Putin's threats: Nuclear diplomacy is back - here’s how it works | Defence in Depth

The Bulletin of the atomic scientists Doomsday Clock, an index of the perceived danger of nuclear war, is set at 90 seconds to midnight - the closest it has ever been.

The United Nations Secretary General this month has warned we are on a nuclear “knife-edge.”

How have we got to this point?  What can be done to avert disaster? Or is nuclear apocalypse now inevitable?

In this episode of Defence in Depth, Roland Oliphant, a senior foreign correspondent at The Telegraph, explains the return and rise of nuclear diplomacy in the 21st century.

Genuinely terrifying what is happening right now. I don't think the general public understand how serious things are getting in Ukraine.

[domm]

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world…

[tuomaman]

Nuclear diplomacy has been there since the Trinity test and it has never gone away.

[r-saint]

Nice punchline in the end... Don't be MAD.

[philippebergeron]

I can't believe we're still this close to the end just because of an ego trip from some assole russian billionaire.

[rgslpvf]

i was worried for a moment because he didnt threaten nuclear war for too long.

[yoube]

Making more nukes is a waste of money at this point there will be no winner once the first one flys

[denillefleming]

General Hodges says a tactical nuke is a small affair. If detonated on one end of an airbase the other end wouldn't know it.

[nrjtrmx]

its been 110 seconds till midnight before.

[sneakybrit]

Why was MAD not even mentioned? Mutual assured destruction.

Brilliant editing there at 4:50 as Putin puts his hand down in time with the comment “credibility? Yes”
Onky to see there is no button.

[darthgardner]

Last time we test fired one of our nukes which was in febuary it went of course...not much help !!

[Tzhz]

The large majority of Russias nukes are now nothing more than decorations for the launch sites, past their use by date.

[elilevine]

Sorry Putin, I don’t have confidence for the kimchi (Kim Jong – Un-China) alliance😂😂😂😂😂

[maxiimillion]

If the day comes to Armageddon, what else options do we have?

[johnlesoudeur]

Humans...the most dangerous animal on this planet.

Ezekiel 39:1-4 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Genesis 10:1-5 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Jeremiah 4:7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

Jeremiah 22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.

All the names of these false jews, The synagogue of Satan, Prince of Tyrus, Gog & Magog Ashkenaz and Gentiles.

Anyone who would design, develop, possess and potentially use these weapons is not only an affront to humanity, but to life itself. The fact that a god would allow them to exist proves that if he exists, he is absolute evil.

[Goldhail]

Honestly politics and stuff calls for this stuff leaders to not the people

[mikegoodie]

It'd be naive of us to imagine that these new developments would cause a change in Russian expansionist policy. I mean, we must be increasingly on the alert to prevent them taking over other mine shafts space, in order to breed more prodigiously than we do. Thus, knocking us out of these superior numbers when we emerge we must not allow a mine-shaft gap!
