I read your post in full syympathy. Growing up, elementary school in the 60’s, my school never had those nuke drills. We were openly told that it was pointless to have drills as we were near the largest military post in the free world, there was no way we would survive a nuclear attack. It freaked me out as an elementary school kid.
Now, we had tornado drills and fire drills, but it’s beyond my comprehension as a mom and granny, why tbey told us that starting in 1st grade. Had to be commie propaganda from the NEA. My husband is from another state where they did have those nuke drills. He’s shocked that we didn’t have them and why. The information that we’d be wiped out is all true. I just didn’t need to know that when I went to school in 1963.
Yeah, I share your concern from these news reports. I’m praying and campaigning for President Trump. I don’t fear death, but I fear for the future of these United States. We have 21 grandchildren whom I want to live in liberty.
“What can I do amidst all this talk of possible war?”
get out of your mind and into God’s word and HE will tell you what to do.
I’ll start you off:
#1 Fear not (numerous verses) pray (talk with God) often.
#2 He has overcome the world (John 16:33)
#3 Abide in HIM and you have peace in the midst of storms, trials etc - more than one verse - look them up :)
#4 speak words of God not thoughts in your head! the mind is a place satan loves to get a foothold.
#5 plenty more things God can easily tell you personally if you give Him a chance instead of listening to the track of your own thoughts in your head.
Ain’t a “no expiration” stamp on any of us.
Say a prayer and forget about it.
Donate to and vote for Trump.
Worrying HAS NEVER helped a problem, at least in my case.
Vlad is smarter than we think. He’s not going to jump the gun on anything right now.
We should:
1) Thank Hellary for showing the world Trump doesn’t take guff off anyone. He stands up for himself and will stand up for America.
2) Get out the vote for Trump.
I grew up in Atlanta and realized that it would be a target for numerous reasons. When I moved away from home I lived in other major cities that would also be targets though not just because of the major population centers also as military or industrial targets. I've lived in smaller cities like Tucson but my home was with line of site of Davis Monthan AFB. Now I live in "Rocket City" (Huntsville, AL), so a definite big target is painted on us.
So like you I have lived my life within range of first strike targets and like you I know that the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) does not exist. So in silent resignation I accept the fact that me and my wife would be gone very early in any nuclear exchange. I also accept that almost all of our children and grandchildren would be as well.
Some people may find solace in their faith, I do not. For me I do not expect anything can be done. So the only thing we can do is to press on through our fears and worries. I try every day to love my family, do the best possible work for my job, be king to my fellow man and have peace that whatever happens will be over quickly.
It would be easy to give up, but my goal is to make every day better or as good as the last. I have long given up on watching the news and I am very selective of what I read on-line. You might find this helpful. It sure has helped me.

It’s wag the dog time.
Obama and his band of leftist a-holes are determined to get Heinous and if it takes a war, then so be it.
But a war can get Trump boosted.
So it’s not to rally Americans around the President. It’s to distract from the stealing of the election.
If the election is stolen, everything about the stealing will take a backseat to the war.
Hopefully, our missile defense system will work as it should.
obama’s a dangerous MoFo. Now that he’s made the public announcement about a cyber strike, what happens if Russia’s internet suddenly goes down due to whatever reason? Putin’s going to think it was us.
Sure. I'm within 10 miles of two Naval bases, and 5 miles from another. If it comes to nuke conflict, those in the military will probably fare better than we civilians. As to what can be done about it, electing Trump might be a start; that is, if there's time.
I grew up under the same constant fear, bro. I’m more than 5 miles from any viable target, but that won’t matter if the fallout blows my way.
I don’t think the Russians want a large-scale exchange any more than we do. They know our retaliatory capacity probably better than we do and the levels of destruction would be simply intolerable, to everybody on Earth.
But I can’t completely rule out tactical nukes, especially in the Middle East. The Russians are not playing around in Syria and we ignore their warnings at our peril. Plus we are backing the wrong people in Syria, which makes us the bad guys. Luckily, the Russians are sane, unlike the muzzies.
The question then becomes, would Obummer start a shooting war to hold onto power and cancel the election? I fear he would. We might have to rely on some patriot with a cooler head and a ready sidearm to stop him, and that is a longshot bet on a good day.
But I feel that the American Sunrise is coming. Soon.
End time prophecy yet to be fulfilled. Things are lining up. PRAY for AMERICA.

Lots of posturing going on.
And it’s over Syria.
I still haven’t figured out what our urgent national interest is in Syria.
I just don’t see a strike by Russia on the US.
A tactical nuke in Syria is possible.
We all have to give up the mortal coil of flesh and blood at some time. It would be nice to go to sleep one night, body drops off, and the real us - the soul - meets God.
But whatever way it will be for each of us, it is His ultimate decision, not ours, unless we rebel badly.
My only solace is knowing that God is my only shelter, and nothing and no one can help me, ultimately, including my own strength or wits.
We could each suffer at any moment some accident or health attack of some kind. There is a saying “Die before dying” - meaning die to our own will (not in line with God’s), our own plans, being the lord of our own life. Give it all to God, on a regular basis. Then, everything is on HIS account, He has power of attorney, He is my boss. Then by working and living under the umbrella of His protection, life looks different.
And I will add, I have been all my life, a person with a lot of fear. Fear of nukes in the early 60s when I was very young, sort of colored my whole life, or gave a life-long uncertainty a very good start.
This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
What to do? I know what the leftists would do. Launch a “not in our name” campaign and some riots. Maybe overrun DC and demand the Republican president vacate the White House.
We will just sit here and fret.
You are right to be afraid.
If Trump wins, will Zero pull down the temple?

However you are correct hoagy52 that this Obama administration does not perceive the true threat or nature of what is coming or who it is coming from,
These Samantha Power, John Kerry, John McCain liberals don’t believe a Nuclear War is a real possibility about to manifest, its not a real threat to them or that it could appear on their very doorstep. If it occurred (accidentally) at all it would be remote and very far away from them,
Its something distant in their political machinations to solve it politically, where all that is needed is another UN Mandate, agreement, treaty or international police action.
Lately I’ve been reminded everyday abut Belshazzar and his party of 1000 where the handwriting on the wall appeared telling him that thier 70 years was over.
I used to think Obama was just like Belshazzar having a party, I now think its also the entire overweight, slumbering, drugged up, tatted up, USA sitting on their couch with EBT cards and 60’ inch HDTVs watching the most godless vile images to ever spew out on the airwaves for entertainment, its not real to them either,
There is nothing you can do. I am sincerely hoping that Putin is the adult in this mess. Cause we know Jugears isn’t. Going to war over Syria is the dumbest thing I have heard of in my long life.
The Russians are doing to us what we’ve been doing around the world for generations.

“Does anyone else experience this kind of fear?”
Yes, and more so every day.
I don’t know if Russia is interfering our election, but suspect it it just more lies from the establishment (GOP, DNC, MSM, etc.) because despite their manufactured polling numbers, I believe they know is actually leading at the moment and they will do anything to hold onto the status quo even if it means going to war with Russia.
So, again, yeah I’m afraid if what the future holds for us.
