Time for a really good root cellar?

Or maybe a well-supplied tornado shelter, given the weather that climate change has given us lately? Or ...?

The Russian leaders, who, unlike the Western liars, speak the truth, have said clearly that Russia will never again fight a war on her own territory. The Russians couldn’t put it more clearly. Provoke a war, and we will destroy you on your own territory.

We're dead, many of us. And probably very soon.

Washington is so arrogant and lost in its own hubris, that Washington does not understand that the years of clear as crystal lies about Russia and Russian intentions and deeds have convinced Russia that Washington is preparing the populations of the United States and Washington’s captive peoples in West and East Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan for a US pre-emptive nuclear strike against Russia. Published US war plans against China have convinced China of the same.

Two nuclear-armed countries, expecting a preemptive nuclear strike from us. What are they likely to do?

Putin has shown amazing patience with Washington’s lies and provocations, but he cannot risk Russia by trusting Washington, whom no one can trust. Not the American people, not the Russian people, not any people.

This is just very very sad, not much in tune with Easter eggs and bunnies. It isn't too early now to plant cabbages and potatoes, for the root cellar, of course. Good foods for famines, and tasty if things somehow don't go there. The whole article isn't very long, but so well thought out that it's well worth a few minutes of your time.

@CB (although we don't know as much about Xi Jinping). The two talks given in the linked video reveals that Putin is not lying, he is also not pulling his punches, and, best of all, he is not beating the war drums.

Who won WW2? The Russians. They took 90% of the casualties and 100% of the damage to their homeland. They know war, modern Washington does not--even though they play at war. Not very well, since we haven't "won" one since WW2--which as noted, was won primarily by the Russians in Europe.

With Trump's symbolic phallus, the M.O.A.B., demonstrating his virility, will he continue his explosive chest-pounding to prove what a man he is? Is it too late for Trump to vanquish the Deep State/Neocons before pushing us into an unwinable war? His various surrogates contradict themselves daily, perhaps because they are unsure of which way the political winds are blowing.

Putin, the Russian, who is "our enemy" is the only one telling the truth--straight out in plain language.

Thanks for the video!

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

I was all set to tell you we had a root cellar under the cinder block elevated front porch of my childhood home in Detroit. It also had a coal bin. Fascinating places as a young child.

Bomb and tornado shelter is right. If I were one of those countries with a target on my back, I would be between a rock and hard place trying to decide what to do. The US cannot be trusted. Trump is a crazy @sshole. I hate that word. It is so crude and disgusting, which is why I have a hard time finding another word that fits Trump and a few others so well.

The point that Russia knows war and war on their homeland is a very good one. If I were them, I would do everything I could to not let it happen again.

@dkmich Including submarines capable of carrying 10, 150 kilo ton nuclear warheads with a 5000 mile range. The subs are hard to track but have been spotted off the coast of Scotland and according to some sources they also have been seen not far off the east coast of the United States. http://nationalinterest.org/feature/5-russian-nuclear-weapons-war-the-we...

The US economy is so fragile that it would take very little to wreck it completely and crash the war machine before it can be used. Everybody knows this except the lunatics inside the Washington Bubble.

Also, due to the Deep State's utter carelessness with its cyber-keys, anyone with a good copy (and that for sure includes both Russia and China) could crash all US internal communications, too.

The consequences would be nearly as dire for us worthless peons, but at least our bones wouldn't be glowing in the dark...and maybe there would be some kind of world left for the survivors.

There is no justice. There can be no peace.

absence of emergency safety measures in case of an attack?
Are there any plans?
What happened to the civil defense shelters where we were told to go?
Hell, kids aren't even told to get under the desk.
Is this because they are certain there will be no attack, or is it because the right people already have shelters and bunkers, and the rest of us are not in the right people group?
There are certainly more nukes pointing at us today than during the cold war, and nuttier and more belligerent world leaders making threats.
Hmmm...it sure feels like my government has no interest in my survival.

@on the cusp

but I don't know if we even have any public shelters any more. We definitely aren't having emergency drills.

But the private luxury bunker business is in high gear:

with photos and plans - you can have a pool, a greenhouse, and a shooting range included, if you like. There's a big waiting list, though.

@Sunspots If I had to choose between a pool or a shooting range, which would I choose? lol!
I just find it peculiar as hell that there is nothing in the way of civil defense in place. It isn't as though the government doesn't want to scare us. We have been terrified of Muslims since 9/11.
Did someone in charge decide we aren't worth saving?

That would be why this is the looting phase. The Psychopaths That Be believe that they can survive in comfort - and that somehow their data-dots will be worth something and that power/safe air supply to their luxury bunkers will continue no matter what they do to the rest of the Earth...

If the rest of us don't want to go to hell, they'll bring it here and leave us to it.
