KYIV, Ukraine — The price of U.S. security guarantees to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine became explicit this week: Kyiv must give up all of Donbas — about 10% of its territory, or about 15% of its prewar GDP.The United States has asked Ukraine to withdraw from all of the eastern region — including areas it has held during more than 14 years of Russian attacks — before it will finalize the long-term protections it has been discussing with Kyiv for months, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, describing the negotiation in comments to Reuters.The demand followed bilateral talks in…

8 Potassium iodide is discussed in prepper circles like it’s some kind of all-purpose anti-radiation pill. It isn’t. But that doesn’t mean it’s useless! There is a reason it’s distributed to people living around nuclear reactors. There is a reason why it was distributed to civilians living around Chernobyl at the time of the reactor meltdown. Potassium iodide, also known as KI, does offer some protection, but make sure to understand what it actually does and when to take it. If you stock potassium iodide, thinking it will broadly protect you from nuclear fallout, you are misunderstanding its use. KI…
The Pentagon is preparing what its called a “final blow” should diplomatic talks with Iranian officials fail. The Department of War, headed by Pete Hegseth, has said it is developing a plan that will likely include a massive bombing campaign and military ground forces. In interviews with Axios, ruling class officials and sources familiar with the internal discussions describe four major “final blow” options Trump could choose from: Invading or blockading Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub. Invading Larak, an island that helps Iran solidify its control of the Strait of Hormuz. The strategic outpost hosts Iranian bunkers, attack craft…

With Virginia gun owners under fire like never before and more than two dozen anti-gun measures recently passed by the legislature and forwarded to Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger for her consideration, a major gun-rights organization is speaking out against another proposal that would be devastating to gun owners. In a recent state alert to members in Virginia, Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently blew the whistle on a congressional redistricting scheme that could make things in the legislature even worse than they already are for those who support the Second Amendment. Virginia voters are being asked to approve a constitutional…

Most people watch movies to be entertained. Preppers watch them differently. They watch for skills, for tactics, for systems of living that worked for thousands of years without a grocery store, a pharmacy, or a power grid. Native American cinema, at its best, documents something that no survival manual quite captures: what it actually looked like to live in complete self-sufficiency with the land. The tracking, the hunting, the plant knowledge, the shelter construction, the community organization, the situational awareness that kept entire nations alive through winters and droughts and conflict for millennia. The films on this list are not…
