Sweden and Finland, which recently gave up neutrality and joined NATO following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, sent out updated civil preparedness guides on Monday with instructions how to survive in war.

Hopefully the bulk of the nuclear fire will burn cities in Russia and Europe.

Taking out London, Edinburgh, Manchester, and Dublin would be a net benefit to the British Isles.

Folks,

If you join NATO, would this not be part of standard operating procedures?

Fake news with an agenda.
