Sweden and Finland, which recently gave up neutrality and joined NATO following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, sent out updated civil preparedness guides on Monday with instructions how to survive in war.

The updated Swedish guide explains how to respond to an attack with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons: "Take cover in the same way as with an airstrike. Shelters provide the best protection. After a couple days, the radiation has decreased sharply.”

The Nordic countries all urge people to stockpile drinking water, canned food, medicine, heating, toilet paper, money and flashlights and candles. And if possible, keep the car fully refueled.

The checklist also includes iodine tablets, in case of a nuclear event.

I bet those Scandinavians feel good about choosing now to not be neutral. Dinks.

Hopefully the bulk of the nuclear fire will burn cities in Russia and Europe.

Taking out London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Dublin would be a net benefit to the British Isles.

Folks,

If you join NATO, would this not be part of standard operating procedures?

Fake news with an agenda.

I bet a lot of those shelters end up “immigrant-only”, with the ethnic Scandinavians wandering around outside.

Once one nuke flies, they all fly. There’s no such thing as a limited nuclear war. This is insanity.

There was a book that that came out earlier this year titled Nuclear War: A Scenario. All I can say is depressing and the best way to win such a war is to never fight it
