Sweden is preparing to issue a public information manual on what to do in the event of war, as debate in the country grows over how to deal with the threat from Russia.
The brochure, due to be sent to 4.7m households, will inform the public how they can take part in “total defence” during a war and secure water, food and heating.
The booklet with the working title If Crisis or War Comes will also give guidance on dealing with threats from cyber attacks, terrorism and climate change, the FT reported.
Russia’s annexation of Crimea and military support for Ukrainian separatists, along with increased activity and exercises near the Baltics and Scandinavia have caused deep unease in Sweden.
The neutral country has begun to reverse deep post war defence cuts and incursions by Russian planes and submarines have sparked intense public debate over whether to join Nato.

They only fight armed invaders.
Apperently, Russians perceived as greater evil there. I agree.
Swedes are prompted to listen for updated bulletins by tuning in to their official A.B.B.A news agency bureau for calls of S.O.S.
I don’t see the Russians sending the tanks in.
They are pansies who only attack low lying fruit.
Russia aint what it used to be.
I suppose they could sail westward from St. Petersburg and invade by water. That would avoid having to deal with Finland. They’d do well to wait until warmer weather for such an operation, though.
Now THAT is a good question.

Unfortunately neither is Sweden. Make that all of Western Europe.
I think Swedish liberals see President Trump and American conservatives as their prime enemies. Trump is Putin’s puppet, every liberal knows that.
package includes a white flag, they have been practicing with the invading hordes who have immigrated to their country
Handing out leaflets. About as dumb as handing out plastic bracelets to ward off muzzy rapists.
I think you are selling the French short.
“” “” I think you are selling the French short.”” “”
A single European country which actually has a military nowadays.
I don’t think that is Sweden’s biggest problem. try mooselimbs.
“” “” Russia would have to go through Finland to attack Sweden. Russia has some experience with warring with Finland and those experiences haven’t been good from Russia’s perspective.”” “”
That was before 1941 and totally different in 1945.
And before that Finns and Russians usually teamed up against the Swedes.
Sweden’s internal muzzie threat will consume it before the Russians do.
