It lost its valuable strategic areas, the Donets industrial basin and Crimea.
From the viewpoint of Russia I cant see them waiting around only to see Nato Arms and forces move closer to Moscow, much closer. I dont see them taking the whole country but rather balkanizing it, maybe moving the border further west by 100km or so. They would be fools not to do so. In their place, I would have already given the order. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Natural areas to secure would be right up to the Dnieper river cleaving off a good buffer zone from south east Belarus, and from the north the area up to the Zapadnaya Dvina river. That would still leave a small middle section of Belarus unsecured on the Russian border but from Russian perspective they might be able to live with that as these two new areas will partially flank that area.]]> War peppercorn https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/war/belarus/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/war/wwiii/ Sat, 04 Jan 2020 00:54:38 +0000
Could Iran retaliate into escalation? They have already flexed some serious muscles in the Middle East of late.

So, what does that mean? Gas supply/ cost problem? Cyber attacks?

If this is a concern to you, what changes or action plans are you implementing?]]> War helicopilot https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/war/wwiii/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/war/what-kind-of-war-will-likley-most-affect-us/ Tue, 09 Oct 2018 10:25:10 +0000
Here is one that most of us are very aware of and that is bringing down of the grid.

Huge impact yet a likely viewed as a soft means of grabbing people’s attention. If you happen to be in that city or region, you are certainly going to be in a world of pain. What will it look like if power was taken down for a month?

If you are not directly affected in Nova Scotia, BC or Ontario, what would affect be on us canucks if strike was in California or NYC?

Things that come to mind are obvious impact on financial market/crash. Importation of goods from china via California and Washington ports would cease to exist and that impact on jobs and supply of goods here in Canada.

The interesting thing is no matter what the trigger or event is, our preps are all going to help and I am real happy to hear all the ideas on this board about food, power, radios, procurement of food etc. Safe to say, many of us have our ideas as to what will bring us down but it is very important that while not losing sight of what gets us especially motivated, that we put aside niche issues and always build upon the greater impact on our very complex lives. We all need water and food, but then medicines come into play, impact to family, issues about when we are out of town on business or pleasure and how to get back or survive in-situ.

Circling back to what will hit us, I tend to lean towards hydro or financial hit/hack or outright collapse. Both are a tie for likelihood, but there are all manner of other scenarios and other then a nuke attack, the end results are almost all the same. It will only depend on severity of the event.

Go to the map, zoom out and drag the red marker to ground zero. Select (from the drop down menu) the type of nuclear device you want to explode and push the detonate button. Viola!

You can drag the windsock to different directions and the area of radioactive influence will change. You can also see the differences between the same device exploding in a ground or surface detonation and you have an option to select multiple detonation (more than one missile). If you select casualties, it will also provide this information as well.

Don't forget to scroll down on the right screen to explain the fallout information and remember to click detonate again, if you change any of your selections, so this can be updated.

Something to do on a lazy Saturday afternoon... :-)]]> War Wayne https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/war/a-nuclear-explosion-a-really-cool-website/ https://canadianpreppersnetwork.com/community/war/is-a-geiger-counter-a-smart-purchase/ Sat, 03 Mar 2018 10:36:49 +0000
When considering this I thought about the practicality of having a Geiger counter. On one hand it would be something cool to have, but on the other I'm not too sure if it's practical. After all I don't think that a nuclear incident is likely possible to occur that I wouldn't find out about (a mushroom cloud in the distance would give it away) :-)

In looking at the Geiger counters usually available for purchase, the bulk of them have a maximum reading of less than 1000 microsievert or one millisievert or 0.1 Rad per hour. To put this in-perspective, a human being (dependent upon previous radiation exposure) can absorb about 100 Rads in a single dosage which would cause radiation sickness (including nausea, lower white blood cell count). This is usually non-fatal however 5% of those afflicted will develop a fatal form of cancer later in life.

If in this context I have a Geiger counter that has a maximum reading of 0.1 rads per hour, I have 1000 hours to het out of the area! If the radiation is much higher, I would have no idea nor would I be able to estimate my survivability. What is required is a Counter that measures a much higher measurement.

I think it's sad the amount of hate that human beings have for one another.

I was however astounded at a quote on Brietbart from one of the Belgian politicians who said that he couldn't have imagined the scale of horror from the ISIS attack, (paraphrasing here). I can quite easily imagine something like this happening, and not just in some foreign country.
Every time I go into a city to shop or watch a movie, I park my car so it's near an end of a row, backed in so I can leave easily. I look for the exits in every building I go into. I sit facing doors so I can see whose walking through them. You might think I'm paranoid but some of those people in Brussels today may have done a few similar things that saved their lives. Or maybe it didn't make the survival rate much different. I suppose no one knows until the SHTF.
