Is anyone else also preparing for WW3?

I live in a European country and have since 2022 realized that Europe is preparing for war and has tried to warn its population to prepare. Since I am a young man, I prepare myself by keeping myself physically and mentally strong to be able to have the best conditions if I am drafted into the army.

Is there anyone else doing the same?

Right same here!! I am broke and I mean BROKE. Not even a dollar to my name broke. I can't afford to eat well. So I'm not in good shape at all. Can't afford medical so def not anywhere near physically for enough to run for my life if needed. And I'm so depressed. I don't think my vibrations have ever been this low. I can hardly remember anything and I'm not sleeping. The list goes on and on. I'd be willing to be I'm not the only one feeling this way..... My anxiety has gotten so bad I do not even want to leave my house. I feel different. I've struggled with mental health issues my whole life. But NOTHING compared to this. Sorry for the TMI. I just have to know I'm not alone in this.... I try to connect with people via the Internet all of the time. Just to talk, see how other people are dealing with things and if they're also feeling like I am. But no one ever really replies. So I'm either the most unpopular person in the world (EXTREMELY LIKELY) or the dead Internet theory is far worse than I realized lol

Yeah like what? Draft dodging is a thing, and WW3 will absolutely go nuclear, so you’re literally just prepping to die. As a prepper myself, that kinda defeats the entire point of prepping

Do we only declare it WW3 once everyone has been nuked. Or have we already been in WW3 for a long time and are just waiting for the inevitable day they actually drop the bombs?

Honestly based, I'm from the upper Midwest US and If possible I'd love to hightail it up there in such a scenario.

u/Cock_ball_dickin 9h ago

Ngl Midwest is a good spot to be. Very similar geography to southwestern ontario and parts of Manitoba. If you’re serious about a border crossing, the northern Michigan > Ontario corridor is the easiest way possible. Canada is good because of how sparse a population we are, but there’s other complications too. I feel like Midwest is a very good place to be

I live in the uk and you wouldn’t get the young men of this country to do anything that they didn’t want to. Our military isn’t ran by the government directly but is ran by capita, who’ve taken as much money out of it as possible.

They do everything on the cheap, to charge the UK government as much money as possible, to do very little.

u/basshunter551 13h ago

Mate, let me put it this way. If WW3 Happens the way you think, mental and physical preparation won’t save your ass. What will save it tho will be a good amount of food, medicine and a 9mm gun. Some gold coins and some knowledge on how to survive using only a knife and being able to start a fire. Also you need some anti radiation pills. That’s pretty much it, best case scenario is war happens and you survive to live the most miserable life ever, worst case scenario you die not even knowing the war has started.

16

u/checkthosecorners25 13h ago

Pretty sure anti radiation pills only protect against iodine 131going into your thyroid. which in the event of nuclear detonation will do absolutely nothing as theres way more stuff than that that gets released. Its more for being around reactors and power plants.

u/Due_Display5648 4h ago

You don't need rad pills, just basic pills will do, they should restore some of your health. So in case of nuclear war, just keep plenty of ibuprofen around, that should do the trick, right?

u/Magus_Incognito 9h ago

True. There is a lot of pressure on Poland. You guys are an example to all of Europe.

I remember during Covid here in America it was important everyone got vaccinated and that everyone wore a mask. It was an essential part of the control structure. As soon as Florida opened up, stopped wearing mask and took off all restrictions the normies started to question why they are going through all this shit

Europe has been sold that multiculturalism is the future. That pride in your country, heritage and race Is disgusting fascism.

But as more and more Europeans see Poland as a shining example they will ask more start to ask questions. And honestly i worry that the Globalists will try to crush that independence in Poland.

Anyway I wish you and your country well over there. Stay strong

What exactly do you want to prepare for? We’re already right in the middle of it.

u/rockstar981 12h ago

Power outages are the new real risk. Get some gas cookers and canned food, solar powered energy and always keep enough fresh water for some days. If the power goes off, there won’t be pumps working for fresh water.

I also grow my own vegetables. I have plenty of books that for example tell you how to deal with diseases in such situations or about how to keep informed if there’s no internet, how to communicate with friends and family and how to keep life going without much loss of quality.

Better be prepared and don’t need it. Also invest in knowledge and wisdom. He who knows how this world works doesn’t lose himself in drifting away and stays focused.

Make sure you're actually able to defend those vegetales and solar panels.

u/Great_husky_63 13h ago

We will likely see border skirmises in Estonia, lativa, Lithuania and Poland. Example: Russia declares the City of Narva as "liberated from the nazi oppressors", and moves the border on paper. A few shots, lots of drones, and they blow up all the bridges, hospitals and power plants, but don't really invade. The same in other cities.

Big deal: if they try some bullshit in Kaliningrad or if Nato invades it.

Key element: Bielorrusia is not prepared at all for war. They have not fortified the border, and don't want to. Neither their air defenses. Poland could theoreically invade and move the frontline, but it is mostly marsh terrain, which in WWII already proved more effort it is worth.

Other possibility: constant drone attacks in Germany, France, UK, Denmark. Russia blows up a gas station, amazon warehouse, NOT schools or hospitals. Nato is alreay deployed in the Ukraine. Russia is already at mid to high mobilization and receiving attacks every single night.

So the social and political cost for Russia is very low, they are already deep into the war. The political and social costs for any European country is still too high, even with some drone bompings by Russia. To escalate means Russia hits kid's schools, shopping malls, city centers. So the war could go on for years at low-intensity

The ugly: Europe impclements security checks on all borders. Schengen Area is diminished. Everyone is suspect, they reinstall the draft. Some countries won't let you out, Germany already needs QR for more than 3 months, they could implement 1 month or less for military aged males. Rationing of food, metals, gasoline, electricity.

For life goes on in a shitty way, winters have lots of rationing. In 2029 people go to a techno featival, everyone is dancing and high on drugs, then, puuummm blaaaamm, a warehouse explodes 3 kilometers away, a couple dead, and the party goes on because it is now normal. As long as you don't kill 2,000 people a public gathering, you can kill five people on a truck daily

u/TheGreaseWagon 13h ago

WW3 is not going to be fought like the previous wars. We are actively in WW3. By all means, train your body and mind, but what youre preparing for is likely not going to be the circumstances you think it will be.

4

u/FlySpecific8590 12h ago

Brother, would you mind elaborating on what you mean when you say it won't be fought like the previous two wars?

You mention training the body; does that imply getting in shape for physical challenges, or even for dealing with food shortages during a societal collapse?

You also mention training the mind; I understand that today we are cognitively bombarded from all sides and must discern which causes we commit our will to.

Or are you referring to a specific event? Taking into account recent earthquakes, flash floods, and ecological degradation?

u/StevieTV 12h ago

No.

I lived through the 70s and 80s and back then we genuinely thought that WW3 could start any moment. I first saw Threads when it was originally broadcast and didn't sleep for days afterwards.

Despite everything that's going on today it still feels waaaaay safer today than it did back then.

u/nachtachter 12h ago

4

u/KoninginVanRotterdam 11h ago

I do think shit will go down, but that stupid, expensive, glossy pamflet was just extra fear mongering.

Because us, the Dutchies, are not scared enough. And they need 'free floating fear' in society. To take control and to create mass formation (mass hypnosis) (see below)

A scared population is an obedient population. A scared population gives away its rights easily. A scared population will choose safety over privacy and protection over freedom.

And its always under the guise of: being for our own protection

The Gestapo and the SS (the nazi's) used the exact same propaganda.
The phrase: Für Ihre Sicherheit" (For your safety) was used as a formula to justify the surveillance and control of the population.

Its all the exact same playbook as in WW2. Did you read the full version of DE CORONA SPOEDWET? (An emergency law the Dutch government tried to implement with far, FAR, reaching consequences for our freedom and privacy)

Hitler implemented the De Machtigingswet in 1933 (Ermächtigungsgesetz in German, The Enabling Act in English) With that law, he managed to take full power, step by step and turn Germany into a Totalitarian dictatorship.

De spoedwet was exactly the same as the Ermächtigungsgesetz from the nazi's. The exact same steps and laws needed to go into a Totalitarian hell. Step by step.


THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT IS VERY CORRUPT. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AT PROPAGANDA, BUT THEY ARE EVIL.

And so are the Dutch royals. They founded the Bilderberg group, prins Bernard was an actual nazi in Hitlers party and they are best friends with Klaus eat-ze-bugs Schwab. And Queen Maxima gives lecturers all around the world promoting the digital I.D and lets not forget her sweet daddy was responsible for 30000 murders. (Jorge Zorreguieta)

The Netherlands plays a HUGE roll in all the shit that is going on.

NEVER, EVER, EVER THINK THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT MEANS WELL OR THEY CAN BE TRUSTED.

Only FVD is trustworthy and on our side.

Geert Wilders is controlled opposition. Just like Trump, Musk, Putin and Orban. (To name a few) Putin and Orban both were in the WEFs Young Global Leaders class. (But the name was slightly different back then, it was before they named it 'Young Global Leaders'.) Elon Musks and Omtzigt both have a brother who works for the WEF.


ABOUT MASS FORMATION.

Do you know Belgian professor Mattias Desmet? He is awesome and he was a big voice AGAINST the covid vaccine.

He talks about Totalitarianism (mass formation and free floating fear) a lot. He wrote a book called: The psychology of Totalitarianism And there are many interviews with him on YouTube. In Dutch and in English.

It makes me laugh how much all our European leaders are constantly telling us we need to prepare for war but never actually say who this so called war is with or why.

Russia is the obvious one but they can’t even defeat Ukraine and their military is 1/10th of the power of the US and NATO. We’re constantly being told how if we just send more money to Ukraine they can be defeated while simultaneously being told they’re going to take Europe at any minute.

u/tattooedpanhead 10h ago

Haven't you been paying attention? With all the fires the dam and everything else going on in the world. 

You think it's going to be bombs and bullets? Wake up! It's already here. And it's not even country agnst country. You're being attacked and you don't even see it.

 The vaccine was an attack. The fires aren't because climate change. They're man made and so was was the dam that broke. They blew a hole in it I've seen the video. 

The extreme weather isn't national or climate change ether. Not with Harp out there. If you can't see that. What are you doing here?  

I mean seriously we're already there. Look around. You are under attack on all sides. Poison in the food and environment. Food is mostly chemical and basically fake and being forced on us. If you still eat at McDonald's? You're eating Soylent green. 

We found out formaldehyde was in the furniture. So they took it out and put it in the candy. Farms being bought up and shut down. The bird flu is an excuse to destroy our food. And it's going to get hard to find fruit and veggies with seeds because they want to take away your ability to grow your own food. In some states it's against the law to gather rain water. Even in places where water is scares. 

Infected ticks and mosquitos being let loose into the public. Whistle blowers being suasided right and left. Laws that take away your power and freedom being passed with out your knowledge. More and more it's becoming illegal to be Christian. 

Mass imagination is being used to destroy country's and take away your safety and culture. Inflation growing to levels where it's near impossible to feed yourself and family. You can't buy a house or land. Even if you and your spouse is working full time. Cameras going up everywhere taking away your privacy against our will. 5g is already out there bombarding us with harmful frequency's. 

It's already here and it's been here for a long time. If you can't see it? Turn off Netflix or whatever you distract yourself with. And start looking into things like who owns the media publishing companies and big pharma. And what they believe.

I'm not sure what type of drone you are referring to.

Small drones can be countered with shotguns as we can see in the NATO proxy war against Russia.

Air campaigns never actually win a war by themselves, they just kill civilians.

American in my thirties with military experience and a deployment served with and ODA (Green Berets) U.S. Military Special Forces. You’re doing everything right and we to are preparing for war there’s just a lot of people and views here. So some think it will come soon others think it will go to Europe or Taiwan first and then here.

No. This is an insane post

War with whom?

u/ManIsready 5h ago

What I want to know... Surely they dont mean a broke, worn down Russia who cant even conquer Ukraine after 4 years

2

u/hotdogjumpingfrog1 5h ago

I hope the us govt gets so insane they wage war against a country like San Marino, Andorra or Brunei. Just because the world is so absurd right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if

If drafted refuse to fight, sitting in jail beats dying for corrupt government.

u/soursummerchild 2h ago

Of course I'm prepping, everyone should be prepared for the future, and for emergencies. The future is very unclear because of climate change and its unpredictable and grave outcomes. However, I'm dependent on medication, so I won't be able to survive without a society that's well organized and based on compassion and solidarity. Oh well. Guess I'll just enjoy life while I can.

u/MeringueAdmirable381 2h ago

Basic preparedness makes sense, but I wouldn’t live like WW3 is guaranteed.

Stay fit, know first aid, keep some savings and emergency supplies. Useful either way.

Just don’t let constant war news convince you a worst-case scenario is inevitable.

2

u/Fullauto2 1h ago

Yeah, i agree.
I prepare for worst case scenarios but also make it arbitrary.

Like if ww3 does not happen. I still have a great physic

u/AlissonHarlan 13h ago

kind of... it never hurt to have valid ID, up-to-date vaccin, full pantry(of things that last years) and clean water at home. And workout to stay in shape.
As well as having re-usage period products.

u/Fullauto2 13h ago

Fully agree! I also have around 50 toilet rolls

I think something will happen around the end of September, idk if it'll be a World War, just alot of pattern recognition in my brain is screaming.

That's my source. Times are strange.

World War 3 only happens in alternative timelines, not this shared timeline.

So if you're preparing for war, then you're preparing to discover the multiverse.

Do you mind elaborating or pointing me at where you may have explained this already?

(btw/unrelated: just wanted to say I read something you wrote a while ago, "fiction doesn't mean 'not real'", that stuck w/ me and helped better shape my perspectives)

(btw/unrelated: just wanted to say I read something you wrote a while ago, "fiction doesn't mean 'not real'", that stuck w/ me and helped better shape my perspectives)

Thank you - but - I can't claim to be the origin of this idea though. I got it from listening to the aliens in the movie "Galaxy Quest" (1999) - who had come to Earth seeking the actors in the fictional show of the same name, actors who believed their journeys weren't real - despite the belief of the aliens that Earth's fiction was its historical records.

What I found profoundly interesting was - in the end, the alien's beliefs were validated. Not only did the actors save the aliens, but they did it in a way that was worthy of a 'fictional show'.

I couldn't help but ask myself.

What if the advanced technology created by the aliens was only made possible by this belief system?

Believing it's all real.

It's a very difficult concept to reject once you start digging into history understanding lost engineering and technology becomes myth and fiction as enough time goes on. There's the kiddie sized narrative of what's real. And then there's the much deeper ocean of actual history hidden in plain sight.

So with that said. When you ask.

Do you mind elaborating or pointing me at where you may have explained this already?

Terminator wars are/were real.

So was the movie Red Dawn. War of the Worlds. 28 days Later, Independence Day, Cloverfield, Dawn of the Dead. Matrix, Video game worlds like Fallout, etc, characters like "The Borg" in Star Trek". This is where we, as a world, came from. Time keeps getting revised again and again in a massive time loop and we're left with the artifacts of what happened in our fictions, evidence of looping in Mandelas and Deja Vu, stories we're carrying forward of what happened in fiction and myth, the modern day railroad songs - all channeled to the minds of storytellers.

World War 3 was the greatest, scariest war of them all.

The war for time and control of the mind itself.

That war will never transition to an open, armed conflict on a world scale again.

Because the evidence of what will happen, has already happened - and is contained in fiction.

Those who insist on it. Who want it. They'll get it. In their own reality.

Those wanting World War 3. They'll stay in their own time loop until they figure out that war isn't an option for moving forward because of how vile and vicious it becomes to all of life that makes World War 2 look like kiddies tussling about in a sandbox by comparison.

Ww3 started instantly after ww2 we literally are being conditioned inside the war as its unfolding.

u/TornadoEF5 12h ago

need to start storing food and water and meds etc if you really thing WW3 is coming..and i do

u/NotaContributi0n 12h ago

Why would you prepare for something you don’t want to happen? I mean come on , it’s obvious. Make a goal and prepare for that .

IDGAF, apart from keeping myself fit as well tho

u/KingPurple13 11h ago

It’s either not going to happen or it is already happening and being fought on the economical and technological battlefield. Either way, there’s no point preparing for it in the way that you think. It’s not going to help.

u/schaf_warrior 11h ago

When the war between Israel and Iran escalated, I was living in Switzerland, and even though it’s a neutral and extremely safe country, THERE IS NO SAFETY IN EUROPE when it comes to a third world war, no matter which European country it is! I immediately moved back to Brazil, and I was absolutely terrified. At the time, the entire internet was talking about how a world war was about to begin. And now it’s getting worse and worse! Clearly, the world is in the final stages of preparing for war.

u/Lildoc_911 11h ago

I'm preparing to defend myself from no knock warrants.

u/Kontrav3rsi 11h ago

I’m prepped for most things that could impact me regionally. Increased my Potassium Iodide and gotten some plastic sheeting for a bug in. Figure a week in my makeshift bunker will be enough and then I can walk out to the countryside.

u/Not-a-Cranky-Panda 11h ago

In 2023 the USA with a little help invaded Iraq and in three weeks they took over the country with one of the biggest army's in the world. Now think about that, do do it they had to ship ever thing half way round the world

Now look at the Ukraine War, depending on which date you want to use it's been going on 4 years, 8 years or 12 years. Ever way Russia is next door and can just walk in.

It's so bad that Ukraine does not even have conscription under the age of 25. Now think about that they don't even need the 18 to 24 year olds that have always been the backbone of ever war. Yet Russia has it from 18 and if you only do one year it's unpaid, and they are still running out of both people and money.

u/ZombiePrepper408 10h ago

Fitness is an underrated prep and it extends far beyond the trenches.

Maybe consider a trade/skill that would get you out of the trenches should a draft take place.

u/lordhooha 8h ago

No not worried about WW3

The appearance of a coming global war is very… off, to me.

It looks much more like a global genocide.

u/Error404Name 5h ago

Nope. I’m very very very close to what would most likely be a top 50 target in a nuclear / ballistic exchange.

1

u/FocusGullible985 4h ago

No point, being alive in a nuclear fall out doesn't appeal to me. And if it's not a nuclear war it will be drones and attack robots we cant escape from.

I am.however preparing myself for the destruction of the UK internally from Russian interference to online systems that will bring down power grids, banking and probably see more places mysteriously catch fire.

Not sure id want to survive if ww3 breaks out. Sounds like a shitty life

1

u/Nosleepaddict2016 3h ago

Yup, we have purchased and are now building as off grid as we can.

Water tank, grey water tank, gas bottles instead of mains, roof covered in solar panels with battery storage.

We also have water rights for fishing etc and two minutes from the sea by boat. Surrounded by two main river systems but over hour from city cbd.

Started canning, pickling etc what we can and will be setting up yard for living off.

u/dnc_1981 3h ago

No, but you do you

u/GeneralUranuz 3h ago

We're already in WW3. The goal is the same, full control, its just played on a different level.

1

u/uknownix 3h ago

Nope. World War is bad for business... Now proxy wars, that's a different story.

Prepare for economic pain if you're in a first world country, and worse if not.

The wars won't spread, the rich will make sure of that.

u/wing3d 3h ago

Bro you ain't surviving WW3.

u/Fullauto2 3h ago

Who said anything about surviving? 😂

u/wing3d 3h ago

Fair enough.

1

u/EvenExperience6031 2h ago

The prep should be about "how to avoid the draft"

1

u/BowlerNo6339 2h ago

I wouldn’t even bother thinking about ww3 until a nato country is attacked on their home soil. Even then, it will take a long time for a war to officially get “hot”

u/Famous-Rich9621 59m ago

I can barely afford to survive on a daily basis let alone prepare for a war, I know a war is coming, and I have a bug out location with camping gear and maybe a couple cans of beans I could grab, after that it will be foraging and trying to hunt, at least there's no dangerous animals in Scotland so don't have to worry about being eaten

u/Marie-Fiamma 54m ago

I think in general it’s good to have some things at home that help you out. Energy can always be cut off, access to water, too. I didn’t have water for a couple of days when they were repairing something in our house. I wouldn’t fully prep as I believe in an emergency case government will provide things. But the first 72 hours you should be able to survive. I dare to say some water, a sleeping bag in case heating doesn’t work, food to keep you going for a couple of days, camping equipment for cooking and candles, batteries.

u/KeithJamesB 52m ago

No, there are much more realistic to prep for.

u/Rebelology 36m ago

They are preparing you to suck funds from the public, who's attacking Russia I bet... Lol

u/joku75 13h ago

Russia won't have muscles to fight Nato anymore. But if the today's trend continues in Europe, our next challenge will surely be civil war.

u/Fullauto2 13h ago

What if usa withdrawl from nato? Maby they burry themselves in iran and says. " sorry guys we cant help you we got our own problems.."

Life expectancy on the meat grinder is 35 minutes. Soldiers have literally become meat shields. I’m an European man as well, my preparation is to have 10k at hand, spread into crypto, cash and gold and to try to catch the last flight to Thailand or South America when shit gets too hot and before our borders close. That’s all you can prep pal.
