I said that about New Zealand (and probably countries outside of NATO, Russia and China in general). Canada may well have law and order intact as well, if we don’t get hit or only by a few warheads. I think commercial food availability might be restored before a decade, especially since we have more agricultural production capacity than we need, but it’s just to be on the safer side, especially since stockpiling non-perishable food really doesn’t cost much. Being so close to the US and sharing a massive border, we may be more destabilized than other non-attacked countries due to things like refugee flood etc.
Bottom line is: if you’re in the US, you need all those things I listed prepared in advance for sure. If you’re in some non-targeted country you probably don’t, but it may still be nice to have them just as a hedge in case of unexpected supply disruptions or upheaval.
