It is all rhetoric at this stage , I would start getting worried when they pull all the diplomats back to Russia, as they are usually the relatives of high-ranking officials. That would be my main trigger event to watch out for. Russia's forces are probably in a much better state than the western equivalent. I mean health wise as the amount of youth fit enough for service is abysmal in the west, any prolonged war with average casulties would leave a much depleted gene pool, Considering the average IQ in the west has fallen significantly as well it might mean a tech type of warfare is the only one any one can fight over the long term.

Yes, that's why they invaded Ukraine in 3 days. 

Ukraine has shown much more adaptable / tech inventions.  . Is Russian still sourcing stolen washing machines? Wait until the front gets all the gear and eyes. :D

At the moment Russia has captured two British colonels and an MI5 agent in a Commando raid.  They were targeting Russian infra structure. The British government says that they were tourists. 
How did the. Russian intel know where they were? simply because the Ukraine is infiltrated with Russian agents since the Soviet Union packed up.. Any country involving themselves with this war is run by idiots and will probably pay a high price. Let's face it when was the last time the USA won a war? Dont say WW11 because the Russians must have won that as they took over most of Eastern Europe as buffer states.

The Gulf War in 1991 springs to mind, where objectives were met quickly and with relative ease.

Since World War 2, most U.S. conflicts have ended ambiguously or unfavorably.

Despite the overwhelming military power.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan are prime examples. 

The same thing has happened to Russia, with Afghanistan, the first Chechen war, and now in Ukraine.

There is a lesson to be learned there, methinks.

Grenada?

The United States and a coalition of Caribbean countries[a] invaded the island nation of Grenada, 100 miles (160 km) north of Venezuela, at dawn on 25 October 1983. Codenamed Operation Urgent Fury by the U.S. military, it resulted in military occupation within a few days.[8] It was triggered by strife within the People's Revolutionary Government, which led to the house arrest and execution of the previous leader and second Prime Minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop, and to the establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council, with Hudson Austin as chairman. Following the invasion there was an interim government appointed, and then general elections held in December 1984.

The invading force consisted of the 1st and 2nd battalions of the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, the 82nd Airborne Division, and elements of the former Rapid Deployment Force, U.S. Marines, U.S. Army Delta Force, Navy SEALs, and a small group Air Force TACPs from the 21st TASS Shaw AFB ancillary forces, totaling 7,600 troops, together with Jamaican forces and troops of the Regional Security System (RSS).[9] The invaders quickly defeated Grenadian resistance after a low-altitude assault by the Rangers and 82nd Airborne at Point Salines Airport on the island's south end, and a Marine helicopter and amphibious landing at Pearls Airport on the north end. Austin's military government was deposed. An advisory council was designated by Sir Paul Scoon, Governor-General of Grenada, to administer the government until the 1984 elections.

There has been a push to remove guns from the general population for quite a long time, because when a military gets involved with a country it is "Regular" and is run by a book of rules which is a handicap when faced with irregular guerilla forces. Certain countries and terrains like a desert as in Iraq make it easier for regular forces.
  The Military historically haven't done much when faced with irregular forces fighting for the sovereignty of their own country. But modern warfare Favours the country who can remove the enemy's ability to fight and hit its manufacturing facilities with the best missiles. Thus forcing them to the negotiating table. In fact it looks like conventional warfare with armies and tanks and especially navy, are redundant but nobody has told the taxpayer or the top brass.

I was listening to an analyst on a podcast who said that during Biden, the probability of nuclear war with Russia was already over 50 percent, but now it's close to inevitable.

The USA is under a UN human rights watch, and governments in the EU and across the world have issued travel warnings for foreign tourists not to go to the US. International terminals at airports are friggin ghost towns. 

If you wait until they pull the diplomats out, then you only have three days to a week tops. Not enough time to do much. We need to prepare for the worst now.

Stay away from major cities and military bases. If you live near those, go stay with family for a while. Something is about to pop off. Put together a bug out bag NOW, not later. Paracord, a tent, a multipack of lighters, a wok or pot, several gallons of water, ramen, and lots of canned food. A war is coming. 

More than anything, stay away from D.C. and any federal buildings.

if Russia doesn't bomb us, someone else is highly likely to invade, and if that doesn't happen a civil war is highly likely. Just be ready to survive. Be ready for the worst.

You are right something is about to pop off. I feel it is a geological event. That the general public are not privy too. But the government agencies with greater resources seem to have some sort of inkling about.
