Their already invading Irans airspace, now whether you like Iran or not as a sovereign nation like any other they would imo be justified in defending their territory by shooting those planes down, of course thats most likely what they want them to do, and if Iran doesn't they will probably just say they did in any case.  Tonkin Gulf anyone.

A new president wouldn't solve anything becasue the puppet master will still be the same imo.

We can hope for monkey wrenches and setbacks, but I think that we all need to be as prepared as possible for whatever is coming.

Basically, the less dependent you are on the economy, your car, Wal-mart, etc. the better.

Try to plant a few fruit trees, grow at least a small garden and build up some good skills :)

In a few years, being successful at gardening might be life or death. Might as well use this time wisely.   :plant:

Farming isn't the only important skill, however. There's medical/first aid knowledge, countless sub-areas when it comes to farming/raising animals, building with wood, repair -- basically anything practical and hands-on.  :chef:  :reading:    :farmer:  
:good-shot:
