WWIII? I bought a bunch of old school desks from the 60's to hide under. Got them real cheap.

Repel Russia from Ukraine and deport about 15 million from western nations and everything is cool again. Also, stop buying Chinese TAT and stop buying oil from the middle east.

Anyone who doesn't fancy living in a Mad Max movie should just bash the Evil Democrats online every chance they get and resist all their evil policies. If the Democrats are for it (post-2014 Kiev Nazi coup Ukraine, "moderate Muslim freedom fighters"), you need to be against, if Democrats are against it (Russia/Putin, Syria/Assad, etc), then you need to be for it.
Can't tell if this is a parody

I live in a target zone so just let me know a couple of hours in advance so I can purchase some suntan lotion while waiting for the burst.

Dude, they’re literally Republicans here in the United States that will not denounce Nazis. Remember Charlottesville, remember how DeSantis wouldn’t speak out against Nazi rallies in Florida?
Get a grip.We have two choices of parties here in the United States, one is bad, Democrats. One is completely off the charts, insane, Republicans.

"So, these officials from NATO countries, especially the ones based in Europe, particularly in small European countries, should be fully aware of what is at stake.They should keep in mind that theirs are small and densely populated countries, which is a factor to reckon with before they start talking about striking deep into the Russian territory."

Can we do a Putin/Trump cage match and pay them both $10 billion? Put it on pay-per-view?

I’m not a doomsday guy although my wife is. Only do stuff which improves your life now. Start with growing your own food and collect water from your roof. Buy in bulk on regular things so that you have extra just in case (and save money by buying bulk). Cultivate good relationships with your neighbors. If you want a bunker make sure to turn it into a good fort for your kids or put in a remote mountain area where you would enjoy going camping several times a year.
That's weird that your wife is a doomsday guy.

History says the baseline odds of a big war this century are high. On the other hand, "total war", like we saw in the early 20th century, seems far less likely. I don't think we'll see nations shooting off nuclear missiles at one another--it would be too cataclysmic. The next "war" is more likely to be informational and digital in nature and may look unlike anything in the past.
My point is that its really hard to prepare for a war if you don't even know what form it will take. For all we know, we might be at war right now and not even know it!
In the meantime, everyone should keep a 2-month emergency fund as a basic financial precaution (regardless of everything else) and keep investing in their pension / 401k. Inflation runs high during war but stocks (often) outperform due to the economy running hot. And I guess stay up on the news so you can react in an appropriate and timely fashion.

Dude never heard of urine therapy as panaceia. In fact Boulder has a reoccurring public gathering at the library to discuss its amazing wonders. Big Pharma better watch out.

Good for an occasional chuckle. Yours, however, lacked all cleverness.
Try to not be boring.
Just checking in. Did WW3 start yet? So far, it seems pretty boring where I live.
