Coping mechanism. People would rather believe the worst could never happen than even taking a passive approach to some sort of preparation.
I’m not saying it’s a sure thing or even a likely thing. I have to believe cooler heads would prevail. But anyone who is shrugging their shoulders as the US does a little sabre rattling in their direction is being wilfully idiotic.
Better to chat with your loved ones and have a plan you’ll never need than never bother to take the idea seriously in the first place. I get most Canadians alive today have no point of reference for this kind of thing, but when a foreign nations and the most powerful military in the world starts making threats in your direction, idle or not, maybe get your head out of your ass and pay attention.
