'The Swedish government will distribute leaflets to the countrys 4.7 million households later this year explaining what to do if war breaks out with Russia, the Civil Contingencies Agency in Stockholm said Thursday.
The announcement comes in the middle of a heated parliamentary election campaign, and amid a renewed fear of hostilities with its eastern neighbor.
The leaflets will also explain how Swedes should react in a terror attack, after a natural disaster or following a cyberattack against critical infrastructure.
The move was prompted in part by the security situation in the Baltic Sea, officials told CNN.
Russia has built up a significant military presence on its western border in recent months.'

(889 posts)I could see why Russia might want to invade the Baltic states, or the Ukraine, or maybe even Poland.
But Sweden? What in the world would Russia gain from occupying Sweden? If I had to bet, I'd bet that Sweden is trying to stir things up, for some reason. What that reason is, I can't even guess.
