Bunker down for Doomsday


How much longer is the majority working class class going to allow this madness to go on before Mutually Assured Destruction sees the end of us all?

The SOYMB post, Has the Doomsday Clock just jumped forward? noted that Swedish and Norwegians had been ‘receiving copies of a pamphlet advising the population how to prepare and cope in the event of war or another unexpected crisis.

Now Germans are being ‘encouraged to convert their own basements into fortified bunkers.’

‘The German government is drawing up a list of public buildings to use as bunkers in the event of a major war with Russia breaking out, an Interior Ministry spokesman has said.

Among the structures being considered are metro stations, underground car parks, and some other state buildings. Citizens will also be encouraged to convert their own basements and garages into shelters.

Once the list is compiled, Germans will be able to use an app to locate their nearest bunker.

While the spokesman did not mention the Ukraine conflict during his briefing, German tabloid Bild claimed that the decision to expand Germany’s bunker network was made in light of the perceived threat of war with Russia.

Germany emerged from the Cold War with more than 2,000 such bunkers, although around three quarters of these have since been decommissioned. Germany’s current network of 579 bunkers has space to accommodate around 480,000 people, a fraction of the country’s population of 84 million, Reuters reported.

The so-called “bunker plan” was agreed in June. However, the press conference came just after the US and France both confirmed that they gave Ukraine permission to use ATACMS and SCALP-EG missiles to conduct long-range strikes on internationally-recognized Russian territory.’
