I hope not.... and if does I hope it will end like the Falklands War (and there is zero change in Uk/Argentina's position over the sovereignty of the Falkland).... We have so many disputed land/seas in the world, it not even funny.
Unless America/NATO gets involved, we will likely not get hit as hard as by the GFC
Could have been worse, at least no one is pouring troops into Australian Antarctic Territory.
I am not losing sleep over this, but just keep prepping as usual.

......... as long as they wait until October 15th - that's when I return from my SE Asian holiday!!!!!
But in all seriousness, I hope no one puts their fingers on the trigger, let alone pulls it!

You should be fine, Both US and Russian elections are after that.... You get a better chance to suffer from food poisoning in SE than war at the moment, I have been to 3 continents, even saw UN troops outside an airport once, never been shot at but have had runny belly from all 3 continents (I love street food especially things I have never tried before, bad prepper me)  Have fun!  |

Now on topic
The potential is there for a flash point but how much of a flash point remains to be seen |

I've been to 6 continents - only Antarctica eludes me - and with the exception of those I've lived in for many years, the only country that has taken down my wife and I was Zambia. We were so careful with bottled water/beverages, but we made the mistake of trusting one place that said their ice was cubed from imported bottled water...was very bad...thank God for Cipro!
We always travel with Cipro and rehydration salts (especially important for kids as severe diarrhoea can kill a child within 1-2 days). Not much different from a bottle of Gatorade or Powerade, but those can't always be found.
Jay - I may have offered this before, but let me know if you want any restaurant suggestions in SE Asia...I've travelled a lot and am quite the food hound.

Thanks zd - will pm you!!
Luckily, I've also done a lot of travel too - US, Mexico, Canada, Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine, Belarussia, Poland) Western Europe ( Germany, Holland, Belgium, France), and Thailand. The worst I got ill was from airline food en route to Thailand.
I will definitely get some Cipro & rehydration salts too!

I will definitely get some Cipro & rehydration salts too! Try to get extra Cipro - keeps much longer than most antibiotics and is a great addition to your preps. |
