| Sweden distributes 'be prepared for war' leaflet to all 4.8m homes |
| 2018-05-22 |
| [Guardian] The Swedish government has begun sending all 4.8m of the country’s households a public information leaflet telling the population, for the first time in more than half a century, what to do in the event of a war. Om krisen eller kriget kommer (If crisis or war comes) explains how people can secure basic needs such as food, water and heat, what warning signals mean, where to find bomb shelters and how to contribute to Sweden’s "total defence". The 20-page pamphlet, illustrated with pictures of sirens, warplanes and families fleeing their homes, also prepares the population for dangers such as cyber and terror attacks and climate change, and includes a page on identifying fake news. |

| #6 And exactly whom does the pamphlet name as the invading foe? I'm guessing Israel. |
