Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists 149d ago

"What we see today, is the United States and Russia, and specifically President Trump and President Putin, about to abandon 50 years' worth of effort to keep the stability between the two largest nuclear arsenals in the world. That's the United States and Russia. Those are the kinds of trends that have pushed the [Doomsday] Clock closer to midnight than it's ever been [...] The last treaty between them controlling nuclear weapons expires next week. I got to work on that treaty back in 2010. I really can't understand the reasoning in either government for not thinking about the next steps. It's in both of their interests. It's in the interest of the entire global community." —Alexandra Bell, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, speaking on @ABCNews
