APOCALYPSE NOW: HUMANITY is on the brink of "nuclear annihilation" with the threat reaching its highest boiling point in forty years, a top UN chief has warned.

The nuclear arms race has the globe teetering "unacceptably close" to mass atomic destruction, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

He urged nations that have "stockpiled nearly 14,000 nuclear weapons" to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to avoid an international crisis.

It comes as wealthy countries continue to show off a string of advanced destructive arms that could result in catastrophic conflict.

He addressed the issue in a powerful tweet pleading with global powers.

"Now is the time to lift the cloud of nuclear conflict for good, eliminate nuclear weapons from our world, and usher in a new era of trust and peace," he wrote.

The recent alliance formed between the US, UK and Australia has only heightened fears World War Three could erupt.

The United Nations boss previously raised concerns about the likes of China, North Korea and the US, among a string of other countries, not yet endorsing the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

The pact was signed by 185 countries in 1996 but has yet to come into action.

"We have remained in this state of limbo for too long", he said earlier.

Guterres put pressure on nations to take heed of the US and Russia's decision to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction (START) Treaty.

Both states agreed to extend the agreement for five more years back in January, without renegotiating its terms.

It is the only arms control arrangement between two countries that remains in force.

CHINA RECONSIDER
The global appeal for peace comes as a top Chinese diplomat warned his country to re-examine their promise to only use nukes in retaliation, in response to the new alliances forming in the region.

Beijing's former ambassador to the UN, Sha Zukang said China must make the first nuclear strike against the US if Joe Biden continues to defend Taiwan.

He said: "The unconditional no first use is not suitable . . . unless China-US negotiations agree that neither side would use [nuclear weapons] first, or the US will no longer take any passive measures to undermine the effectiveness of China’s strategic forces.

"The strategic pressure on China is intensifying as (the US) has built new military alliances and as it increases its military presence in our neighbourhood."

"A WORLD DIVIDED"
China became a nuclear power in 1964 and adopted the policy four years later.

The country is constructing nearly 300 new nuclear missile silos, while it is thought to possess around 320 nuclear warheads, report the Times.

Additionally, the comments follow the announcement of the Aukus alliance, which has angered China despite the countries leaders did not mention the country's imposing power - but hinted at their intentions behind the move by discussing "democracy, freedom of navigation, and security."

Biden said: "We’ll stand up for our allies and our friends and oppose attempts by stronger countries to dominate weaker ones, whether through changes to territory by force, economic coercion, technical exploitation or disinformation.

Meanwhile, tensions have been mounting with China sending fighter jets to Taiwan after the self-governing island announced its intention to join an 11-nation Pacific trade group that Beijing has also applied to join.

Yesterday China sent 19 war planes into Taiwan airspace before sending five more in a second surge later the same day, prompting fears of World War 3.

WW3 FEARS
"The Chinese Communists have continued to invest heavily in national defence budgets, its military strength has grown rapidly, and it has frequently dispatched aircraft and ships to invade and harass our seas and airspace," Taiwan's Defence Ministry said.

"In the face of severe threats from the enemy, the nation's military is actively engaged in military building and preparation work, and it is urgent to obtain mature and rapid mass production weapons and equipment in a short period of time."

Deputy Defence Minister Wang Shin-lung said the new arms would all be made domestically - although the United States will probably remain important parts and technology provider.

Taiwan has been keen to demonstrate it can defend itself, especially amid questions about whether the United States would come to its aid if China attacked.

The weapons Taiwan aims to buy include cruise missiles and warships, the ministry said.

Taiwan has already unveiled a class of highly agile stealth warships, which it refers to as an "aircraft carrier killer", and it's also developing its own submarines.

Holinessforever has dropped the beat, Righteousness2, it's your turn italize the chorus.

While the whole world is busy amassing wealth, making life better for their citizens, increasing their military strength and arsenal, African countries still dey busy arguing over which tribe and foreign religion is superior and talking about endtime.

The only thing we know how to do best na to impregnate our women.

Yes

When will Nigeria develop her own

Nn

We Nigerians don't give a Bleep, them whites can go Bleep themselves

Humans will rather spend money & time creating weapons, and all sort of evil in tbe name of showing of supremacy. Yet it required very little energy to stay peacefully together.

Best news so far. the world is tired of the happenings in this world already.

Pastor Righteousness2 what do you have to say to this

Another thread for Righteousness2, same op though to masturbate on. wonder who the mod is that pushes those rubbish to fp.

Chaos breeds peace. Bring it on

They can anihilate each other who cares.

Righteousness don come with alternate moniker to spew another balderdash...

Righteousness2:
Just look all over the world and you see Bible Endtimes Prophecies flipping off the pages in Astronomical and warp speed.

Until you have an understanding of GOD'S Word( The Holy Bible) you may not understand what is about to Hit.

The book of Revelation clearly states that when the 1st Seal is broken the antichrist will be unleashed.

When then 2nd Seal is broken, Wars the kind the World has never seen will be unleashed.

The Breaking of the 3rd and 4th Seal will usher in Famines, Death and Hades, the kind the World has Never seen.

Now , with the whole Scenario playing out before our eyes, both from the UN and the Events before our eyes, you Don't a Seer or a Prophet to tell you that we are at the edge of the Seals being broken.

The RAPTURE is Upon us! JESUS is about to Snatch All who Believe and Have a Genuie relationship with Him out of Here. What Hits this world after that is better not Imagined.

The Only way of Escape is through JESUS Christ. There is no other way.

SMH
Look at this bucolic simpleton. I wonder what you would have said if you were alive at the height of the cold war where school children had to hide under their tables constantly. The good thing about these your antics is that you have successfully helped us convince people that most of you overzealous religious people are of very low intelligence. So by now they are numb to the nonsense you spew daily.

No one has contributed to making a mockery of Christianity than you Chosen church members. It's like all the daftest people from the southeast decided to start a think-tank there. Except for the thinking part.
