Episode 01 - Two Minutes to Midnight

In the first episode J & D discuss the current global landscape, and the momentum taking us closer to war. The Dooms Day Clock is now set to two minutes till midnight. Over the years the clock has shifted between five minutes to the occasional four minutes till midnight. However only one other time in history has the Clock been set so close. That occurred shortly after Operation Ivy, when the US tested thermonuclear weapons and the Soviets quickly followed suit with a thermonuclear weapon of their own. The dooms day clock plays an ominous warning to the world. Moreover, the Clock acts as a metaphor for man’s fallibility and greed in the governance of world affairs. This begs the question is Trump the sole proprietor for the worlds inevitable destruction?

The conversation takes a slightly different take on things. Join D & J as the discussion navigates how International Relations theory, political Science, Philosophy and history have intertwined to shape the milieu of today’s current foreign relations debacle. In addition, the D & J analyzes divers and catalysts that could potentially push the world towards global conflict.

Our goal is for everyone to do their own research, don’t get your facts from one source, and don’t take things at face value. As Green Beret’s we are taught to think critically, and analyze the facts, assumptions, and unknowns. We want this podcast to help you do just that.

If there is something you like, something we missed, or you want to share your opinion, leave us a comment. We want you to join the conversation.
