Putin will escalate in Ukraine until he gets what he wants — whatever that is.
He will follow his ruthless destruction in his wars in Syria, Chechnya, and Georgia. He is now shelling civilian targets in Ukraine.
What worries me is that he might use his cyberwar skills on us, shutting off our credit cards, our electricity, our Internet, our telephones, our deliveries of our daily needs.
Hence we should be prepared. Here’s list of what you should have at home:
+ Paper copies of your online bank and brokerage accounts. Just in case they don’t believe you.
+ Cash money. If your credit cards are shut down, you’ll need cash.
+ Propane. Better to have a full tank. Ditto for your cars.
+ Flashlights, and batteries.
+ Food –canned and energy bars, etc.
+ Medicine. Whatever you need.
+ Emergency generator — You can buy a small one at Tractor Supply for under $1,000. Plus gas to run it. Keep your fridge and boiler running.
+ 5 Person Emergency Kit / Survival Bag (72 Hours) Stealth Angel Survival. Click here.
+ Water and filters to clean water.
+Wood for the stove and fireplace
+ Personal hygiene stuff — soap, paper towels, toilet paper, etc.
+ Hand-cranked radio.
+ Blankets, pillows and sleeping bags.
+ Layers of warm clothing, raincoats, gloves, etc.
+ Hardware . Screwdrivers, pliers, duct tape, pocket knife, etc.
+ First aid kit.
+ Extra pairs of glasses.
There are a million ideas and kits out there. Try Google or Amazon.
Of note
When the U.S. offered to fly him out of Ukraine, he replied, “I don’t need a ride. I need ammunition.”

It’s hard to think funny with what Putin is doing to Ukraine. But I did find this gem:
