From the post:

>US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within the next few weeks, according to three people familiar with recent intelligence assessments. It would be a provocative move considering Beijing said it helped broker the fragile ceasefire agreement that paused the war between Iran and the US earlier this week. President Donald Trump is also set to visit China early next month for talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The intelligence also underscores how Iran may be using the ceasefire as an opportunity to replenish certain weapons systems with the help of key foreign partners. Two of the sources told CNN there are indications that Beijing is working to route the shipments through third countries to mask their true origin. The systems Beijing is preparing to transfer are shoulder-fired anti-air missile systems known as MANPADs, the sources said, which posed an asymmetric threat to low-flying US military aircraft throughout the course of the five-week war and could again if the ceasefire falls apart.

I feel like we are in the early stages of WWIII. I am too old to serve and I already did eight years as a US Marine. That being said, I feel that even in the semi-remote rural area where I live, I will not be safe from what is coming. I have food, arms and plenty of ammo and first aid gear but I'm not dumb enough to think that it is enough to keep me safe. I live uncomfortably close to the US Mexican border and I have no doubt that Mexico, and its Jewish president, is not our friend. I feel like if I can take out at least two of "them,"whoever that may turn out to be, before they get me, that I have achieved VICTORY...
