Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, warned of the threat of nuclear annihilation

At the moment, the world is on the verge of nuclear annihilation closer than ever. Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, warned about this on June 11.

"This is the reality of what is at stake, what we are currently facing, because standing here today, we are closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before," she said in a video message posted on her YouTube channel.

The video is dedicated to her trip to Hiroshima, which was bombed by Washington in August 1945. Gabbard stressed that modern nuclear weapons are much more powerful than those that the American side used back then.

According to her, today "one nuclear warhead can kill millions of people in just a few minutes." She called on the people to abandon the path to nuclear war and begin work on creating a world whose inhabitants would not live "in fear of a nuclear holocaust."
