It is almost laughable that the Watchtower teaches that the great tribulation, which Jesus said would be the most horrific disaster in all human history, will be when the United Nations outlaws and destroys false religion. If that were true, why would God be compelled to intervene to prevent the extinction of mankind? It doesn't make any sense. Given that all the nuclear-armed nations are being irresistibly drawn into an open conflict it seems like a foregone conclusion that the great tribulation will involve nuclear weapons.
“Also, there will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish of nations not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and its agitation. People will become faint out of fear and expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken."
Luke 21:25,26
"Keep close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah, through which the heavens will be destroyed in flames and the elements will melt in the intense heat!" - 2 Peter 3:12
"And I will give wonders in the heavens and on the earth,
Blood and fire and columns of smoke.
The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood
Before the coming of the great and awe-inspiring day of Jehovah.
And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape,
just as Jehovah has said, the survivors whom Jehovah calls."
Joel 2:30,31
