<p>I have felt a strong need as of late to stay abreast of all developments regarding Russia and China.</p>
<p>I would urge all my readers to not be distracted by all the Political theater and &#8220;filler&#8221; the state run media seems intent on running on continuous loop as of late. It is mindless garbage fit for the &#8220;Useful Idiots&#8221;, which I dare say my readers <strong>ARE NOT!!</strong></p>
<p>The Civilian Operator must always remember that the<strong> KEY</strong> to both keeping themselves and their family safe and being able to adequately <strong>PREPARE</strong> for any serious threat is <strong>GOOD INTELLIGENCE.</strong></p>
<p>I would normally re-post these articles separately, but because of their length, I thought it more pertinent to just link them.</p>
