MISLEADING

War has not started.

This video takes basic emergency preparedness guidelines and a routine government strategy document, then sensationalizes them to farm engagement. The Australian headline is based on standard disaster prep advice from agencies like the Red Cross, which recommend keeping a few days of food and water for bushfires, floods, or power outages. Australian officials never claimed a war was starting. The Canadian screenshot is about an updated national security policy framework. Mentioning worst-case scenarios in long-term defense planning is standard government language, not a sign that conflict has broken out.
