Barely a year passes without Warren Buffett reminding the 30,000 faithful at his Berkshire Hathaway AGM the thing he fears most is explosion of a nuclear device. Right now his concern is being rather widely shared.

This week's edition of The Economist carries a mushroom cloud (complete with faces of Trump and Kim) warning "It could happen". The publication dedicates five of its first nine editorial pages to explaining why the risk of a nuclear war is at its highest since the Soviet Empire imploded almost 30 years ago.

This coverage also features a futuristic article intended to warn of consequences that range from millions dead, a country obliterated, plunging stock markets and a global recession. It dates the war at March 2019.
