New Cold War?

President Trump recently pulled the United States out of a nuclear arms limitation treaty with Russia. Putin had been accused of violating the treaty, so why would the United States stay in the treaty?

All of that is besides the point. What bothers me is we may be facing a new arms race and another Cold War. Then again, was the first Cold War really over?

I know what the history books say, and that is the Cold War was over in the 1990s.

If we are heading towards another Cold War there are a couple of things I suggest we look for:

Doe Run lead smelting plant, or any lead smelting plant. Thanks to the Obama administration we as a nation can no longer take lead ore and smelt it to a usable product. We can take lead and recycle it, but we do not have the ability to take raw lead ore and turn that ore into a usable product.

If the nation needs to gear up for another Cold War, then we need the ability to produce our of lead. This means we should keep an ear to the ground for a lead refinery to open.

Next thing we may want to look for is the military making new orders of small arms ammunition. This means 9mm, 45acp, 223, 7.62 nato... etc. When the government places an order, their order will push civilian production out of the way. The end result is ammo shortages, primer shortages, powder shortages, and price hikes.

I remember back in the 1990s there were long term primer and powder shortages.

My son and I planted:

• 14 rows of corn
• 4 rows of potatoes
• 2 rows of onions

Towards the end of March I will be planting beans, peas, peppers, squash...etc.

To prep for the next Cold War, I am planting a large garden and plan on putting more food up.

Then there are the 14 hens I have in the small chicken house.

Thoughts, suggestions?
