is the gimmick we need to think about nuclear tensions

    The Doomsday clock is *******s, it wasn't even this close to midnight during the Cuban missile crisis, which really was a brown trouser moment.

    Speaking of the Cuban missile crisis, what's with the UK government ramping up the anti-Russia propaganda machine to obscene levels recently?

    First we had some General saying how we need to increase spending on defence as the Russians have so many more tanks than us and are building up a huge army presence. Now we have some Westminster screwball warning us that the Ruskies are going to attempt to destroy our energy infrastructure because "they are seeking to kill thousands and thousands of us".

    Can we all not just get along man, peace and love. Peace and love.
