Yeah, I have been doing that for more than 10 years.
Take a look at this list, and you will see the whole picture is worse than most people realize.

And the sad thing is, we have known since 1996, this was a demon of our own making, and we continued down a path that was sure to lead to the cyber insecurity mess, rather than move towards a more secure way of doing business. All in the name of easy and profitable, instead of right.

We've long kept cash on hand for emergencies. We've always lived in areas where natural disasters tend to make one lose the power grid for a time. Having cash to get things done is simply smart.

I think Iran will pay a bigger price if they attack Israel, Israel is not led by a joe crow 2.0, Israel will never back down.

And remember, Israel is a nuclear armed nation. So anything too bad happens and Israel won't hesitate to escalate to nukes....

If folks think gasoline prices are bad now, just wait until the Middle East erupts into nuclear war.

Boy dm, I forgot all about Israel having nukes, I don't think PM Net will use them, he knows what will happen then, I hope.

Israel most likely won't use nukes for something that regular strikes can deal with. But if Iran and its allies start pressing Israel too hard, then I have no doubt Israel will go nuclear and warn off everyone else in the theater that they have more and are not playing around.

But once that bell has been rung it'll be messy for every country's economy. Oh well, if Iran wants to play stupid games they might just win stupid prizes.

Interesting information in that article.
Looking closely:

Tehran is said to be planning a combined attack with a "rain" of drones and missiles fired from its bases at strategic locations inside Israel, according to Al Mayadeen.

Iran will use drones and missiles fired from "inside Israel." ?

Makes me wonder. How does the CIA take time out from spreading disinformation across the USA, to know that Iran has drones and missiles inside of Israel?

It is believed, Israel has about 100 nuclear weapons. The problem is delivering them. They don't have air to air refueling capability, so an attack on Iran would be a one way trip for a fighter-bomber: they wouldn't have enough fuel to return home.

Targets in Lebanon and Syria are reachable, though, as are the Houthi's in Yemen.

Not sure if Director Wray suddenly grew a spine or a conscience, this year.
Most of the top brass at Homeland Security, including FBI has been doing the bidding of their Chinese puppet masters, for at least 3 years.

Tens of thousands of Chinese and Russians have crossed our border since corn pop has been in office, it's not a matter of if but of when it will take place.

Be prepared.

The Chinese crossing our border are absolutely a threat. A regular invading army of commandos.
Most of the Russians are legitimately fleeing Russia, but with more than 25,000 of them, I am sure there are a few bad guys among them.
