You're not alone in this opinion, that's for sure.

A pivotal moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GBjzxYymQ
As I've called it before, a reverse Cuban missile crisis.
As for Syria, Russia has had naval ports there even back to the cold war. They have always had interests in the middle-east, and now they are being drawn into defending their access.

Odd, does CNN and NBC/MSNBC have nothing to say on this issue? I did a google search on anything mentioned of Russia from those sites (Russia Site:****** etc.) and for the past week, and hardly a thing came up besides accusations of Russia poisoning US diplomats etc. Otherwise they are pretty much running stories of "Scary Clowns" -like junk on the front page of their website ...well looked at CNN anyway, big ugly clown on the index page. (edit: just looked at msnbc, no clowns, only videos of clown hosts)

I only see this coming out of non-MSM sites and some UK sites. Same with searching Google news in general, just non-MSM sites. It's not a Google problem either, I searched duckduckgo and came up nil just the same.

I mean a third of Russia just went underground, this isn't news worthy for MSM in the least?

I enjoy reading things from both sides. I like to see the arguments you bring forth(Except Lune, he seems to spew straight party line B.S. withou considering the other side of the debate. Which is why I put him on ignore over a year ago. If you guys would stop quoting him that woukd be just peachy). However, with problems that are not domestic I find it hard to take what anyone says at face value. Most everyone's "facts" come from the media or the government. Both of which are inherently biased. With some organizations severely so.

Without hearing the facts from local populaces about these issues not many people can have a truly informed opinion. It's all what you think you know from what you've seen from biased sources.

But yeah, best to look at various sources, even on-the-street videos, yep. I picked up some extra emergency supplies today, some more tomorrow.

Faraday Container.

Some heavy duty aluminum foil.
Plastic wrap.
Some cloth.

example:
Grab your flashlight (remove batteries), wrap it in some cloth for wrapping protection. Plastic wrap it. Then rap it once completely with the foil. Wrap another layer of plastic wrap, then another layer of foil. Do this until you have 3 or 4 layers of foil. Store it off the ground. Wrap batteries separately. That's basic, might work might not. If a ground blast is that close, may not matter. But air bursts are for widest disruption. They say a few atmospheric EMP's could blind the US coast to coast.

Additionally, you can drop it into a box, wrap that with a couple layers like you did for the flashlight. Now drop that all into a steel trashcan with a secure lid, or some other steel container. You can put boxes in boxes too, all wrapped, so you don't just have one big box of stuff, and also provides a little more protection. Store the steel can/box off the ground.

Things like firearms are fine, EMP's won't harm mechanical parts, just anything electronic or like batteries, or small solar cells. Pretty much it, it's not very hard. Wrapping and wrapping and wrapping an item won't help any, three or four layers is enough. I'd say four if not putting it into a box and steel container.

What to wrap is up to you, obviously a flashlight and some batteries. Something you are not using and can store for a while. I'd suggest like one of those multi flashlights with the red and green LED's (red is great for keeping night sight). I like the little black plastic black & decker's, I think most walmart's carry them still. They fold too, and I've been using one about every night the past 5 years, same one. Shortwave radio. Some batteries. Walk-talkies are good, especially if they have a headphone jack. More hardcore stuff I can suggest, but this makes for a good bug-out kit.

Tip though: if such a thing does happen, don't go unwrapping presents right away. Keep some wrapped if you can.

Anyway as far as things are looking, It doesn't seem 0bama even has a plan worked out with what he want's to drag us into. There was a white house meeting of 0bama's cabinet-level officials yesterday on "options for the way forward in Syria". There is a National Security Counsel meeting -maybe- this weekend where 0bama will attend (the NSC has been at it for weeks) or maybe play golf. Both 0bama and his VP are chilling at the WH having (((lunch))) and blowing hot air to the press about the Shimon Peres funeral 0bama attended. The Russians come out of their holes tomorrow, within 24hrs.

Lots of confirmed bogus news out there though, like a scramble of nuclear CnC E6B aircraft, among other things. I mean if you really want to troll some social site right now, plenty of crud lanks to be had.

Oh, um... just a your instead of you're what I recall. I flipped away for 10min after posting and read and error when I got back. Anyway, yeah, they screwed up the borders in a sense. I don't think it would have really solved anything though. Things might have even been worse; a united middle-east and needing someone to fight. But no lack of fights out of there in known history.
