I'm not going to warn you that war is coming to more people than ever before in history and it's going to bring humanity back down to levels of brutality never seen in generations. I'm not going to warn you about it because it is too late for warnings, in my opinion the war has been going for a while now and we live it everyday. This is what it feels like to live through a world war and we are just getting started. The anxiety is there, I'm just pointing it out in order to start processing it and take the stress out wherever possible.
To be clear I am not for this war, there is hardly any justification for any war but with Syria in particular I think the whole thing stinks of lies and nonsense. There lays the frustration on being anti-war, the powerless feeling that comes with this stance, war is here and there doesn't seem to be a damn thing any of us can do to avoid a fight. Now I believe the only choice we have is to roll over and accept our fate when the masters come calling or to pick who we are going to stand up against and what fight we are going to participate in.
If we chose to fight then things get complicated and in a very big way. Who do we fight and how? Well Trump is and easy target, it's really his job to take the blame for most of it, we hired to do so, but will that help? Protesting the president can certainly help end wars as it has in recent memory but I can't recall any stopping one from beginning, maybe if I heard some examples I would say that's an option but right now I think it won't help much. Protesting the military would help, if no one showed up to fight in that way war as we know it would end all together but, someone always does show up, always.... We can move away from it and find a place where war has not touched the land, but that is a temporary solution, war spreads like pestilence, and not a very achievable anyhow.
What options does that leave us with? My personal solution seems very middle of the road on all the ideas I've named and therefor lacks direction. I plan on protesting where I can, moving away from the seacoast and waiting for the fight to roll my way hopefully many years later than now. In the mean time I do plan on staying fit physically and mentally sharp so my family isn't caught off guard by a nasty surprise. I'm under no illusion that prepping can fend off the red dawn scenario but I can't help but try and be ready in some way. After all we may lose.........
I would love to hear what you guys think there are for options. As I said I have the feeling of being rudderless in a storm so to speak and would like some of the comfort choices bring. Please be sure to let everyone contribute without fear of down votes, this is an important issue for all of us and any thoughts would be helpful.
