“ Americans, Brits, Poles, Hungarians, and Lithuanians are pretty excited about war with Russia. The rest of Europe - not so much.”
****************************************************************
I’m not understanding why the Germans are also excited. After all, we (along with our UK and Polish buddies who also want to see Germany weakened) chose only them to bomb their most efficient way to get inexpensive energy directly from Russia when we bombed their Nord Stream network of pipelines under the Baltic. Of course we didn’t even tell the Germans we were going to do it. We wanted to MAKE SURE they couldn’t come to an agreement with the Russians that would benefit them both.
Now much of the German chemical and other industrial businesses are gradually being priced out of the world markets. And the Germans are being politically FORCED to spend HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SUBSIDIZE the energy needs of their citizens.
ALL PART OF THE PLAN!
As Americans we have no say in what the powerful will do— Looks like they are inching us closer and close to WW III. So we, as citizens must be ready. What can we do? My list:
1. Buy up medical supplies—even herbals.
2. Learn First aide—how to handle broken bones, gun shots etc... Red Cross has some good classes- lots of books on this.
3. Buy Iodine pills and stock them up.
4. Learn about fall out and radiation.
5. Buy a shot gun and ammunition. or—learn gunsmithing.
6. Take up archery as a hobby.
7. Start a large “Victory Garden” to grow food.
8. Have a stockpile of food and water—At least a week if not three months.
9. Get a stock of books to read.
10. Get a short wave radio and powerful antenna.
