Strategic experts are confounded by the Doomsday Clock's edge closer to apocalypse, highlighting the irony of struggling to strategize in today's complicated nuclear landscape.

For decades, the Doomsday Clock has acted as a barometer of existential risk, symbolic of how close the world is to annihilation. Recent events, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine and growing tensions in the Taiwan Strait have caused global affairs experts and scientists to shift the clock's time to a terrifying 99.9 seconds to midnight, the closest it's ever been to apocalypse. This shift has caught the attention of strategists and policymakers, many of whom rely on these nuances to craft our country's plans for the future.

While these experts are accustomed to the dances and threats of the Cold War, wherein two developed nations held the bulk of the world's nuclear power, strategists struggle to contend with a burgeoning arsenal of weapons held by states and non-state actors alike. It's a complicated nuclear landscape unlike anything they've known. Experts are befuddled by the challenge of attempting to strategize for utter worldwide catastrophe, struggling to anticipate the moves of a multitude of players, both known and unknown.

The majority of the world's population has never known a time when the Doomsday Clock was further from midnight. As they grapple with this reality, policymakers must also consider a renewed urgency in addressing the nuclear threat and collaborate towards global solutions.

End with a statement echoing the sentiment that the world finds itself in unprecedentedly dangerous times, leaving even the experts unsure what strategy will help us avert an apocalyptic disaster.
