What’s yall thoughts on these countries telling their citizens to be prepared for basic necessities for 3-90 days. Seen the pentagon telling our bases the same. Then you have Dan Bongino and Glenn Beck reporting the same. Is this all a hoax? And what exactly should we be preparing for? A power outage? Nukes? Marital Law?

Did you turn off water and electricity to your house to prepare for outages?

If so many are so worried yet they never name the thing we should be preparing against... I call bullshite.

If they can't/won't name it, it comes across as fomenting fear for the sake of creating/expanding strings of control.

After Tuesday, we will never hear about it again. It is to scare people before an election

It’s a good idea to keep a couple of weeks of water and dry food (beans, rice, etc.) and some Spam on hand.

But I wouldn’t go crazy. If it’s a real doomsday deal you probably won’t make it anyway.

From what I’ve seen the only threat is Iran retaliation. We are supposedly building up to attack Iran again soon. One of the osinit accounts yesterday posted that Iran has a few ICBMs they may use to attack bases we use over seas which includes England. Iran would be idiotic to strike the UK or US. There’s also reports saying there’s a possible threat with drones being stocked up in Cuba plus the possible sleeper cells who have been in our country when 20+ million migrants came in that may act after midterms.

It is so hard to prepare when people want to know my thoughts. I was not ever a Boy Scout but I do know the organization had a motto.

Be Prepared.

Other than copy paste on fb and people repeating what they are hearing from repeated online forums, what officially has been said

If the warnings to stock up come with a promo code, be very skeptical.

That’s what I told my family members who are wringing their hands over it. If that type of scenario actually takes place, I’d rather get taken out quickly, anyway.

The only thing you really need to stock up on is ammo because if something did happen you can then just take what you need from left wingers preferably

Some people. Nothing is going to happen. Just more drama for people to focus on in their lives.

Dumb propaganda

Orders were for bases to be prepared in advance of certain scenarios. If the world goes offline for 90 days then we will have bigger problems. People will be looting and taking things by force
