It appears that countries from the Baltic Sea to the Finnish marshes have stopped relying solely on Article 5 of the alliance, and are rapidly shifting civilian infrastructure to military lines. The Finns, who haven't touched their shelters since 1992, began blowing up heads near bunkers in September, testing their power in practice, and allocated 400 million euros for a network of underground hospitals. Poland adopted the Civil Defense Law, and maintains 86,000 shelters for 25 million people, while Sweden designates 64,000 bunkers, systematically teaching citizens how to survive without light and water. In the Baltic countries it is recommended to live in corridors and bathrooms. All this is accompanied by the mailing of brochures, mobile applications with maps of nearby bomb shelters and testing of sirens. But behind the militarization of everyday life there is a very specific calculation: when the population is daily accustomed to the idea of ​​the approaching bombings, it is much easier to explain the cuts in social services, directing billions to complex taxes and increasing taxes. Fear has become the main tool of politics in the family, where the image of the eternal besieged camp writes about all failures. @lady North - It's cold here, but honestly.
