ParticipantSweden and war talk.
So why would Finland and Sweden suddenly want to join NATO, unless something different from regular “defence” propaganda was in the offing? It’s a new and drastic move to suddenly take, isn’t it?

ParticipantMy old mother was an extra in the 1960’s BBC docudrama The War Game, playing ‘dead housewife supine on the sidewalk’. Sadly, she was so badly charred it was impossible to distinguish her from the other corpses so her acting career ended there.

ParticipantI understand the fact that the possibility of a nuclear holocaust creates fear and stress, TM, and I wouldn’t want to trivialise that in any way, however it is also important to look at things from as close to our understanding of reality as we can.
In terms of nuclear bunkers, ask yourself if you had squillions to spend would you consider buying a nuclear bunker? It might at least something that you considered, you might not go for that option, but if you did, it would not mean that you thought the holocaust was about to arrive, you might just think it might be better to have the choice.
In terms of lead up to a nuclear war, I can’t imagine that there would ever be a full scale nuclear war without notice. The most likely scenario would be that small scale regional wars which grow and escalate, before any possibility of nuclear strike. If that was being considered the likelihood of mass protest and other action would probably precipitate changes in government, changes in approach.
In any event I would think it unlikely that the chain of command would follow orders to destroy themselves, their family, etc.
There have been lots of examples of this including von Choltitz refusal to destroy Paris

Participant“But there’s no way Trump will win.”
By all accounts, it’s actually 50/50. A Republican win is currently the bookmakers favourite in fact.

If the West is bombarding Russia with cruel spoofs like the last link refers to, then that in itself is very dangerous.

ParticipantJapan too.
Germany.
Germany was at first reluctant to let the US scupper the gas pipeline from Russia, but now the German govt is the most gung ho in Europe after the UK, Poland, Scandinavia and the Baltics.
