Thoughts on the Chaos in Russia
The chaos in Russia may be great news in the long run, but short term it ups the threat of a desperate Putin nuclear attack in the Ukraine that could escalate, and/or a clandestine attack against the U.S./Europe like releasing a deadly virus or taking down our vulnerable electric grid. You may not be a fan of CNN, but their analysis just posted is correct: “Prigozhin may not win, and the foundations of the Kremlin’s control may not collapse. But a weakened Putin may do irrational things to prove his strength. He may prove unable to accept the logic of […]

Fortitude Ranch Threat Condition: Elevated, risks of war, bio attack are up Top Artificial Intelligence Experts warn it is a Threat to Mankind that we probably cannot stop Usually collapse threats don’t get a lot of headlines, but the host of leading Artificial Intelligence (AI) experts saying that this technology could destroy mankind has indeed gotten publicity. Most of the news coverage would lead you to believe it’s a future, not a present threat. That’s because there is a different way AI can be threatening that is not well covered in the media. The present risk is Russia or China […]

Editor’s note; we normally start with a threat update, but this time a short editor’s note. We have two items submitted by members for this issue. First a report on a great new documentary on our very fragile, vulnerable electrical system. Second, one of our members wrote a very realistic and entertaining story imagining what it would be like riding out a collapse at Fortitude Ranch. It’s a very educational, worth reading, surprisingly moving good essay. Probability of a Nuclear Exchange with China over Taiwan continues to rise The warnings and rising indications of war with China over Taiwan are […]

A senior Iranian official just announced that Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear weapon, and has already enriched uranium far beyond imposed limits, and can readily reach weapons grade levels. This is not really a surprise to people who have been watching Iran’s development not just of nuclear weapons grade material, but long range ICBMs. With Iran regarding the United States and “the Great Satin,” run by a fanatical, religious government this is a direct threat. Israel may well launch preemptive attacks on Iran, an ally of Russia, which could lead to a rapidly escalating conflict that […]

Arguably, creating fire is one of the most, if not the most, important skills you can have in a survival situation. When you create fire you create warmth, light, the ability to cook your food, boil water, protect yourself and provide comfort. The very act of being able to create fire can be a matter of life and death. The scene in the movie Castaway where Tom Hanks finally creates fire and he dances around on the beach praising himself demonstrates that he knows at that point he will survive. Fire nuggets will allow you to have that same great […]

We may well be on the path to World War Three, with “Achilles’ heel” vulnerabilities that invite nuclear attack While it is not getting much mainstream media attention, Russia clearly has China’s support for the invasion of Ukraine, and Iran and North Korea are also part of this dangerous alliance. The Ukraine invasion and Russia’s current high state of nuclear alert raises the risk of nuclear war, but it is China invading Taiwan that possess a much greater risk of nuclear attacks on the U.S. mainland. China has been absolutely clear that they regard Taiwan as their territory and they […]

A Review of Threats: China remains a far more dangerous threat of near-term nuclear war than a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Civil unrest and misuse of new technologies also pose grave risks of a collapse. Our newsletters usually begin with a report on a specific threat that could lead to a “collapse”—a situation where the economy is not functioning and there is wide spread loss of law and order. There are so many items to report on now that we’re doing a brief update on a variety of threats that we are watching. While news today is focused on the […]

You probably didn’t see this in mainstream media, but we monitor sources like Defense One news that cover threats that our elected government officials ignore since they lack vote buying potential. The Wall Street Journal also confirmed this new much larger ICBM likely has capability to reach the U.S. mainland. Jeffrey Lewis, a scholar at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies believes that the missile is intended to carry multiple warheads, increasing the likelihood of getting through U.S. missile defenses. While it may not be accurate it would not need to be to launch a devastating Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) […]
