The Russian invasion of Ukraine did not go down well with the United States, and China’s hovering attitude over Taiwan is another hurdle that must be dealt with. While the United States increases its involvement in Ukraine, it is keeping a close eye on China’s involvement with Russia.
The Ukraine war reached a murderous and bloody first anniversary. The recent spy balloon drama over the US territories is seen by many, including the US military, as a challenge by China to gain the top position as a world power. The revived rivalry is long overdue, but undermining the US military position spells doom for any country.
If you have a bomb shelter, that is one problem solved. However, if you live close to military bases or areas with high target risk, then it is best to change locations to safe zones at the sound of a war siren. Some items to have are:
A ready-to-go bug-out bag is a large carry-on with all the essentials to keep you and your loved ones safe during a war. It also contains necessary tools like navigation materials (a map and compass), water, food, a flashlight, a fire starter, a radio or two-way communication system, and an emergency shelter.
In addition, you must include a respiratory gas mask with goggles. This is mandatory for any wartime preparation. Weapons with dangerous chemicals will leak their content into the surrounding environment. These will keep you from inhaling or having any on your face or body. It is also best to have long sleeves and boots to protect your body.
Whether you have a permanent or temporary emergency shelter, get a 2-dual protection filter in your survival kit. This simple device allows you to keep the air in your surroundings clean and free from gaseous and dangerous pollutants, VCOS, and odors.
We have seen the negative impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including the rising death toll, homelessness, and starving people, especially children. We do not want another war, as civilians suffer the most. However, it is best to prepare for the worst, and hopefully, this article will help you listen to the news more and take the necessary measures to protect yourself and your loved ones.
