Summary

Sweden’s burial associations are seeking land to prepare for potential mass wartime burials, prompting new crisis readiness guidelines following the country’s decision to join NATO amid rising tensions with Russia.

In Gothenburg, officials aim to acquire 10 acres for emergency burials and 15 acres for regular cemetery use.

Sweden’s neutrality ended after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, prompting civil defense measures and NATO membership.

        Yeah, we all should just lay here and watch Russia invade Europe one by one. Fuck off, Yank.

          I would argue for the exact opposite of that tho.

          If you want to stop Russia, isn’t joining NATO a good thing?

            If we’re being honest, I’m not even sure about that anymore. I just want to sleep until it’s all over or something.

              Before we elected Trump, I would have said rest a little easier thinking about the amount of money the US spends on defense and that we’d be coming to back any NATO member if Putin fucks around but now… I don’t know.
