Are We Moving Toward World War Three? This is a very short response to several variations of the question:
Should we be worried about another World War?
I don’t have a crystal ball, but I don’t think WW3 would look anything like what we’ve seen in the past. Some would argue that we’re already in it.
Personally, I think it’s far more likely that we will have to deal with more of the same, i.e., cyber attacks, terrorist plots, privacy invasion, and political & media manipulation.
I try to stay informed of national and world events, but not to the point of trying to understand them. I think it’s unhealthy to get too wrapped up in the games being played nationally or internationally. We aren’t allowed to see the big picture. We only know what we are shown, and both the media and the governments (yes, plural) have proven they cannot be believed or trusted.
What’s A Prepper To Do If We Are Moving Toward World War Three?
This one is easy. Until war becomes obvious, I advise everyone to keep prepping, learning, and enjoying life. Don’t let the world stage steal your joy.
Too much news, either left or right—traditional or alternative—is just another form of indoctrination. All of it comes with an agenda, and none is the whole truth. As we all know by now, much of it is blatant lies.
Soon To Be Famous Quote By Brian D. Hawkins
This advice might seem counterintuitive to what we usually recommend for preppers, but it isn’t. Without the facts and information to make an informative decision about moving forward, we’d just be making panicked mistakes—wasting time, money, resources, and, more importantly, our sanity.
When it comes to world government manipulation, we can’t get the facts in the current landscape, where the media and politicians attack all opposing views and manipulate the public to side with their claims. All the while, the actual moves are made outside the knowledge of those charged with keeping us informed.
I am not suggesting we ignore the possibility that we are moving toward World War Three or that we may in the future. Prepping as usual and moving our prepping toward a more advanced level can help us survive many of the SHTF events we think about.
Others, like a nuclear warhead landing in our driveway, a super volcano erupting below our feet, or a comet crashing into our chest, prepping will likely not help.
Ninty percent of the things people worry about never manifest. Worrying about things outside of our control with no solutions to be had is a pointless burden on our mental health.
We prep for survivable events. We pray for the rest. None of it should keep us from enjoying the life we have.

Want Some Interesting Homework?
I’m listening to an Audible book, ‘Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (3rd Edition)[Aff]‘ by John Perkins. I read the original version years ago, and I’m getting more out of this version, probably because I’m older. John Perkins leans to the left, but that only comes out a few times and in a mild manner. It shows and clarifies behind-the-scenes actions taken against sovereign countries between large corporations and our clandestine services.
Wrapping Up: Are We Moving Toward World War Three?
While many sites and YouTubers crank out content geared toward keeping your fear level up to sell products, I want to keep Nest Step Survival as a source of truth and common sense. It’s not a profitable approach, but it’s the only one I can live with.
Sometimes, I feel like I’m here to talk people away from the ledge while showing that prepping can be a meaningful part of our lives, not a replacement for it.
