No time is a bad time to be prepping for an apocalypse, since the globalists and the Chinese communists are always plotting and planning something insidious for world domination. Today is no exception. China and Iran are working together. USA and Israel are working together. Meanwhile, terrorists bomb Israel with rockets they shoot from schools, hospitals and refugee areas, so Israel fires back with heat-seeking missiles that end up killing innocents, and then USA's fake news is all over it. Rinse and repeat.

Prepping for potential shortages: Lessons from WWII and modern-day concerns

As geopolitical tensions rise and supply chain disruptions persist, many Americans are revisiting lessons from World War II-era rationing to prepare for potential shortages. From food and medicine to ammunition and communication tools, individuals are stockpiling essentials in anticipation of possible crises. With the Defense Production Act already prioritizing military needs over civilian supplies, experts warn that everyday goods could become scarce if conflict escalates. While modern warfare introduces digital vulnerabilities, historical patterns suggest that food, fuel, and critical materials may once again be in short supply.

During World War II, the U.S. government rationed food, rubber, metal, and other essentials to support military efforts. Civilians adapted by growing victory gardens, repurposing materials, and conserving resources. Today, similar concerns loom — though with new complexities.

"A friend of mine has been researching shortages from WWII, and that's a great place to start," said one preparedness advocate. "In America, we faced the rationing of things such as food, shoes, metal, paper, and rubber. The priority was given to the soldiers, and whatever was left over was divvied up by civilians."

While modern conflicts may involve cyber warfare and digital infrastructure disruptions, core necessities remain unchanged. "Soldiers will still need food, shoes, rubber things like tires, and metal for manufacturing vehicles and weapons," the source noted.

Experts recommend diversifying food storage methods, from bulk canned goods to freeze-dried options. "Many people will be promoting extremely expensive purchases of long-term food in buckets," said one prepper. "While that is certainly one way to do it, it's not the tastiest, nor is it the most nutritious, nor is it affordable." Instead, budget-conscious strategies include shopping sales, preserving garden harvests, and investing in portable, long-term supplies as a last resort.
