Sky Thunder Echoes Across, Reinforcing Jupiter's Dominance

In the shadow of a looming nuclear threat, experts are sounding the alarm as the risk of a nuclear conflict escalates. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has set the Doomsday Clock at its closest-ever position to midnight, signifying an unprecedented danger from nuclear conflict[1].

The global nuclear arsenal is a cause for concern, with over 12,000 weapons in existence, many of which are being modernized and made more lethal. The United States accounts for 56% of nuclear weapons spending, with plans costing around $1.5 trillion over 30 years[1].

The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are contributing directly to heightened nuclear tensions. The US support for Ukraine, providing military aid and diplomatic backing, intensifies strain with Russia, a nuclear state, thus raising the threat of nuclear confrontation[2][3]. Similarly, US support for Israel amidst heightened regional hostilities increases the nuclear risk given Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal and volatile geopolitical context[3].

The Biden administration’s policies of supporting Ukraine and Israel involve significant military and financial assistance. While aimed at deterring adversaries and upholding international order, experts warn such support risks escalating conflicts with nuclear-armed opponents (Russia, Iran-associated groups, etc.), increasing the danger of miscalculation or deliberate use of nuclear weapons[2][3].

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a warning that Russia’s nuclear policy has changed in response to US/NATO/Ukraine’s attacks inside Russia. Putin stated that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, with the participation or support of a nuclear state, will be considered as a joint attack on the Russian Federation[4].

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the genocide of Palestinians, adds to the volatile geopolitical landscape. The article in Foreign Affairs, published by neoconservative adviser Robert Kagan, promoting the destruction of Russia, regime change, and the removal of Vladimir Putin, is seen as a sign of the ruling elites' delusion and intent on never stopping to try to destroy Russia[5].

Experts such as Scott Ritter urge people to think about the end of the world due to the nuclear threat. Ritter's article titled "Life Preempted" emphasizes the urgency to address the nuclear danger[6]. Some calls from nuclear scientists and Nobel laureates urge renewed arms control negotiations, reaffirmation of nonproliferation commitments, and global disarmament efforts to mitigate this threat[3].

The situation is reminiscent of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, a near nuclear disaster. Bob Dylan's song "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" foreshadows the potential disaster we face today. It is time to see through the illusion that a world war is not in the making, unless vast numbers arise from their sleep and oppose it. The current threat of nuclear war is at a historic high, and urgent diplomatic and policy actions are needed to reduce the nuclear threat[1][3].

1. As the nuclear threat looms and the risk of war-and-conflicts intensifies, there is an urgent need for general-news media to highlight the critical role of education in disseminating accurate and essential articles about the truth concerning freedom and peace, particularly the escalating nuclear tensions in regions like Ukraine and the Middle East.
2. In light of President Vladimir Putin's warning about a shift in Russia's nuclear policy due to US/NATO/Ukraine's involvement in conflicts, it is crucial for politics to prioritize diplomatic negotiations and dialogue, focusing on the nuclear articles produced by experts like Scott Ritter and nuclear scientists who advocate for renewed arms control negotiations, nonproliferation commitments, and global disarmament efforts.
3. Given the growing danger of nuclear war and the potential for Miscalculation or deliberate use of nuclear weapons, the art of diplomacy should be employed with the utmost care, as evidenced by the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, and remind us of the need for a global call to action to reduce nuclear tensions, echoing Bob Dylan's warning in "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" about an impending, disastrous storm.
