NATO countries preparing populations for war – media
Several Nordic countries have published information advising their populations on how to prepare for a possible war or other unexpected crises, multiple media outlets have reported.
Sweden started sending out millions of updated booklets this week titled “In case of crisis or war.” This year’s pamphlet is twice as large as the last edition because of what the government describes as a worsening security situation due to the Ukraine conflict.
Finns are urged to be prepared to cope with power outages during the winter months with a back-up power supply, iodine tablets (used to protect the thyroid gland from the effects of radiation) and easy-to-cook foods. The Finnish online brochure also explains how the government plans to respond in case the country is under attack.

Hong Kong jails 45 campaigners on subversion charges
Hong Kong’s largest national security trial saw sentences ranging from four to 10 years for all 45 campaigners on the stand for their role in organizing an unofficial primary election in 2020.
Had their plan succeeded, they theoretically could have vetoed the government's budget to eventually force the resignation of then Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam.
The court, however, rejected the defendants' claim that their election was legal, asserting that the plan could have led to a constitutional crisis.

Macron says US made 'good decision' to lift Ukraine missile restrictions
French President Emmanuel Macron gave his outgoing US counterpart Joe Biden a pat on the back for greenlighting permission for Kiev to use US-made ATACMS into Russian territory on the sidelines of the G20 meeting in Rio de Janeiro.

Apparently Ukraine's foreign mercenary recruitment isn't escalatory though.
