Sweden tells citizens to prepare for WAR

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
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.

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!

At other times this would be only of Swedish interest. That it is in the news of GB exactly now seems to me a little fear mongering.

But having enough food, water and medcine at home is always reasonable, since there could be blackouts or floods even for those people who don't live in an area where hurricanes do occur.
 
Yeah I have heard this 'sky is falling' for many many years. Both in the news and even behind the scenes. Just a few years ago a Portugese NATO intelligence officer that we knew all of a suddenly sent his wife and kids back to Portugal from the NATO contingent in Poland. He said he has heard chatter and credible intel that the Ukraine war was going to spread to Poland and beyond.

Well here we are now and once again the sky is falling. I don't believe anyone will do anything stupid as it would be the end of the world as we know it. If 1 nuke goes, 5000 go. Standard policy in all nuclear armed countries.

As for these ballistic missles, 2 questions....who the heck is the US to authorize anything? Why is no one asking that question. And, I guarantee Ukraine will never fire one, as the response would be catastrophic.
I don't think Ukraine has nuclear missiles so, yup, they won’t fire one.

“Who is the USA to authorize anything”-😂 seriously you don’t know the answer @Tazx. We the USA would be the owners of the long range missiles which Ukraine has, and the maker of the rules which Ukraine agreed to. Cause, you know, they‘d like more missiles, anmo, and money. They’d also like our training boots on the ground to show them how to do stuff. Ukraine follows our rules or we gather up our toys and leave.

As to the comment “I don’t believe anyone will do anything stupid”. 😂😂😂😂😂. Ok, let me change the undies and stop laughing. Have you, by chance, paid attention to the news regarding the selection process that is currently happening in the USA, listened to the on-going blah, blah, blah, or understood anything about the people of the USA being more interested in the price of eggs and less interested in the price of the war in Ukraine? Cause we don't live in Europe.

The United States of Stupid People has a certain ring to it. IMO.
 
I can't decide if I should go into town as planned or hide myself in the celler to wait for the 'all clear'! 😱 Naw, I'd better stock up on Resses and Cadbury before the shops are depleted!
May consider picking up some extra TP, too... I hear it can become a hot commodity item when times they are a-changin'. :sneaky:
