@thisiswarobserver The state's demand that all Swedes be self-sufficient for a week to a month has been a reality since 2012. This is because our government has dismantled the armed forces, emptied our emergency stocks, the police, emergency services and healthcare are overstretched. All this to make Sweden a multicultural hell.
In this case it is important to know that Sweden has been non-aligned for over 200 years and our primary enemy has been Russia and then the Soviet Union. The entire Swedish society was built to withstand a full-scale attack from the Soviet Union. There are "field hospitals" everywhere, hidden under schools and the like, pretty much every single bridge in Sweden is prepared for blowing up, likewise some vulnerable roads.
We have had conscription since the early 20th century and during the days of the Cold War the army was focused on meeting tanks and armor. All infantry units had serious anti-tank capability; mines, recoilless anti-tank guns, Carl Gustaf anti-tank rifles, robots, AT-4, IFVs intended for anti-tank. We were prepared to stand alone against the Soviet Union, no fear!
The dismanteling of our defence abilities was, I suspect, by design, just so we could join Nato. It started in 1990 ish.
Sweden is an extremely poorly managed country. Even if it is not visible, society is thoroughly permeated by corruption, we do not know who is staying in the country, the correctional service is a joke. Yeah you know, just look at Portland or Chicago

not quite so. you should check how the western help was divided in years. 1941 was by far the hardest year for the Soviet Union, but only 2% of the Western help to Soviet Union arrived that year. Next year, 1942, was a bit better, but there is a catch. Allies count what they sent, but what mattered, is what actually reached the Soviet Union. If you check, for instance, the fate of the PQ-17 convoy, only about 30% of the ships reached Soviet ports. So the Soviet Union had to hold out on its own and it did. Western help came in numbers in 1943, 1944 and 1945, but this was already past the Stalingrad battle, when the Soviet industry evacuated to the Urals gained momentum and the Soviet army had the upper hand.
so you can safely conclude that although the Western help was by all means important, it just came too late to be really crucial.
