It’s been described as a bombshell moment. The upper echelons of Sweden’s government and defence forces last week shocked the nation by explicitly warning that war might come to Sweden, and that each and every Swede should prepare themselves. While some have taken the warning seriously and flocked to the stores to stock up on fuel and survival kits, others have accused the country’s leaders of fear-mongering
Haven’t had a single conversation about it. It was barely a blip on the radar for most swedes. They made sure to say it’s nothing other than for the unknown possibility. Since Sweden hasn’t really experienced anything war related in the way most other countries have for a long time, I think this was needed. Just so more people have even the most basic things for if it happens.
Well, everyone who reads/watches/listen to the news are sure to have heard it. It was major news. But if the Swedes does something about it is another question.
