I think we are, perhaps not necessarily an armed combat style but definitely something is going on behind closed doors, first it was get ready for possible El Nino type weather , then a possible power surge, get supplies in for 3/5 days , then possibly longer , now they are saying about an emergency medical pack, this is possibly the most worrying for a lot of people on life saving prescription medication as prescription are only given for a set period of time, usually 28 days, so fine if you have just picked one up but not so good if something happens on day 20, ( the day I usually reorder) . They seem to be drip feeding us every few days something new crops up on a headline and it's not just the Daily Mail and Express but it was which magazine today.

I dont think the media are at all bothered about making alarming headlines.
How they sell newspapers and get click-bait.

Not sure governments are above such tactics either.

I prepare, but in heart of hearts, apart from power outages, natural disasters, the rest I rather take with a pinch of salt. Personally.

And if there is a war, well most dont come anywhere near us.
That is not to say it is not a catastrophe elsewhere, for some.
