Love the smell of napalm in the morning?
APB26-Sep-22
The whole world seems to be "tooling up"...tripling its spend on high-tech weapons and war machinery ... suddenly cost isn't an issue.....it's a great time to have a job in modern combat manufacturing, isn't it? A real boom time for one and all...the tills are ringing...the more hi tech the better...they can't build it all fast enough...have we got enough drones? better strap some guns on those robots from Boston Dynamics...when are those submarines coming?....anybody else getting a bit nervous?...or is that just me?

      When Christ comes nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. May he come quickly.

                    The signs just like the signs from the early thirties have been around for some time now, so why didn't anyone see them? We are supposed to learn from history but some people want to re-write it rather than learn from it. Some people will get a heck of a shock if war does come because it simply won't fit their WOKE ideals.

                            If Putin lets his nukes off we won't need to worry, and I think most fighting will be done via drones not fighting men.

                            When i was young- not even a teen- there was a book in our book shelf by Neville Shute "On the Beach". I read it several times and the end still haunts me. But now it haunts me because the fear of things ending like that is still present- and for my precious daughter..our children- hard to think about it. While typing this a Youtube vid on my feed has come up "Emergency on Planet Earth" A song by Jamiroquai.

                              I can't stop a world war from kicking off so I don't care to be completely honest. If it happens it happens. If I get killed so be it. I've had some fun here but it drives me mental anyway.

                                    If you listen to the news, you are bound to wonder what is going to happen next. It seems it isn't safe to leave your house, and that isn't safe either. If you do have a weapon, who has time to get it out if a surprise intruder shows up? I feel like a sitting duck hoping that everyone else is working on a solution to all of these problems we seem to be having at once! I wonder how we got so much technology so quickly! Personally, I the feel the government is working with the aliens for help with technology because it has moved so quickly, but who explains how it works? We have no idea how anything works or if it's safe to use. Everyone accepts whatever comes our way and can't get on the bandwagon fast enough. I'm very leery of cell phones and tracking devices, but who wants the job of tracking all of us boring citizens who are just living our lives? It is extremely frightening to think of another world war. It will be like no other we have ever imagined! We've been fortunate to not have war on our own soil since the Civil War! With the weapons we have, it's probably whoever fires first wins! That will be the end of their enemy in a very short time! There will be no one to fight back because we'll all be obliterated. I think it's in God's hands, and what is to be will be. If we love the Lord, we should fear nothing! Death is not the worst thing that can happen to us for we will all die in time. It's the suffering that is worse. When things are this bad, religion is all we have to hold on to. If you don't believe, what hope do you have? I'd rather believe and be wrong than not believe and be wrong! What can it hurt to love the Lord who loves us and promises us eternal life? That's how I'm getting through the fear. I have no children so I'm basically alone. If I had children, I'd be more concerned about dying and possibly leaving them behind to a world of suffering, but will God leave the children to suffer? No loving father would do that! Teach your children well, know what they are doing and what their mindset is. Bring them up with a strong foundation and don't raise them to fear living life. We have to take chances within reason, or we aren't living at all! Pray for our country and the world!

                                                  If a certain person would stop threatening to use nuclear bombs and does use some, then maybe climate change won't be an issue any more. You're not alone about being concerned and some what anxious. It's all the unknown possibilities that is scary and what may become of humans and earth. It certainly isn't in the hands of some one who is of sound mind and who is not willing to back down as he has to win at what ever cost. Now that is scary and very heart breaking. It could mean the end of the world as we know it. So sad but very true.

                                                        Of course the USA, China, Russia, the UK, Australia, India, Japan and all the others are jumping onto the Arms Race. Their Governments and Opposition Politicians would like nothing better than to have another Great, Big WAR. Just think what it would do for their Economies? Their Unemployment? Money pouring in, millions in uniforms all hopefully going out to get killed - our politicians, naturally, are Safe. they declare themselves to be "Essential to the War Effort", all of them making a fortune out of their Black Market dealing. They conduct their so-called "War games". Conservative, Republican, Democrat, Labor politicians around the world love to chatter as to how concerned they are about Climate Change - here in Australia the relatively new Labor Government under Anthony Albanese has been gasbagging on and on about it all the while they are polluting our lands, seas, rivers with the emissions from their fighter aircraft, their bombs, rockets and anything else they can blow up! A War is almost inevitable. The UN, whilst it allows the UN Security Council made up of China, the US, Russia, France and still for some weird reason the now defunct UK, to exercise the Veto, is a toothless tiger. Like our politicians all they do is chatter endlessly as to how terrible the ILLEGAL Invasion of Ukraine by Russia is, the genocide taking place in Myanmar and that of the Uighurs in China by the despotic Chinese Communist Party Government. With a Nice Big War in the US the politicians could forcibly enlist all their Second Class Citizens -African Americans, Latinos etc. with the hope they all get killed. China would send all the Uighurs, Myanmar the Rohingas, Russia all those who protest against the Russian Dictator Putin - the opportunities to get rid of the Unemployed, Troublemakers, Prisoners and any other Undesirables the politicians can think of are endless. The World is a mess and no-one has any idea how to fix it.

Ukraine has offered asylum for those who defect from Russia. After knowing what happened in the holocaust - how is it the world stands by and allows narcissist Putin to get away with it. Whether Ukraine is a part of Nato or not, countries should step in. Countries try for peace but with selfish, self-centred leaders like Russia and China and many other countries we need to protect our countries against them. Hence a world war may happen but let's hope not.

If they drop the big one, they drop the big one. Living for today works best for me or else I start running round like Chicken Little yelling 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling'. Anxiety sucks! But you know what I mean? There have always been despots and power brokers, who think the more ducats they have in the bank the better they are as people. It isn't right, but in the long-run how do we stop it from happening? I don't despair, but I do observe people when they are in group situations and wonder where on earth our heads are as a species. Sometimes even myself included!

Violence is a way of life in the USA. The Department of Defense (in the USA) spends more on military personnel, equipment, hardware, software, etc.- than the rest of world (722 billion (now) and ever-increasing sum) - COMBINED! What is your point (or I don't understand what point you are making)?

Countries for the exactly equality in all things so they would be a force to be reckoned with. Ann Hamby it helps keep them safe

One would think after all the wars our world has gone through no one would even think about going there again. If and when it happens again, it will be total destruction I feel and there will be nothing left for anyone to rule. Probably the only survivors will be the cockroaches and other creepy crawlies.
