YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRussia is once again floating the idea that it could use nuclear weapons, with Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu claiming in an interview with TASS that Moscow has the right to use the weapons "in the event of foreign countries carrying out hostile actions representing a threat to Russia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity." The Russia-Ukraine war is just one of various conflicts that continue to shake global stability, as the threat of nuclear weapons looms in the background. But instead of working to avoid disaster, the modern trend seems to point to expanding arsenals, breaking down agreements, creating nukes that are the most powerful in history and – in the case of Russia – openly threatening to deploy them. These conditions led the scientists and experts who oversee the metaphorical "Doomsday Clock" to warn that we are closer than ever to a nuclear catastrophe – 89 seconds to midnight. But how close are we really and how worried should we be? Here's everything you need to know about the current state of nuclear weapons on the world stage.
