The war in Ukraine fosters many an opinion, individuals who rally for the world consensus against invasion of sovereign states, those who seek to disrupt global order and those who seek to economically gain from continued conflict. The Ukrainian question is one where everyone wants to be right, to be on the winning side, the righteous, the benevolent.
The challenge with Ukraine is that everyone is right, if you look through the perspective of the waring parties, you understand why all sides fight: the Russians, Ukrainians, NATO, North Korea and the numerous unnamed belligerents who comprise the estimated dozens of nations with soldiers in the field. With an economic lens, you most certainly understand the value of a destroyed Ukraine to the reconstruction companies that made an almost unmeasurable fortune in the war on terror, or to the munitions companies whose latest technologies are employed on a modern real life proving ground. The Ukraine war is fuelling the goals and dreams of a vast swath of political and economic interests, which makes it incredibly hard to stop. Too many powerful interests have stakes in the continuation of this conflict to see it coming to a close, without a dramatic event.
In general, we understand preparedness to be the totality of physical and cognitive efforts to ready oneself, household, community, nation - etc., to navigate exogenous shock with the least disruption possible. These shocks are categorized into five main arenas, though in some cases the catalyst will be a combination of these origins: natural, economic, political, cultural and familial. To understand the implications of the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine on our lives, especially far removed from the conflict zone, we consider the five origins and frame a series of questions related to the effects on how we live our lives.
