... 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

Sweet dreams.
The best Maiden song
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?Quote:
