The United States has sounded global alarms after revealing that it is preparing a resistance plan in case a world war breaks out. What is happening? What is the government not telling us? Is a new war approaching?
According to official reports, the Pentagon is preparing United States military bases so they can operate for at least 90 days without external support, given the possibility that a new conflict could break out soon, capable of paralyzing electrical grids, administrative chains, or threatening critical infrastructure on U.S. soil.
"We don't want to depend on standard municipal civil infrastructure to manage our national defense. We simply cannot. It is an intolerable risk," announced Sean Parnell, a Pentagon spokesperson, in a statement.
In addition to this plan, the Pentagon is laying the groundwork for civilian factories to produce defense material during a potential crisis, and is also looking to secure alternative supply chains and strategic reserves to ensure weapons, fuel, and other front-line materials in a conflict.

Parnell detailed that this plan responds to the FORTRESS initiative, which seeks to ensure that the Armed Forces can continue operating during a world war even with deficiencies or a total blackout of electricity or communications.
The Pentagon plans to install portable nuclear reactors, as well as batteries and microgrids that allow military bases to function. "Power is now a firearm. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines, and even basic military command structures," Parnell highlighted.
"I realized that much of our conception of national defense was based on the outdated assumption that two oceans would protect us," Parnell pointed out. "President Trump understands that this world no longer exists and has already paved the way for a new approach: the Golden Dome, a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, Greenland, and Panama," he added.
The spokesperson did not speak of a specific war, but rather proposed a scenario in which there is a conflict that must be fought on "multiple fronts": "It is not convenient to make these decisions in the middle of a global conflict on multiple fronts. We must have a plan," he noted.
The United Kingdom and the European Union also have their plans
The revelation of the FORTRESS project came almost at the same time as the warning issued by the United Kingdom to prepare in case of an emergency situation.
A few days ago, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged citizens to prepare in case of possible interruptions to essential services, within a concerning context of weather phenomena, cyberattacks, or other crises, without directly mentioning a war.
Burnham urged people to prepare to face at least 3 days without electricity, water, telecommunications, or internet access. The preparation plan should include a supply of bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights and spare batteries, as well as cash.
"We live in a world in which unexpected events seem to be becoming more frequent. It's about having provisions at home that help you cope with those moments," he explained.
Other European countries are also fine-tuning plans to deal with social, natural, and political crises, such as Germany, France, and Sweden.
