What's the point of setting it so close during peacetime? Unless they know something we don't, it's going to be really awkward when we're actually on the brink of nuclear war and they can't move the clock any closer to midnight.

i'm sure it's inspired by Annoying Orange, but honestly did you expect them to ignore the fact that the new US president 1) considers the use of nuclear weapons a viable option 2) ignores the very real threat of climate change and 3) opposes some of the institutions holding the world together, such as the UN (also, brexit and the EU)

I love how you think the UN has had any hand in stopping war. That's cute.

Ever read Watchmen? It's a comic book but it's rather sophisticated with a lot of underlying themes and imagery. The Doomsday Clock is actually a major symbol throughout the book.
