Sweden’s Effort to Prepare for Invasion

 

Listening to Episode 162 of The Forward Observer Podcast was extremely interesting. The host discussed that the Swedish government has put out a guide on what to do should a major disaster occur effecting citizens everyday lives. More to the point – the guide’s true purpose and origin is the result of a possible Russian invasion. Due to Sweden’s inability to defend itself, they direct the population to behave in a manner that promotes guerilla warfare and distrust of governmental assistance after said conflict.

Here is the podcast:

General “stocking up” advice is provided for essentials such as food, water, warmth, and communications.  The government promotes “resistance” as a means of fighting back. Beyond a direct physical attack, cyber attack is also mentioned several times.

I like a lot of the things in this guide. As mentioned in the Forward Observer podcast, what if you made a similar guide with general preparedness tips and provided to your neighbors? Possibly as part of a Neighborhood Watch program? Better prepared neighbors are likely to make it easier for everyone in the event of some type of disaster.

Here is the guide if you want to see it: If Crisis of War Comes
