Is the world at it's most dangerous point in history or am I paranoid?

Question

I'm 33 and I remember being scared in 1985 when I learned that U.S.S.R. had nuclear weapons pointed at us and we on them. I wasn't around in the 50's and Cuba Missle Crises but I've heard J.F.K.'s recordings and Robert MacNamara's retelling of events. That being said, Nuclear Proliferation is the worlds most serious issue and all the leaders in Washington, D.C. know it. I've been watching C-Span and I've heard Madiline Albright testify before congress and I got the picture. I think the Genie's out of the bottle and it's just a matter of time before one of the countries who have nuclear capabilities nuclear bombs Isreal or someone else or there's a revolution in one of these countries and the nuclear bombs fall into the hands of some crazies and they blow up the Sunnis or the Shiites or something and start Nuclear War. Am I right? How can I sleep tonight? I'm worried.

Answer 1

No. The world has always been a dangerous place in both political and natural terms.

Israel would never get nuked because the land is just a sacred to Muslims as it is Jews and Christians.

Nukes are the least of the worries in my view. Water supply poisoning, economic warfare etc are far more likely.

Answer 2

Not long after World War II, some Canadian Airforce craft wandered within range of U.S. radar in Washington State. Since they were unidentified, an alert was issued, air-raid sirens were set off, and all up and down the west coast we waited for the big flash of an atom bomb. I was in school that day, and we got to spend an hour under our desks, waiting to die. Finally an all -clear was sounded, but it made a heck of an impression.

I think mid 1950s to late 1960s were worse that today. Anyone with half a brain can figure out that neither Iran, N.Korea or the "insurgents" in Iraq are any more likely to drive their taxi cabs across the ocean and blow up a major target than the ever were.

9/11 only made us aware of the danger that had always been there, and which remains undiminished no matter how many parts of the Constitution are nullified by the bushbabies.

immediately up you're quite paranoid. people do not inspect you any in a unique way then they seem at the different stranger on the line. no longer to sound damaging, yet you, a useless ringer for some thing else people (till you're a relative) are fairly no longer major to those people you imagine are judging you. they have their personal lives to steer and are not very worried about you, basically as you're not any further worried about them. You for sure have many subject matters you want to address. And that is solid that you've taken the steps in route of progression. you've for sure come some distance. Thirty isn't previous, that is not any longer a previous due degree of existence... you've a lot more beneficial time to stay, fulfill your objectives and objectives, and grow to be the guy you want to be. i'd advise that you get an effective therapist and bypass from there. it may help to placed issues in attitude and get you to comprehend that regardless of your shortcomings you nonetheless have dissimilar time to regulate issues.do not get indignant at those who've done no longer some thing to you. that is not any longer properly worth it. think ofyou've got more advantageous your existence appreciably, yet those people don't understand that. you need to not experience like you owe them an explanaion because deep down they don't care... that is none of their organization besides. concentration on your self quite than what others imagine of you. solid success!

Bible Prophecy actually states something as nuclear effect in end times...

Zechariah 14:12 This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.

Again there is something about a mushroom clouds from nuclear blast..

Acts 2:19 will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.

As for America well it broke the rules of Job 3:2 when it tried to have Israel divide it's land between Palestine

Job 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Answer 5

No it is not at it's most dangerous. In world war two millions of people lost there lives and the attack on Pearl Haber happened. During Vietnam many people lost there lives, and they had a very smilier situation to what the united states has now. If they take a way the grunts of our troops we will be at risk for another attack. Be afraid, but also try to help and do something about it!

Answer 6

I don't worry about it because worrying doesn't get your anywhere. If we all want a better world we need to collectively seek this out (ever heard of the collective conscienceness?). I think it can be done and much is being done-even though it isn't in the public eye as much.

Answer 7

We are indeed at the most critical point ever in the history of man. My deep faith in God is the only thing that lets me sleep soundly.

Answer 8

You bet. In case you and any of the readers on this site didn´t know ; we´re at the brewing stages of World War Three. Which could be the ultimate war of the worlds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

I'm not. I'm sure a worldwide catastrophic natural event will wipe homo sapiens right out of existence eventually anyway.

Answer 10

No, it is not at the moment, however things may become worse.
