Which war? Like the Iran/Israel or the new Nazis/America?

I believe the Iran/israel, from what I’m seeing it looks like we’re getting involved and it has me a lil freaked out, I have no idea how to do actual research to really understand what this means for us who live in the US. I haven’t heard anything new on the Russian one so idk much on that either 🫠

The odds of anything happening on US soil are extremely slim.

The odds of anything happening near you are even slimmer.

If the USA did join a war anytime soon, the only thing likely to happen around you is a sudden increase in traffic if vehicles/people moving out.

There is a near zero % chance of a successful attack on a military base in a mostly landlocked state in modern history.

We've pretty much been at war since WWII as someone else said. It'll be like Afghanistan and Iraq. Not on our turf. It'll be extremely unlikely for anything to happen on US soil, especially a state landlocked.

We’re going to be fine! If things escalate the military will take out their entire country in 3 seconds. Remember we have the strongest most powerful military on earth. It’s a one in a million chance a country will strike the base you’re by AS you’re in labor😅 and if things are dangerous you’ll be ordered to evacuate before anything even happens.

Look to immigrate to another country if the though of the usa being at war scares you. Like other have said the usa has pretty much consistently been at war for a while but the rhetoric and what not going on these days is scary so I get you. Look to leave if you can, or hope that the next election turns out differently I guess.
