I think it's about time to get ARES Self-Defense going again. Hopefully, no silly new virus strain will hit again, and I can do what I love doing.

It's been quite awhile since I posted here on this page, mainly because I've been away helping people with c-19. I do have a lesson today though, so for what its worth, here it is.
There are basically 4 different types of self-defense, but two of these four have always seem to overlap and cause some confusion; these two types are pre-emptive and preventative self-defense. I would like to use the Russia-Ukraine conflict to make a clearer distinction between the two.
Russia has a fear that Ukraine will join NATO and thus bring NATO directly to the border with Russia, moreover, if Russia decided to attack or do anything against Ukraine after that point, then the entire might of NATO could become involved. Russia elected to use a preventative form of self-defense here, by attacking Ukraine "pre-NATO" membership. If, however, Ukraine did indeed join NATO, and Russia feared aggression and attacked, that would illustrate a pre-emptive self-defense attack. In the first scenario, Ukraine with the help of NATO doesn't exist, thus its a preventative form, in the latter, it does exist and Russia goes first, because NATO does have the means, that is pre-emptive. Regardless, of your position on this from a political lens, I think it's a good tool to use to describe these two forms of self-defense. Have a good day, take your vitamins and be safe.

2 days, 2 calls for heightened responder awareness... 😓

An Orange County firefighter was briefly held at gunpoint, and others were shot at Thursday morning during a welfare check on a senior citizen’s home. No one was injured.
