Latvian here.

Are there any smart investments I could make as I prepare for the inevitable Happening (I mean WW3)?

I'm from Riga, the capital.

What would be smart things to buy pre-war?

Nope, if you read newspapers from the era, everyone was like "Hitler only wants Sudetenland and Austria, he'll stop when he gets them".

Een after Poland fell, everyone was convinced it will just be a localized war. Only when he invaded France everyone realized shit has hit the fan.

As someone who actually has experienced war, coffee, cigarettes, flour and diesel are the most valuable barter things you can have. Gold is usually much less worth than goldbugs think.

Here's the fun fun part: military, paramilitary and just regular gangs will raid your stash of everything and at best kick the shit out of you, at worst just murder you. As soon as someone notices you are trading cigarettes or coffee, you'll be noticed. Expect a visit soon.

it's simply the truth.
hell, if push comes to shove, the west (US, UK, France) will just abandon any non-nuclear allies.

reason is simple - avoid a war between nuclear powers at all costs.

Do not ever for a second think your fatgot ass President, who servers for 4-8 years means anything. He can create any kind of document (Like the Iran nuclear proposal) and in a second Congress can turn around and go "lol no we will turn that shit around in 20 months"

just telling it as i see it. america and UK have zero interest in risking a war with a nuclear superpower (russia) over some european war that doesn't affect them.
only france has some interest in keeping russia from annexing everything, but france has nukes so it doesn't have to fear invasion.

NATO is nothing but americas puppet, which means NATO won't help any of us if it doesn't serve US interest in some way.
and a war with russia doesn't serve US interest. simple as that.

Your fallacy is, Germany wont be next. There is never not a "next" in these kinds of plans. If Poland falls Russian arms are on the boarder of Germany. The seat of the Euro. Poland is the buffer zone. If it falls, we are all fucked and the 1960's with the Cuban missile crisis is nothing in history

Poland, lithuania, estonia, belarus falls... shit it on and Russia knows it. It is why they will play proxy war games in Ukraine, They know when the knives come out they will get fucked by the long dick of Uncle Sam when they activate their 50 year old tanks against Abrams and Panthers

Long story short, Nukes come out, everyone dies. If it stays conventional, Russia dies... which they know... so they die, or they die. Take your pick

The difference between Russia dies, and Russia dies, is a pussy fucker in the US White House who would rather his wife get gang raped than make a decision

>> No.683742

>>683722
no fallacy. i know that russia won't stop until somebody forces them to stop.

my point is just that nobody with the power to do that has any interest in doing that.
what happens when war comes to europe?
US is on the other side of the world.
UK will just chill on its islands and sit it out like they did the last two times.
france will rattle its sabers and hope it doesn't actually get attacked.

and that's it. if any other country resists, they find themselves looking at a ton of russian nuclear missiles. maybe russia has to nuke some shitty smalltime country to prove they mean business - after that, every non-nuclear country WILL surrender unconditionally, and neither UK nor USA will intervene.

all we can do is prepare.
either prepare to leave europe before war comes.
or prepare to fight guerilla battles against occupying forces and puppet governments

>> No.683753

>>683748
merkel won't.
soviets and western allies literally wrote the constitution for germany, which makes any kind of aggression or war preparation illegal.
add to that the fact that german media is 100% leftist, and you might have an idea about the situation. this nation is cucked beyond belief and will rather allow itself to be conquered and annihilated than stand up and defend itself.
don't expect anything. poland might be more willing to stand up, but they don't have nuclear weapons either, so it's futile in the end.

Delusions of grandeur and exceptionalist again my dear burger? You actually think you're wanted in Europe, supposedly to defend us against Russia? You're here to keep the markets open for your own corporations and ensure EU politicians vote the right way (pro-US, anti-Europe), and Russia is the boogeyman that you bring into the conversation to justify your presence. Putin can have Ukraine for all I care. Europe can sort out its own problems if the need arises, so fuck off.

>> No.685423

>>682824

Again no. It's only obvious in retrospect, but not while it's happening, just like the markets.

Do you believe NATO will go to war with Russia in the next year or so? Probably not. Neither do I.

Still, there is a lot of military buildup by both sides happening right now, just one example from today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nozcf_-YNhI

I'm sure in 50 years historians will look at this time and say how it was pretty obvious what would happen, but it's not obvius now.
