I've been thinking and worrying about this article since I saw it last weekend, waiting to see if anyone raises it on MN: AIBU to worry about what felt like a forgone conclusion that war is coming to the UK?

War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?

The military and government say the risk of conflict is growing, but we may not be mentally ready for it

I voted YANBU without reading the article. Thought you were referring to civil war though rather than with Russia.

I don’t think we will have a war in the conventional sense. I don’t think we will have bombs dropping or open combat in the streets.
I think an increased threat from terrorist attacks, cyberattacks and the likes are a very real threat and it’s probably more of a matter of when not if. I think we need to be prepared for a rough an expensive few years of instability.
