The clock didn't move during the Cuban Missile Crisis, for the love of God, but Trump's comments somehow warrant a position one half tick away from where it was when two world superpowers were publicly building up and testing their arsenals, before a hotline, before START, before any of that? :roll:

About the same...but while you sleep, you could get blown up...or something.

There were crises that the clock was not quick enough to take into account. The Cuban Missile Crisis, for instance, in 1962, did not change the hands of the clock, which at the time stood at seven minutes to midnight.

The clock hasn't been relevant since 1991. If anything, Trump kissing Putin's ass should make you move it back

These guys always strike me as a bunch of Julie DiCaro types... let me make the entire world's affairs somehow put a spotlight on me and what I am doing.
