Sweden is sending out some five million pamphlets to residents urging them to prepare for the possibility of war, with instructions on how to stockpile food and water amid growing fears of a conflict with Russia.
Neighbouring Finland has also launched a new preparedness website while Norwegians recently received booklets instructing them on how to manage on their own for a week in the event of war and other threats.
Both Sweden and Finland dropped decades of military non-alignment to join the US-led military alliance NATO in the wake of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Since the start of the war, Stockholm has repeatedly urged Swedes to prepare both mentally and logistically for the possibility of war, citing the serious security situation in its vicinity.
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, or cyber attacks.
It is an updated version of a pamphlet that Sweden has issued five times since World War II. However, underlining the seriousness of the potential threat, the book is twice the size of previous years.
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,' it instructs readers.

A WEEK?!?!?!?!
Sheesh, you should be ready every winter for at least that in the event of bad weather.
Our ancestors prepped for every winter. They had to as a matter of survival.
We've become a very pampered, spoiled few generations that live either day to day or hand to mouth. Just seeing what happens at the stores when a winter storm hits goes to show how woefully little thought people give to events beyond the next few days.
There are a few US cities that would be no great loss either.
Why are their accounts still active then?????

When a _resident is too feeble to remember significant facts, enough that he can't be criminally charged,
how can anyone believe that he is mentally competent enough to lead us into a potentially World-Wide war (?), much less a nuclear war with "mutually assured destruction" ?
It is the entire Biden administration which should be held accountable, not some tottering old lame duck who will be out the door within 60 days.
Keep your powder dry, and your head on a swivel,
and pray that Putin is more sensible than the Dumbocrats who want "to burn it all down".
There is a reason they got voted out of many offices with their rhetoric and folly.
Until then, prepare your mind, your spiritual values, and your physical body for whatever is to come.
This awareness alert may be for 'real'
It there panic on the streets of Carlisle, Dublin, Dundee, and Humberside?
Philly, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleveland, Saint Louis, San Fran,
My State voted for Trump unlike your seni- Commie State.
Hang the DJ.
NH has the lowest crime rate in the country.
It is typically rated one of the three safest states in the USA and the best place to raise a family.
Anyone can carry a gun. Pretty much anywhere, except a school.
There is no permit required.
It also has some of the highest rated public schools in the country.
Unfortunately, we have had a large influx from deeper Blue states especially in the last five years. Not just from the state to our south.
NH also has the third lowest overall tax burden in the country. Third behind Alaska and TN.
Because Jim is a better man than I.
But it would be interesting to see how many are overseas, and how many are coming out of the Northern Virginia area.
Apparently...just an update. This used to be issued in Sweden every year as an inclusion in the new phonebook updates. Since phonebooks have gone the way of the dinosaur...they update every five years now. A nothing burger to worry people. Although allowing use of the ATACMs is a very poor decision (to put it mildly).
Funny how that feels like an eternity ago...
Yet, here we are again.
I don’t recall being so horribly concerned then as I am today. Maybe that is the blessing of childhood?
Hey Sweden you’ve got this.

We all know that with a full blown nuclear exchange we just need to stay in our shelter for two weeks to flatten the radiation curve. When you come out, life will return to normal just as before. Little to no infrastructure damage, no radiation poisoning, all modern communications and amenities would be restored quickly... The FR Zelensky fanboys, the neocons, the deep state promise all will be better in two weeks.
The sad part is most of these maniacs would believe this...
Biden’s playing with fire - guess his old days of grifting Ukraine made him feel ‘loyal’ even through there’s no honor among thieves... Biden needs to go to the beach and stay our of this deep state crap.
Putin needs to hold off too.
Please will someone take Biden to the Beach or to an ice cream shop to look at the children and lick their feet?
I’m hoping Putin stays his hand until sane people take over the US government.
That’s all dependent on Zelenskyy.......
