At 9 a.m. on Nov. 18, Finland launched a new website to show people how to last 72 hours in the event of a crisis or conflict. The same Monday, Sweden began mailing updated leaflets to its 5.2 million households urging a “greater emphasis on preparing for war.”
The two initiatives were the latest responses by NATO’s newest members to a more dangerous world, and they came on the eve of a sharp reminder of what that means. A day later, Ukraine fired American missiles into Russia for the first time, taking their war into a new phase.
