Are you prepared?

This chain of events seems more and more likely:

1)Israel keeps hitting Lebanon

2)Syria is dragged into the fighting

3)Iran runs right through Iraq and into Israel

4)USA is bogged down in Iraq and military draft is started

5)Saudi Arabia and Egypt govts are overrun by their population in support of holy war.

6)Israel gets paniced and starts dropping nukes in Iran,Syria

7)North Korea sees this as an opportunity and strikes Japan and they literaly run over South Korea .

8) Russia and China abstain and the US feels overwhelmed , dropping nukes on NKorea.

9)China retaliates by closing shipping to USA. Prices of goods in USA go up 300% overnight.Oil goes to $200 per bbl($12.00 gas and rations) .

10)All commerce is halted, the interest rates in USA go to 35% and the nuclear war comes home to USA as Nukes are by then flying worldwide.....

How would you prepare? would you just give up? would you overthrow the US govt?

    Don't forget that we have a very large well equipped force in Iraq, and the Iraqui military may not want to let the Iranians run roughshod through their soverign nation, troops in afganistan to attack iran from the rear, ships and subs that can nuke everybody on the planet at will and a great American Patriot as secretary of defense. Not to mention allies such as Turkey, Great Britan, and Israel that can help "wipe Iran off the face of the earth." And notrh korea is run by a crazy man who would probably be overthrown by his own people if they were to be nuked once. and no, I would not abdicate the overthrow of the us government? who would we put in charge? Hillary?

    And, the draft would be one of the greatest things to happen to this country. All of the cowards would leave, and the criminal kids would be put on the front lines. That would move the current front lines and killing fields out of our neighborhoods. It would be a blessing. I wouldn't worry about trade being shut down between china and wal mart, we can all live without amazing shrinking underwear and cheap am/fm radios for a while. And interest rates aren't very friendly right now anyway, ask anybody that missed a payment, by one day.

    Well, first and foremost, one of the biggest mistakes I think that we could make is burning bridges and cutting ties with the government. As corrupt as many people may see it to be, government is a necessary part of civilization. In answer to your question then, no, I would not just give up, and no, I wouldn't seek to overthrow the government. Change, yes. But overthrow, destroy? No. Another thing. Why would Israel, of all the nations on Earth, decide to be the one to instigate an obviously downward-spiralling process that would begin with dropping a nuke? No, I think that's a little silly. Yes, Israel has nukes, but who is their strongest supporter, whose existence is the sole influence keeping them alive as a country? That's right, the United States of America. And believe it or not, our influence over Israel is powerful indeed. Not to say that we control them, but you are far from the only analytical mind breaking your brains over this problem. It's probable that especially now, Israel sees the delicate position it's in. Nuclear weapons are likely to be the last on their list of possible solutions to the problem. And how would I prepare? If and when Nuclear war happens, I will pray for Jesus to come and fix things, because face it folks, once we start hucking nuclear bombs at each other, there is nothing we ourselves can do to avoid being completely destroyed. If it's not in the mile-wide fireballs, then it'll be in the nuclear winter that follows them, or maybe from the horrific radiation sickness that would inevitably ravage the entire surface of the planet. No, we have thrust ourselves onto the last step of a staircase that ends in a 1000 mile drop. And the wind at our backs is getting stronger. When we fall, only God will be able to catch us.

    I believe that each of us should live our lives like we will live to see 100 and spend our days doing our best to better ourselves and contribute to society.

    I don't think we should spend our time worrying over things we have no control over, like the war overseas or the weather, etc.

    If we have a nuclear war, I do not want advance warning, I'd rather it just happen since I would not expect or even want to survive a nuclear war.

    So prepared? I'm as prepared as I will be.
