You know what’s going through his mind there, “shooting a door like that works on CoD”

While I wouldnt want to excuse some of the actions of America over the last few years, a lot of people keep thinking Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya are somehow comparable to this situation, theyre not even close.

When was the last time America or Britain tried to annex another state?

I was talking more about their "soft" influence. The fact that they can cripple economies, manipulate prices, support governments or parties sympathetic to Americas goals. Invasions and military action is the blunt tool. Everything else is where the super powers of the world do their best work.

Video just popped up on twitter of someone recording a video message and then 10 seconds later a missile smashes into the top of a residential building they are standing next too.

The guys unhurt but kinda crazy scenes to watch.

Bet the footage will be all over the news soon

That is the difference instincts and training, etc. make - hearing that incoming noise you want to be well in cover not trying to complete your sentence :|

Has anyone here taken any precautions and started to make preparations for an eventuality if nuclear war was to take place? Had a quick look and did not see a thread for it discussing what kind of things to buy etc.

If nuclear war happens, then there's nothing that you can buy at B&Q that'll help you.

No, it's rather pointless. It's not going to be anything like fallout if you do survive the blasts.

I've charged the batteries for my torch. I already own a radio, several hats, an umbrella and I have enough food for about a month. I think I will have had enough after that, but we shall see.

It's more about being able to make your life as comfortable as possible if you don't get killed right away.

Start collecting bottle caps, or alternatively don't because if it reaches that stage we're all ******

It has been going through my mind. I don't think we are there yet but if things ratchet up another notch I think it would be highly irresponsible IMO if the governments of NATO countries don't start rolling out significant civil defence programs albeit it will give some people some serious anxiety.

Learning things like how to filter drinking water might help :s https://readylifestyle.com/how-to-purify-water-after-a-nuclear-attack-what-you-need-to-know/ amongst other aspects of being prepared - though if contamination is that extreme you are probably ****** anyhow.
