Yes, those 4 steps make things simple to understand. Also it makes it easier to make an educated guess as to what comes next. I can see this war expanding anywhere and everywhere. The world seems to hate the U.S. now. Iran would like some payback. Especially for the school bombing which was clearly a war crime. Expect anything at this point. I've been topping off my preps. It doesn't matter if we get nuked though. Maybe that's the plan. 

I thought this was an insightful article posted yesterday 3/16/26
The Iran War: Logistics Signals, Energy Shock, and the True Scale of What Could Come

I like Monkeys analysis. His sitrep updates on his YouTube channel on Tuesday and Thursday evenings are worth a look. He follows military traffic around the world in real time. I'll be curious what he has to say tonight. 

Seems like a lot more might be popping off soon.

Yes, I have to change up my prep water resources, maybe get more containers. 

I like the Judge's site, but mostly because his guests are top notch and he asks the right questions.

I read the article you posted, but anything can happen or not happen because no countries seem to be stepping up to help US/Israel nor Iran. Iran's ground defenses have been planned and ready for some time now for just this reason.

China is in negotiations with Iran for passage through the Strait, including other countries but with a more limited freedom of passage, for now.

Russia is enjoying 'cha ching' and Trump's best bro lifting of sanctions, so they are sitting pretty and now don't have any reason to act in any way...for now.

Houthis say if Saudi Arabia join Israel/US in the war, they will close off passages in the Red Sea. I'd say that is quite the deterrent.

I agree with everything you say. We just have to wait and see.

Definitely get your preps in order. If things get really bad, if possible where you live, you want to make sure you have some lead too. 

For water prep I use a Berkey and store extra filtered water in the Poland Spring 5 gallon bottles. You can get empties on ebay and the caps on Amazon. Add some water purification drops to keep it fresh and you're good for years. I've been doing this now for 15+ years with much success. I only drink and cook with Berkey water. It's better than anything bottled. You can use water from a puddle if needed and it would be decent. 

Mountain House is also excellent freeze dried food. I'll have a bag for dinner every now and then just because it's that good and better then frozen dinners if I'm too lazy to cook. It can be pricey so I try to save most for my preps.

I looked at Berkey, but decided to make my own filtration system as the first line of defense, then boil the water just in case. I have a sump pump where I can bail water directly from the groundwater. I also have two bacterial water test kits ready for the initial experimentation stage. I had better get cracking on making that filtration system.

I have 'forever' food in cans for easy 'in the dark' meals and a primitive means to cook food as well.

Why lead? I'm missing something here. Iodine, for sure, but lead?

I could be wrong, but there just seems to be too much at stake economically for the elitists to push this much further.

Lead = Bullets

In my opinion it's the elitists that do want to push this further as they are the ones who are making out. They're accelerating the great reset where you will own nothing and they will be happy with everything. 

The most pain economically will be felt by the average person. Not the gazillionaires. 

I think boots on the ground is coming soon. A new Vietnam unfortunately. Maybe worse.

That. 

And like you suggest, unfortunately. 

Tell you one thing, stuff sending our kids to die in faraway places for bankers, warmongers, and politicians once again.

We could have done great things in this century.

Instead, humanity seems hell-bent on repeating the last one.

Huge potential for progress, and all we choose to do is waste energy and resources, getting pulled into nonsensical conflicts and war. 

The uncomfortable truth is that avoiding that cycle takes restraint, patience, and cooperation that our respective nations do not have, want, or possess.

It's pathetic, really, and it will all end in tears...

Monkey last night was worth the watch. All indications say ground war coming soon. The data doesn't lie. I wish he was wrong. I feel for the families who will be losing their loved ones because of deranged power hungry greedy psychos. 

GROUND WAR? WHAT THE FLIGHTS ARE SAYING

As for getting lead, we plan to coordinate with neighbours to help each other and leave the hunting and security to those already capable and equipped. But we are looking into equipping one of our own just in case. We can offer other valuable assets. It takes a village.

I'm not so sure the elitists have it figured out, now that they bombed Iran's oil/gas facilities (if true) then Iran's retaliation in Israel could look like bombing their desalination plants where the Israeli people won't have any drinking water, or bomb Saudi Arabia's oil/gas facilities, perhaps convincing the Houthi to close down passages in the Red Sea, and/or perhaps convincing Russia to make the Black Sea shipping a significant risk. This war is benefiting Russia and China and why wouldn't they keep it in a state whereby it continues to benefit them?

As for the other Gulf states it seems US military is ineffectual at protecting them. Once these Gulf royals and other elitists start losing their means of getting their money the people may turn on them because they are all corrupt and despicable and without their money (control and power) they are nothing.

American media's new brainwashing propaganda slogan is "Short term pain, long-term gain." They say it over and over again just like Trump said in 2024 about the high prices and lack of affordability - two years later it seems the truth is "Long-term pain for you, long-term gain for me and my buddies."

Have you seen the terrain of Iran? Sending boots on the ground there will be a bloodbath for those who don't have knowledge of the different regions or what is underground where.

You are 100% correct. "Long-term pain for you, long-term gain for me and my buddies."

This is just the beginning. 

To be continued...

Ground war looks like it will be happening. I hope not. Our troops will get slaughtered along with Iranians of course. A false flag may also be incoming in order to justify the escalation. Just remember you can't believe nothing coming from the "news". It's pure propaganda just like the safe and effective narrative that more than half the world fell for. Nukes aren't out of the question. Should they fly the world will change in an instant.
