Both the US and Russia are testing nationwide emergency alert emergency public warning systems today.

Glenn Beck asked: “That’s JUST a coincidence though, right? Nothing to worry about, right???” 

FEMA is conducting a nationwide emergency alert system test on Wednesday. Russia is also conducting emergency tests this week to prepare for nuclear blasts. That’s JUST a coincidence though, right? Nothing to worry about, right???

Russia tested its system early Wednesday, “blaring out sirens and interrupting some television and radio broadcasts to warn the population to stay calm,” according to Reuters.

“The readiness of warning systems is being checked, please remain calm,” a Russian male voice was heard on television and radio. 

“When you hear the sound of a siren, you need to remain calm and not panic, turn on the TV – any publicly accessible channel or radio – and listen to the information message,” the Ministry of Emergency Situations said in a statement.

These emergency public warning systems aim to alert the public about natural disasters to nuclear bomb attacks. 

What piques our interest is why the US and Russia are conducting tests on the same day amid fears both countries are marching toward World War III.
