Your post made me laugh but then honest concern.
It has already been said in other ways but their decision making is somewhat questionable.
I have elderly parents too who watch too much news. Thankfully, they don't make trades based on such things.
They are not being logical. Do they want your help?
In what sequence of world events will stability be assured and they can go back to 60/40? Peace in the Middle East and a Russia (and NK and Iran and....) give up nuclear weapons? I mean it is an honest question. Ukraine and Isreal? Outside of the nuclear threat, these are rounding errors. US debt? Really?
So they will get back into equities when an impossible settings of events happens. That is not just not Bogleheads mantra, it is illogical.
