So in the new round of fearmongering, Norway has seen a run on pharmacies, and people have been buying up all the iodine pills.
Now in peoples defense, our department for emergency preparedness has been encouraging "prepping" for years, including keeping iodine pills at home. Success of which has been piss-poor.
But now today ive seen two people on twitter reporting that schools and kindergartens are being told to inform their counties of student numbers, and inform parents of the existing program of iodine tablets for children in case of emergency.
People who lived through the cold war are baffled and even they who lived with MAD and through Chernobyl cant understand this over-night paranoia seemingly being fueled by the government.
I saw a post on one of the normie platforms over the weekend looking for information on local bomb shelters--in Texas of all places. Because you know the 50+ years of cold war tensions didn't lead to nuclear apocalypse, but little old Ukraine is worth nuking the world over.
To be fair, this situation is incredibly similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis, only the reverse, with NATO encroaching on Russia's borders.
Many people forget part of the Cuban Missile Crisis concerned US missiles stationed in Turkey and Italy, before Russia decided to put missiles in Cuba. I'd really like to not go back to the cold war.
