UK Government Says Start Stocking Up, But It Speaks of Weather, Not the War

It makes sense.

Exclusive: Angela Eagle urges UK citizens to be ‘a bit more resilient’ as they plan for national emergencies

We have entered a war in Europe. It’s not an overnight “thing” and there won’t be a formal announcement about it. Finland (NATO) is at risk and Germany also. As someone with a clue put it, “Russia Is at War With the West. Don’t Call It ‘Hybrid.’”

To quote:

If Russia attacks Europe, and Europe doesn’t call it war, is it actually a war? As the Kremlin continues to probe the West’s defenses, it’s clear that European leaders would prefer you call it “hybrid war,” hoping that the focus stays on the “hybrid” half of the equation and not on the “war.”

Last month, Russia carried out a drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany. One UAV was discovered before its payload could be detonated; a second collided with a cargo plane.

Meanwhile our government is asking people to stockpile supplies. I assume that in order to avoid panic is talks about climate and weather, but the message is clear: “As the British government plans a campaign urging citizens to prepare for national emergencies, Angela Eagle told the Guardian the likelihood of a wild winter showed the importance of keeping supplies at home.”

Do it. Before there is a rush.
