I firmly believe that the Ukraine-Russia war is only going to escalate. It doesn't matter what you're currently hoping for; it matters what the signs are indicating. And right now, all the signs I see only seem to imply that this is going to get worse. Do you prep for this?

Yes, I do think a part of this is to draw Americans' attention away from what is currently happening in the United States (like this), but I also think that these global events warrant our paying attention, too, regardless. I've given my reasoning as to why previously.

We are seeing continued attacks on mercantile ships throughout the European theater at the moment. A Japanese cargo ship was recently hit by a missile. The same happened to a Turkish ship. France recently intercepted a Russian cargo ship. It is only a matter of time until yet another Lusitania moment takes place. And no, it doesn't matter whether the Lusitania moment will be staged or not. What matters are the end results, and the end results you're going to see are an expansion of war.
