Swedish Civil Defense, Neutron Bombs and Ballistic Missile Fear
Sweden’s distribution of nuclear war pamphlets is dismissed as a long-standing civil defense practice rather than a new escalation. The hosts recall the Cold War-era "neutron bomb" scares and argue that current media emphasis on "nuclear-capable" missiles is a psychological operation to prepare the public for a war economy. They contend that the ability to put nuclear warheads on small delivery systems has existed for decades, making recent "tests" less revolutionary than reported.
