When the Doomsday Clock Keeps Tick‑ing
Jeffrey Sachs and Glenn Diesen, two seasoned nuclear scientists, are waving a red flag: the specter of nuclear war is creeping closer than history ever predicted.
Giant Power Plays
- President Joe Biden once gave Russia a 50‑day ultimatum to negotiate peace in Ukraine, but this week he trimmed that window to a mad dash of 10–12 days.
- In a recent panel, Diesen warned that wars are sparking everywhere—from Europe to the Middle East—and that the dangerous phrase “war against China” is now just casual chatter.
- “The world is on an economic, social, and political tipping point,” says Diesen. “Diplomacy has crumbled, leaving a perfect storm for a global conflict.”
- Notably, bolder voices like Steve Bannon are claiming that World War III has already begun—an alarming assertion when you tie together the blockades of the West, the tensions in Ukraine, and the simmering envy for power.
What Went Wrong, From Post‑War to Today?
Sachs traced the problem back to the 1990s, when post‑Cold‑War optimism turned into blind arrogance. “America thought it was the sole, unstoppable superpower, the new Rome,” he laments. The U.S. “deluded itself into believing that it could move the world the way it pleased.”
Europe’s Dilemma
Europe has found itself trapped in a vicious cycle:
- It’s become overly dependent on the U.S., which has felt humiliated when it can’t govern from afar.
- Simultaneously, trans‑Atlantic relations fell apart in the same week that China’s ties with Europe deteriorated.
- In short, Europeans are isolated, standing on a hot‑coals floor that’s burning them all.
“We need a healthy, independent Europe,” Sachs insists. “It’s the exact opposite of the state we’re in right now.”
