Like I say, Mrs Smits is getting ready to convert flower beds to Victory Gardens

I don't expect it to be necessary, but whatever, it gives her something to do

She's going batty, meanwhile this is as much fun as I've had in a coons age

It's a lovely fucking war, Bravo Six

You won't be eating much fresh veg from the garden for months but stuff like spinach, rocket and other salad leaves will grow in a matter of weeks.
If the borders across Europe stay locked down for transport for any length of time it will be the stuff they grow in Dutch greenhouses and down in Spain and Italy like tomatoes, zucchini and bell peppers that we will run short of. I can't really see that happening though because they need to sell it as much as we need to buy it and food will be a priority if the Coronapocalypse lasts for a long time.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Holy shit, airspace control

Two CF-18's just flew over at about 30k and they looked like they had missiles on them, I could see the white

What's that all about? Where's the external military threat?

I can live without vegetables as necessary, I got enough frozen meat to last for months

I don't expect it to come to that tho, even in extremis, there's the Amish just down the road

They are fully stocked and they are always looking to make money

That would be NORAD going into Air Policing mode, to ensure that they control the airspace

That would be more for intercepts of unauthorized flights, not shoot to kill, just forced to land

The military is kicking into high gear tho, I texted my buddy in battalion and literally everybody is mobilizing

This is the highest alert since the Cuban Missile Crisis, no doubt

All over the world the military forces are ramping up for war

I bet Cheyenne Mountain is at DEFCON 3 right now, same as on 9-11

This is another reason to be jacked, muthahfuckahs

Everybody is vulnerable, the nuclear hegemons are reeling with this virus

Make no mistake, the geostrategic Balance of Terror is in play right now

Nobody would be taking any chances in this storm

Doesn't matter if the Chinese had this shit in their lab or not

This is a Biological Warfare Military Emergency by default

Throw in a total economic collapse, and the fur could actually start to fly

When there's a pandemic, the closet SIFCLF's come out of hiding, even if they are doing it indoors and/or screeching and virtue signalling about it on social media. That shit is contagious and can snowball on itself.

The more SIFCLFs that are in a panic, the greater chances of misapprehension, miscalculation, or mistake, no doubt.

Simply my strategic military analysis

We're always under the Sword of Damocles, the Silent War never ends

America, Britain & France are in full mobilization mode, the Russians & Chinese can't simply ignore it

I wasn't referring to you personally, just riffing off you to poke fun at the SIFCLFs.
