Oh, for Christ's sakes! What a load of rubbish! What with Sweden's lips 2 inches from Washington's sphincter, clandestinely aiding the CIA [criminally breaking Swedish law!], and joining NATO, this business is not unexpected but it is a load of rubbish all the same ....... or perhaps for that very reason.Sweden is sending out five million pamphlets to residents urging them to prepare for the possibility of war, with instructions on how to stockpile food and even seek shelter during a nuclear attack, as fears grow of a conflict between Russia and NATO.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Stockholm has repeatedly urged Swedes to prepare both mentally and logistically for a possible conflict, citing the worsening security situation in its vicinity.
It comes as tensions between Moscow and the West have escalated to new heights after Joe Biden gave Kyiv the green light to blast targets deep inside Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles, which Donald Trump's son has criticised as making sure 'they get WWIII going before my father has a chance to create peace
The booklet 'If Crisis or War Comes', sent out by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), contains information about how to prepare for emergencies such as war, natural disasters, cyber attacks and terrorism.
'An insecure world requires preparedness. The military threat to Sweden has increased and we must prepare for the worst - an armed attack,' its new introduction states.
In one of the more worrying excerpts, which harks back to advice given by governments during the darkest days of the Cold War, it informs people of the risk of nuclear weapons.
'The global security situation increases the risks that nuclear weapons could be used. In the event of an attack with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons, take cover in the same way as in an air attack,' the pamphlet instructs readers.
Civil Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin said that as the global context had changed, advice to Swedish households had to be reviewed to reflect the reality of the situation
Sweden tells citizens to prepare for WAR: Pamphlets sent to millions
1). I haven't received this so-called pamphlet and with a population of 10 million it ought to be coming any minute now or isn’t coming at all. I haven’t seen or heard of this pamphlet so where’s the source of this hysteria? I’m in town every day and so far ….. nothing …. but I’ll be sure to ask around today. I’ll let you know what “the word” is when I return home to my PC.
2). Sweden will not exceed 5 losses before it capitulates. You can quote me on that.
By the way, that report in the OP is (as far as I can tell) from January. Don’t you think I’d have got that “pamphlet” by now? At least I’d have heard something about it. Rubbish! Pure rubbish!
