well the war in iran seems inevitable and trump will probably strike after the markets close on friday. so what can i do to best prepare me and family for this? i already have around two weeks of canned food stocked up but besides that i have no other emergency supplies. if there are any protocols or useful handbooks i would appreciate it if you shared them. if you have experience in this type of situation i would be glad to hear from you as well.

that's it i suppose. wish you all the very best.

EDIT: removed the terrible joke because it's sort of a serious post. also thanks for all the answers in advance sorry if i can't reply to all of them
