The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the Doomsday Clock at 85 seconds until midnight, the closest the timepiece has ever been to midnight, a stark warning about how close humanity may be to nuclear catastrophe.
At the top of their list of concerns is the potential expiration of the New START treaty, the last remaining agreement limiting the expansion of the U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals.
Serious geopolitical tensions are escalating every day, accelerated by efforts like the Trump administration’s reckless expansion of U.S. imperialism into countries like Venezuela and even Greenland. Trump’s demonstrated willingness to drag us into foreign conflict only makes the New START treaty’s expiration more alarming.
A removal of these limits would likely trigger a disastrous new nuclear arms race between the US, Russia, and China.
National security leaders, veterans, and nuclear scientists all agree that losing the New START limits would make us less safe. President Trump can still stop this crisis before it begins — but only if we demand action now.
Thank you for taking action today.
