There is a saying in Sweden from war times which is "En Svensk tiger", which is a word-play for the swedish word "tiger" which is the present continuous verb form of "to shut up", but also - just like in english, is the noun for tiger, the animal. So the sentence can be read like "A swede shuts up", or "a swedish tiger". This idiom is accompanied with a picture of a blue and yellow-striped tiger.

There was not super hard censorship of the media in Sweden during WW2, but a general consensus of "opsec", as the tacticool dudes would call it nowadays, being important. Not just for immediate operational secrecy, but in general - "don't talk too much about what we are doing".

All this to say: 60 minutes doing this strangely presented piece on the US helping Ukraine is an example of where shutting up could be better. "ALL fIfTy THOUUUUUSAND oF tHem!!11". Of course the US is helping Ukraine. But useful idiots will use this as some sort of "AHA, gotcha"-argument about how the US is helping "too much".

Ukrooners mad that public info was reported on
