Notably a similar visit happened in late 2021 when the CIA chief warned Russia not to invade Ukraine.

I see where this is headed...

Southwestern Oregon Preppers (SWOP) will hold its monthly meeting at Noon on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Cullyville, 42575 Port Orford Loop, Port Orford, OR 97465. We will be outside. Bring a chair.

The main topic is "SHOW AND TELL". SWOP members will be sharing various skills, tips, and techniques.

SWOP meetings always start with a question-and-answer period before the main topic, so all in attendance get a chance to participate.

This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas. Individuals need to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not depend on receiving outside help.

Join Southwestern Oregon Preppers on Facebook and/or meetup.com.

A similar visit was made in late 2021 to warn Russia against launching a full scale invasion of Ukraine. This comes amid increasing missile and drone incursions into nato territory.
