The Doomsday Clock is very precise. It always advances under a Republican administration and recedes during a Democrat administration. Like... well, clockwork.
No joke. The graphic in the article identifies 1984, one of the four times when the clock showed three minutes or less, as the year “US-Soviet relations reach lowest point.”
So US-Soviet relations in 1984 were lower than they were during, I don’t know, the Berlin Blockade, the Korean War, or the Cuban Missile Crisis? Oh yeah, there were Democrats in the White House during those events.
