So I won't bother trying to predict anything.

… he says after predicting World War 3.

This forum is always funny, and survivalists may be the funniest people on Earth. They’re so earnest.

The OP (kucked_a_lot) should print that doom manifesto out…

Then the OP (kucked_a_lot) would have enough toilet paper to clean their fear induced soiled ass.

Since I know many of you rely on "trusted sources," below are a few you might trust. Personally, I don't read these sources because I understand who they serve and it isn't us. So have I looked at these in detail? Nope. They're for you, not me.

But I will tell you the people I listen to are saying the same thing. They've just been saying it longer. The MSM finally got its marching orders, to gently prepare you for the possibility that things might go bad soon.

How long do we have? No idea. Some people are pushing the premise that timing might hinge on the US Election, as in, if they think it helps Biden to be a "Wartime President," it kicks off before. If not, it kicks off after. I don't think it's wise to focus on that. The US doesn't have sole decision making power on this. We could certainly start it... but someone else could too.

What does WW3 look like? Probably not what we've had in mind all these years, at least not at first.

It's worth pointing out the miscalculations and incorrect assumptions NATO made during the Cold War. We expected a massive Soviet conventional attack on Germany. We thought they might blow through defenses with sheer numbers and rush as quickly as possible to large cities... leaving us the decision to take it nuclear by bombing in close proximity, if not on top of, our own civilians. When the wall came down, we gained access to Warsaw Pact war plans via the East Germans. As it happened, we were completely wrong about the enemy's tactics. The Soviets were going to begin with nuclear strikes and follow them with conventional forces. I suppose we didn't think of that because we wouldn't do that to our soldiers. That is America's customary mistake... thinking others see things as we do.

So I won't bother trying to predict anything. I'll only say that it doesn't necessarily have to begin with mushroom clouds. It might start as a nasty regional war fought mostly through proxies and develop from there. I expect nuclear weapons will be used because too many of the players have them and at least one is likely to to push a button as they see defeat looming ahead.

I could tell you a lot about how to survive what may be coming, but I won't. Odds are I'd be wasting my time, and this thread is the last bit of time I'm willing to waste. There are plenty of other people out there who can help if you get interested.

In case you're wondering what the motivation might be, the story our side is going to push is that Putin wants to rebuild the USSR in terms of power, respect, and land area... and we must stop him. This is as plausible as the idea that the reason for terrorism is, "they hate our freedom!"

The most likely theory I've heard has America as the aggressor trying to maintain sole superpower status, and its hold on the "global reserve currency" by attacking Russia with a decapitation strike, installing a puppet government for the purpose of denying Russian oil to China. America also attacks Iran and tries to exert enough control over M.E. oil to deny China that as well. This also has the effect of neutralizing BRICs as a financial competitor, thus protecting the dollar.

Obviously the puppet government thing rarely works in the long run, but I would not be surprised if America is dumb enough to try it again. Somehow missing in our calculations is the fact that in 20 years we could not stabilize Iraq or defeat the Taliban.

Whatever the motivation turns out to be, you can be sure it has nothing to do with freedom. It's going to be about making people who are already rich and powerful beyond your wildest dreams, a little richer and more powerful. That's what it's always about.

So, whether you decide to start looking out for yourself or whether you decide to keep on trusting "them" to take care of you... good luck.

It must be awful to live your life in such fear.

As usual, you arrive at the wrong conclusion. I'll be fine. I have everything I need.

I post things like this for those who don't.

You spend a lot of time worrying about things that won’t impact you at all.

NATO is obsolete. It won't be an effective alliance until every European NATO country meets its 2% of GDP contribution. As of 2021 only about 10 of the 30 NATO nations are meeting their requirement. The US is at 3.52% and Greece is at 3.82%. Germany the biggest economy in Europe is at a paltry 1.54%. This is what Trump was railing about, it can't all be about the US shouldering the heaviest load.

You said earlier that there was no hope for us. So, this doesn't make sense.

What does make sense is that you're desperate for attention. I can't imagine anyone IRL would want to spend a lot of time with you.

 

[RoryN]

There may be hope for someone here. Certainly not you. You flatter yourself to imagine anything I do is with you in mind.

Ah - you didn't dispute being lonely.

Have you resigned yourself to being alone? Do you have enough self-awareness to understand why no one likes you?

NATO is not obsolete except to isolationists who want to withdraw from a global leadership position and let China and Russia take the lead.

 

[RoryN]

I don't spend much time on halfwits.

You should - you obviously need more self-care.

It is obsolete militarily and functionally. Ukraine is proving that WWII tactics and military formations built on those strategies are obsolete to today's risk-averse western countries.

this directly conflicts with your insistence that you don't care about us.

you are one confused dumbfuck.

It is not obsolete at all.

Except to isolationist who want to withdraw from global leadership to allow China or Russia (or Iran) to step in.....like you.

 

[adrina]

This thread was funnier when I read "ready" as "any".

Just sayin'.

 

[SmokingFap]

I'm sure this means nothing. I wouldn't bother watching it if I were you.

Thanks! I didn't.

Ironic, then, that he is openly and vocally wishing that the US would BECOME MORE LIKE China, Russia, and Iran. As much as he likes to gripe about it, those are his ideal systems of government.

So the OP makes threads to pretend to care about a discussion on a topic, but really doesn't.

And when called out on such things, he ducks and runs.

 

[adrina]

And changes the thread title. Pfffft.
