#5Slightly more up to date than 1979, the Swedish government recently produced and sent to all residents a "in case of crisis or war" guide that includes a bunch of helpful tips on how to be prepared in case of crisis, and is very concise and easy to read: https://rib.msb.se/filer/pdf/30874.pdf (some Sweden-specifics, like about all the civil defence shelters being available everywhere, but most things are generic and global advice)

#6Iran doesn't have nukes and the Obama deal was really good. Iran didn't want to develop nukes. But now it totally makes sense that they should.

Hillary Clinton was interviewed recently and she was refreshingly candid about the glaring problems with the “Obama deal” which most notably was that it did nothing to prevent Iran from amassing a large stockpile of ballistic missiles and giving support to violent factions like the Yemeni’s who you may recall used such to disrupt global trade. It was better than nothing, and maybe good, but it’s worth adding context when someone describes it as “really good.” Hillary Clinton wouldn’t use that phrase.

Where is this interview? I Haven't heard of this. So now you're trying to equate missiles with a nuke program?

#9One test I now use on survival related material, especially ones written pre-COVID, is how long does it take them before they start talking about how to cut hair.
One thing we learned during COVID was a significant limitation in people's willingness to stay isolated was their hair was getting out of control. It's the exact, boring, unsexy topic that you omit if you're selling the fantasy of survival and you include if you want to cover the boring, day to day logistics.
The entire survival industry is not acquitted well in being revealed as how much the industry is an aesthetic movement.

The Iraq War was pushed through under the claim of preventing Iraq from obtaining Weapons of Mass Destruction, which presumably could have included nuclear weapons.
The Bush administration sold the claim in part because of aluminum tubes which they claimed could be used to create ballistic missiles. Clinton, who herself voted for the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002, is aware that parts that could be used to build ballistic missiles is pretty much fungible with nukes in a lot of American's minds.
It's not the commenter who is trying to equate missiles with nukes, it's the American political discourse that posited and accepted this claim nearly 25 years ago.
