Ok
How much time until when?
 
it is hard to formulate the question.. so please don't start picking apart the wordology
how much time do we have, non-jokingly, until the need for ammunition, using stockpiled food, local bartering, etc becomes real.
 
Some people believe that it could get rough within 6 months.

I just believe in being ready.
Hopefully it won’t get to that extreme.

The real question is - what should I do today? Prices are rising, supply is reducing, across the board. Today there is still time for preparation, but preparation becomes more expensive and harder the longer you wait.

No idea when you'll actually need it. That depends on local factors more than global ones, so will be a different answer for each of us (even if we knew the answer). Hopefully never, in your specific location, wherever that is. But quite possibly "soon", whatever soon means.

We spent the afternoon and evening at Six Flags Over Texas amusement park yesterday. While Kristin and I were waiting outside of a particular ride with daughter Naomi, daughter Holly Hannah, son Mercer and his wife Hannah saw the following people in line and took photos, including two that for some reason no matter I save them will not upload here that demonstrate no PII, but as this was at a very public park, and they chose to dress this way, I'd say they waived any right to privacy. Anyway, the front of the man's dark blue t-shirt read, 'Husband', with 'My wives are probably looking for me,' on the back. The women's shirts were neon yellow with 'Auntie' on the back of one and 'Sister' on the front, and the other two said, 'Have you seen our husband?' on the back, with 'Wife 1' and 'Wife 2' on the fronts.

When the family emerged from the ride, I went up to the man, shook his hand, introduced myself, applauded them for their bravery, and asked them if they'd ever heard of Biblical Families. Nope, but they said they would look us up.

:cool:

Very cool.

The wives photo looks like he might have three.

That's 'Auntie;' she's either his sister or the sister of one of the wives.
 
Why The Kazakhstan Crisis Is A Much Bigger Deal Than Western Media Is Letting On

Geopolitical commentator Clint Ehrlich has reported while on the ground in Moscow that "the situation in Kazakhstan is a much bigger deal than Western media is letting on." He further argues that the mayhem unleashed this past week and ongoing violent destabilization significantly increases the risk of NATO-Russia conflict.

He asks the key question: what really is happening in Kazakhstan? After all, he writes "In America, the situation in Kazakhstan is a small news item" but it remains that "in Moscow, it is currently receiving 24/7 news coverage, like it's an apocalyptic threat to Russia's security. I've had the TV on here while writing this thread, and Kazakhstan has been on the entire time." Below is Ehrlich's mega-thread from Twitter exploring the crisis and connecting the dots in terms of why this is a bigger deal than many believe...

Mass protests and anti-government violence have left dozens dead. Russia is deploying 3,000 paratroopers after Kazakh security forces were overrun. The largest city, Almaty, looks like a warzone. To appreciate why Russia is willing to deploy troops to Kazakhstan, it's critical to understand the depth of Russia's vital national interests inside the country. This isn't just any former Soviet republic. It's almost as important to Russia as Belarus or Ukraine.

First, Russia and Kazakhstan have the largest continuous land border on planet earth. If Kazakhstan destabilizes, a significant fraction of the country's 19 million residents could become refugees streaming across the border. Russia is not willing to let [remainder at: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/why-kazakhstan-crisis-much-bigger-deal-western-media-letting]
 
HOW THE GEOPOLITICS OF 2021 WILL SHAPE THE YEAR AHEAD FOR BITCOIN
Developments around the global regulation, hash rate and adoption of Bitcoin made for a unique year in 2021. So how will 2022 play out?
This past year was certainly a unique one for bitcoin. We saw the first bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) get approved in the United States, the largest-ever Bitcoin conference in Miami, the much anticipated Taproot upgrade, all-time highs nearing $70,000, oh, and a nation state made bitcoin legal tender. Despite all this exciting news, some things never change — the FUD was as prevalent as ever. Bitcoin saw a variety of bans throughout 2021 and, to no one’s surprise, China stole the show in this regard.

Below is a list of bitcoin bans in 2021 alone:
With 2021 nearly in the rearview mirror, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what geopolitical bitcoin moves will occur throughout 2022. Below, I offer up a few questions to think about as we approach the new year:

  • On a global scale, will we see bitcoin regulation turn friendly or grow increasingly hostile?
  • Will hash rate continue to accumulate in the U.S. (possibly eclipsing a 50% share) or will we see a greater distribution moving forward?
  • Will another country adopt bitcoin as legal tender? And if so, which one? There couldn’t be multiple throughout 2022, could there?
These questions fall into three categories: hash rate, regulation and adoption. I’ve addressed each below in more detail.
