How are you preparing for war?

[Everythingisnumbersnow]

I believe we will be personally and bodily at risk in the course of 2025

I live in a flat in the centre of a major city. I think there are pros and cons to this in a war situation. Inability to stockpile is a big one.

What are you doing (large or small)?

I'm currently buying a flat in London. Feel like bailing and buying a bunker in the west of Ireland instead.

The world is a fucking scary place.

If it's nuclear, I'm going to hold hands with my family and walk out into the fall out.
Otherwise, I'll probably be co-opted into it by work (public sector- non military).

Currently live in rural France.
I was wondering the other day if I’m safer here in mainland Europe or back in the UK.

Nothing.

What a ridiculous, scare mongering thread 🙄

I'll also be hiding my children, one of whom is a young male, adult, the other, a 17 year old teenager.

Getting on with life and not worrying

Head in the sand.
Fingers in ears.
Enjoy the here and now.

(Occasionally wonder if my friend in the countryside would take me in if I needed to get out of London).

Yep! Absolutely fuck all. Stop watching the news and enjoy your life

You do know there is a preppers area on here? This should not be in aibu as it's just scaremongering

What a drama llama

Sending money to Ukrainian defence.

As cynical as it may be, the longer they fight, the longer we don't have to.

What on earth is the point? Unless you're part of the armed forces, there is absolutely nothing you can do, living in the UK, to 'prepare' for a war. If there is another major war, it's not going to be like the London Blitz. Just crack on with living.

I do worry as where I live would be one of the first places to be hit.

An unpopular view but I hope Starmer keeps out of this now.

We haven't had one of these threads for ages. They were very in vogue during the Feb/March of 2022.

Good lord, have all the crazies come out tonight?! Have a cuppa and read a book, OP.

Nothing 😆

How ridiculous.
If a war starts it will involve nuclear weapons and that will be it.
You can't prepare for it, you can't avoid it and you can't survive it.
Live your life.

What are you talking about. Take your nonsense to preppers corner

I'm a teacher. I'll still be preparing for Ofsted and delivering remote lessons from a fall out shelter. Parents will complain that I'm traumatising their children with my irradiated face.

I'd doing some painting, buy some new clothes, test drive a Porsche, maybe try oysters for the first time.

I'm not doing anything, I don't think there is anything I could do anyway. It's not something I dwell on.

Mainland Europe would be safer I guess. We are a fucking island won't be able to escape.

I'm prepared by laying in bed with not one but TWO penguin biscuits and a glass of water.

I am READY.

Nothing. No point.

Don't bother with oysters lol. It's basically snot
