Absolutely we should! Majority of causalities would occur just because there was nowhere close enough to get underground. I think we need bomb shelters everywhere in big cities, but at least we do have cave systems and such here in the Appalachian Mountains. I'm thankful I live out in the boonies. Lol!

As a swede, we have had this kind of pamphlet for years. It's very interesting seeing non swedes react to it

[@Vollification]

I would love to see reactons of the olerones from the 60s :)

[@cavscout888]

It's likely meant to give people hope that the state will maintain control, and that they will survive. More likely starving to death, disease, and battlefield/collateral death is what will actually befall many, many people if serious war breaks out. Using propaganda to blur the image of war is how they get populations to go along with fighting a war, so that those at the top stay in power.

[@antioch4019]

As a 43yo Swede seeing a lot of videos about this pamphlet, I want to clarify this is my 6th during my lifetime. You are only referensing the info in them but others have made such a huge deal out of it. We do get them with a few years in between, updated with new info as new threats or situations change. F ex the introduction of cyber threats or the fact that we now are in NATO etc. This is in no way something that indicates that we are expecting WWIII or "preparing for war". We have always been under the threat of Russia as are many other countries close to Russia so we have always drilled these things into our citizens. They are our only feasable threat. That is why all our military gear is primarily specifically designed to counter Russian designs and to work in arctic conditions rather than designing them "well rounded" to work anywhere in the world. Americans have in the cold war been fearful of being nuked by them, but never really been under a threat of actual invasion. There hasn't been anyone that could realistically pose a threat of invasion to the US in basically a century. And not only talking about military strenght but just the sheer logistics of tackling the huge ass moat that are the oceans sourrounding the US. You also don't have any neighbors of note that are authoritarian and long for empires. Unfortunately the bliss of this and the polarization in the US has led many Americans to even see Russia as something good, as a good example of "traditional christian family values" and repeat their propaganda about Ukraine not realising the risk of Americans dying by Russians actually increases if they win in Ukraine. You don't know, you never fought a war against them, you never been under occupation by them and truly know their mindset and how much of a fascist state they are, oppressing even their own. And you can clearly see what happens to states that fall under their influence or under their rule. They are all oppressive fascist states subordinate to Moscow. Because it is easier to outsource the oppression to someone else so you only need to threaten and opress that leader. We also test and sound our alarm system the first wednesday of the month at 3pm for the last 50 years. So we are used to that as well. Seen some videos of foreigners reporting it as "something terrible just happened in Sweden". No it's just normality for us.

@@hiltonhillhomestead I don't think that anyone want to depopulate the US, but the elite do prioritize things that might not include your survival. If you want to see a prepared county, have a look at Finland! When the Soviet Union was dismantled, Sweden and Finland had the same preparedness. Finland kept building shelters and backups for the backups while Sweden abandoned everything and actually used 8 million gas masks as fuel in power plants. Sweden is more than 60 years behind Finland and hence have a long way and HUGE expense to even get what we had in the 1960's. Check out "Finland, underground cities". They have underground shopping malls with parking garage, that can become bomb shelters in seconds, and the food, medication, water, ventilation.. is always fully stocked and running at 100,0%

[@matsv201]

Basically the same one was sent out between the 1950 and to 1989 and it was refined over the years. The new one is just updated from what we know from the Ukraine war. Sweden didn´t send load of equipment to Ukraine to help Ukraine. Did so to gather information about war with the Russians

[@znail4675]

@@matsv201 No, Sweden definitely sent aid to Ukraine to help them win, not for info. It's consider vital enough that Ukraine wins that Sweden is willing to reduce it's own current defenses to accomplish that. The best example is that Sweden sent all AWACS planes they have to Ukraine.

[@michaelpettersson4919]

​@@znail4675Yep. Replacements are in the works but they are not ready yet. They also got plenty of AT4's, modern tanks, CV90 IFV, CB90 boats, alongside some other assorted things. We would probably sent them some Gripen fighters as well but the US vetoed that due to American made components in them. And we gave them some Archer mobile artillery system. The Archer is the king of shoot and shoot tactics. A perfect piece to avoid enemy counter fire.

[@RaXXha]

An interesting bit on the "everyone 16-70 is mobilised" part, is that this doesn't only apply to Citizens, it applies to EVERYONE of that age that happens to be living in the country at the time.

[@Fluxwux]

Yeah. Meaning that for example foreign exchange students, newly arrived asylum seekers, someone from the EU (or other western country) living just a few months in Sweden for work - ALL have to fight (or at least do civilian work crucial for the war effort) and will be denied approval to leave the country. I do however think that Sweden will be lenient with this rule and probably let non citizens leave. Even in wartime it is pretty impossible to legally require non citizens to take that responsibility and trap them in Sweden, and in some cases you maybe don’t want foreigners in your military or other crucial sectors during a war.

[@michaelpettersson4919]

The situation need to pretty bleak for us to send a 70 year old to the frontlines. However elderly people could help out with things in order to free up those that are suitable to fight.

[@Fluxwux]

@@michaelpettersson4919 Yeah, I do think that’s what older people and people with some health issues will be doing instead.

When it comes to shelters, sweden has a lot of them, as many houses that were built during the cold war were built with a shelter. unfortunately, many are old and they are being upgraded, but I think someone said that it would take around 20 years before everything was ready. but an old shelter is better than no shelter.

[@bjornh4664]

The pamphlet is the modern version of the information in the official phone books distributed in Sweden during the Cold War. Much of it is the same, and there was a very similar pamphlet released some years ago when it was realized that "the eternal peace" (1991-2014) was over. A couple of generations of people and politicians had been lulled into believing that nothing bad was going to happen in our neighborhood, so there was a feeling of complacency that was definitely shattered on 24 February 2022. I'm 59, and a volunteer in our National Defense Force. In case of a crisis or war, our unit is tasked with protecting important infrastructure. The state of preparedness is a shadow of what it was during the Cold War, though, when we had stockpiles, from fuel to coffee and tobacco, that would last half a year even if we were completely cut off from the rest of the world. It is good that people realize that what's happening to the Ukrainians could happen to you.

I'm Swedish. It's quite flabberghasting to see the surprise around the world. When the pamphlet arrived, I browsed it through and noticed there was really nothing new. I find it too politically correct actually, not really being up front with all threats that people actually discuss from time to time. The first version of this pamphlet arrived in 1943 and has been updated since then, every now and then. It used to be in the phone books that were automatically sent out to all households once upon a time. It's nothing new. It's nothing special. We're used. We've had 40+ wars with the Russians since the first time we attacked them several hundreds of years ago. Hell, even the word "enemy" is interchangeable with "Russian" in Swedish. Last time we fought, Sweden lost Finland, in the early 1800's. Being quite old, I remember the cold war and the constant threat of nuclear war as a kid. The current times almost feel... normal, kind of, sadly.

Those pamphlets was sent out ever year during the cold war, and sometimes also posters, that was put up somewhere they where out of sight, but you saw them every day (like inside of the door to the where you have your clothes) My dad had his war service assigned to his normal workplace.... Or... in reality, it probobly was the opposite. He was assigned to that place first, then he got a job there becasue he was assigned hence could be there on place if a war broke out suddenly. I probobly cant go into details, but the bomb shelter of that workplace was larger, and like a lot larger than the actual workplace. Probably like 5 times larger.

Elections just keep people divided so that we don’t call them out on their greed, corruption, hypocrisy and abuse.

14:40 "They also said to make sure that your pets have your name and your number somewhere on them if possible, so obviously on a collar... so I thought it was interesting they put it in the pamphlet". They didn't though. They just said that you should have a not with the number to the vetenarian, the pet's insurance info and the pet's ID-number.

[@stevestruthers6180]

The Swedes have their civil defence systems wired tight. Always have. In North America, we've gotten slack because we figure our relative remoteness from other countries, plus the US nuclear umbrella, renders us more or less immune to attack. And in fairness, it would be a massive and likely prohibitive logistical undertaking for any country to invade the North American continent and hold any amount of territory for anything more than the short term. The interesting thing about the booklet Sweden issued is that it doesn't just cover the issue of how to prepare for, and survive a nuclear attack, but it also covers how to deal with conventional warfare - as in, the Russians are invading Sweden and engaging in urban combat.

[@Mike80528]

@appalachianandcumberlandnature - What does FEMA do? That is not a rhetorical question. You know so much. Tell us what they are chartered to do (what is there mandate)?

On the serious side: All the things other countries like Sweden do, to keep its population safe, the United States of America does not do. The Swedish Pamphlet should be adopted by the USA!

[@Fluxwux]

Sweden does not have a second amendment style approach to civilian firearms however - which is the best crisis management and civilian protection the U.S. gives its citizens. Owning a gun is like 100x more difficult in Sweden than America - even if Sweden compared to most European countries have among the most relaxed restrictions on owning firearms (after Switzerland), but in order to own one legally you need a hunting license (even if you don’t plan on hunting), background/mental health checks and store your guns in 3 different armed boxes where every dismantled part is separated from the other. But I am thankful for the more active role Sweden’s government have in informing about prepping and civil defense, being blunt that prepping is a personal responsibility and people shouldn’t expect to be saved by our otherwise pretty relaxed nanny state for several weeks or months (or that the state won’t provide you with food and survival tools using taxpayer money - you need to buy it yourself), alongside with millions of still well maintained and accesible public fallout shelters able to withstand nuclear blasts. Almost every apartment building have a fallout shelter and in major cities like Stockholm the entire metro system and underground parking garages are designed to withstand nuclear blasts and be quickly transformed to be mega shelters. So essentially the entire Swedish urban population fits in to the fallout shelters in case of nuclear war and most people in cities live no more than 5 minutes away from a public shelter.

[@Lostinthesand]

Another 6 million copies will be sent out to digital mailboxes, here in Sweden. So that every single swede will get informed. However! Right now I'm pretty convinced it won't stop there. Since this "swedish pamphlet" is now breaking the internet, big time - it's everywhere, gdi, every single channel is talking about it! 😳 - I wouldn't be surprised if some 100 - 200 million copies of this pdf-broschure (in any preferred language) will be downloaded from our poor swedish website. 😖 Imagine, this very small, yellow broschure becoming the most well known swedish "export product" since... what, ABBA? Since IKEA? Since smörgåsbord? Since meatballs? 😯 Since surströmming? Nooo! Not bigger than surströmming, of course. (🐟, sour, fermented fish). Not possible. Surströmming? Never heard of surströmming? The absolutely most effective, devastating biological/chemical weaponry the swedes have ever come up with! 💥😄 It WILL defeat any of our enemies, that's for sure!
