Russia and Swedish TV

Fear of Russian attack is growing on Swedish TV. 

Here is a description of the Swedish TV items I just watched in numerical order:

1. 
A showing of "The Man Who Saved the World" (a biography of a Russian who chose NOT to 'press the button' during a false alarm that caused Russia to believe it was under nuclear attack) 

2. 
Interviews of Russian and American commentators on increased tensions between the USA and Russia due to military proximity in Syria. 

3. 
A news report of increasing militarisation of the Swedish island of Gotland in case of Russian attack. 


At this point I had to stop watching because I was nearing the point of shitting my pants!

The Swedes seem to have a totally different approach to day-time TV compared to that of the British. British day-time TV bores the populace to death with shows on gardening and fixing the house. Swedish day-time TV simply scares the shit out of you!

Perhaps both approaches are methods of forcing the unemployed off their sofas and into jobs. Which begs the question: which is the most effective? I don't know, but at least the British get to wear clean underwear....

ON AN EVER-SO-SLIGHTLY MORE SERIOUS NOTE:

I would like to qualify this humorous article by saying I find the Swedish coverage of Russia extremely interesting. It represents something that is more or less 'shoved under the carpet' by the UK media (who only seem interested in the happenings of their own little island and hardly ever have any decent foreign news on TV..."We have just received a report that Thumper the Rabbit escaped from his owner Jessica Lostapett in Bogna Regis, but the jolly-jumping rogue found his way home in the end!...awwwwwww!")
