As the war in Ukraine escalates, thanks to the Biden administration insanely lifting restrictions on allowing the country to fire US long range missiles into Russia, Sweden is sending out pamphlets advising citizens how they should prepare for nuclear war.
That doesn’t bode well.
The Daily Mail reports “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.”
The report notes that the pamphlets, titled ‘If Crisis or War Comes’, are being distributed by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and advise that “we must prepare for the worst.”
The material states “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 further advises what to do after a nuke has detonated, noting “Shelter provides the best protection,” adding that people should head for basements or subways if there is no better option, and that “after a couple of days, the radiation has decreased significantly.”
Swedes shared images of the pamphlets on X:

This is a continuation of an ongoing move by the government in the country to put citizens on a war footing.
Following the Biden announcement, Ukraine is reported to have launched long range missiles at a target inside Russia, in the border region of Bryansk.
Bloomberg reports “Ukraine deployed ATACMS missiles to strike a military facility in the western Bryansk region, RBC Ukraine reported on Tuesday, citing an official in the nation’s military. It was the first known attack following the decision by President Joe Biden’s administration to approve Kyiv’s limited use of the weapons to hit targets inside Russia.”

At 3.25 am Ukrainian forces fired 6 US-produced ATACMS missiles at Russia's Bryansk region.
Five missiles were shot down by S-400 & Pantsir AA systems, one was damaged, its fragments fell in the technical zone of a military facility, causing a fire pic.twitter.com/Pew8n5wbvT
This is nuts.
As we highlighted earlier this week, Russia is furious about the development, and Putin has repeatedly stated that such a move would mean NATO countries are at war with Russia.
Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov also told the state-run Tass news service that“The Russian Federation retains the right to use nuclear weapons in the case of aggression using conventional weapons against it’ that poses a critical threat to sovereignty or territorial integrity.”
The country has also updated its nuclear doctrine to reflect the new threat.
Russia's new nuclear doctrine means NATO missiles fired against our country could be deemed an attack by the bloc on Russia. Russia could retaliate with WMD against Kiev and key NATO facilities, wherever they're located. That means World War III.
