And the risk assessment must also include INTERNAL threats, EG identifying other people who are hostile to your race, religion, culture or politics.
Eg I would never willingly risk my family by entering into cooperation with anyone of strong religous persuasion or strong socialist tendancies, and I'm equally sure those folks would not want to share a retreat with me.
Ref your last comment "instead those threads should have been about how we should prepare ourselves against problems caused by the influx of so many people"
But what if that large influx was of people of a similar culture, religion and viewpoint as yourself and moving to an area of low population density and who integrate into the community ( EG as so many Poles and Latvians have done up here). In comparison with waves of people of a faith and culture hostile to your own and moving into areas of high unemployments and not integrating at all, who follow up with demands for special considerations and who erode rights and liberties long fought for and won by your people over many years.
One has to identify threats and assets equally to make sure your preps are thorough and complete.
I do see your argument, and its a good one,.. I can certainly discus and debate the background to any group of people, with anyone, providing I know something to discus,.. but I am not well versed in the ways of other religions
I dont know a lot about how the sun works, or how a CME is formed,.. but I am doing my best to prepare as best I can for one,... In the same way as I dont need to know about a groups religious beliefs in order to protect agains what they might do
We have had a few Eastern Europeans, [ Poles ] move into this area, but not in any great number, but even if it was great numbers of people,.. its still the same,... you dont necessarily need to know the reason why something is happening, just how best to deal with it
Its just one of those things where by you are either interested in the `whys` and `what fors`of something or you are not,..I will always be curious as to why something is happening,.. but I dont need to understand it
