Atomic scientists, seriously? This puts the name scientist to shame.

2. South Korea is 13th.

3. The consumption of alcohol in Russia is decreasing.Yes, it is a problem, but not as important as u want it to be.

4. No, simple the punishment for 1st time , non serious home violence is soften, they have 360 mandatory hours of work instead of immediately prison etc. The rest is the same.

And yes, Eastern Europe in general is homophobic. This simple doesnt fit us.

5. GDP per capita ? Quatar, u are the very best economy, true glory of humankind.

Whatever, look at the past couple years, it's been low. Then look at it fall from 10min to 2min in less then 7 years. It means nothing except that a couple people out of billions are nervous.

Yet probably does mean nothing, as a nuclear war can happen at anytime, or never.

Right here, best summed up.

But Trump is the one addressing nuclear weapons, what the hell. They think letting only Russia have newer weapons is a good thing?

I'm stating facts here: 3.Russians are drinking themselves to death. It's hardly the great country you're describing it at. It has a terrible life expectancy, among other things. 4.Russian men can beat their spouses now without fear of being sent to prison. Not to mention how incredibly homophobic Russian society is.  5.Also, sixth at what? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita 1.

Lmao, India is third on that list and that's practically a third world country. 

Where did you get that idea from? France, The UK, and Italy all have miltaries considered to be better than Turkey. Same ballpark at VERY least. Poland has over 1000 tanks, almost 500 warplanes, and 5 subs. Germany, with all the constraints they have had placed on them is no slouch either. At any rate, NATO is far from the US and Turkey show.

And China is first, which is similar to India. BRIC-countries have all very similar economically, and all of them rank high on the list.

I like how over the past several years the so-called doomsday clock has been closer to midnight than it was during the Cuban Missile Crisis which was arguably the height of the Cold War. Apparently they see global warming / climate change, which are both naturally occurring events, as bigger threats to the planet than mutually assured destruction due to nuclear war.

Alot of the things being said about Trump today are the same things people were saying about Reagan in the 80s... that we've got an old senile dude in the White House with his finger on the proverbial nuclear trigger. Despite all the alarm bells being rung by the media and the political left in the 80s, things turned out pretty well (for the most part) under Reagan. It will be no different under Trump, so everyone can just relax with the hysteria.
