Nuclear Nightmares: Experts Say We’re Close to Armageddon


In the time it takes to read this article, a nuclear exchange could begin from any of four global flashpoints. And most of us don’t even know they exist.


I recently sat down with two remarkable experts for a sobering conversation about the nuclear threats that should be dominating headlines – but aren’t. For a full hour, I spoke with Sam Faddis, a retired CIA operations officer, and Lance Gatling, a former Army Foreign Area Officer based in Japan, about the multiple nuclear powder kegs that could ignite a World War III.


Their insights are both fascinating and terrifying:

“We are on the brink of actual nuclear war all around the planet in multiple locations… And folks, remember the Cuban Missile Crisis, at least from history books … they dominated the news cycle. And my God, we could be looking at Armageddon today, and it’s not being covered in the media. We pretend it’s not happening,” warns Sam Faddis.


On Iran’s nuclear capabilities, Faddis explains: “They could put functioning nuclear weapons on a dozen delivery vehicles… they could disperse them to locations you don’t know before they ever tell you ‘we are nuclear capable.’”


Lance Gatling, speaking from Tokyo, provides a chilling perspective on modern nuclear weapons: “The most modern devices are essentially dial-a-yield… you could actually say, ‘I want a yield of this size on this target.'” Living just 4.5km from Japan’s parliament building, Gatling soberly notes that if North Korea launched a nuclear strike on Tokyo, “I wouldn’t be killed, but you know, it would kind of ruin the day of many people for about three kilometers in that area.”


Our wide-ranging discussion covered four major flash points: Iran vs. Israel, Russia vs. Ukraine, North Korea vs. Japan, and China vs. Taiwan. What emerged was a clear picture of a world much closer to nuclear conflict than most realize – and why our current leadership’s approach to these threats should worry everyone.


This conversation isn’t just another foreign policy discussion – it’s an urgent wake-up call about threats that could reshape our world in minutes. Whether you’re interested in geopolitics, military technology, or simply concerned about where the world is heading, you’ll want to hear what these experts have to say.


Join me for this crucial hour-long deep dive into the nuclear threats we can no longer ignore.
