In contrast to the NATO expansion of former Soviet states that needed big boosts in the decades after the Cold War, the alliance would be bringing in two sophisticated militaries and, in Finlandโs case, a country with a remarkable tradition of national defense. Both Finland and Sweden are in a region on one of Europeโs front lines and meeting places with Russia.
Finland, defending against Soviet Russiaโs invasion on the eve of World War II, relied on fighters on snowshoes and skis, expert snow and forest camouflage, and reindeers transporting weapons.
Russia has been building its fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers, aiming to escort expected future commercial shipping traffic through the melting Arctic, โas a way to create this toll road for transit,โฒ said Sherri Goodman, a former U.S. first deputy undersecretary of defense, now at the Wilson Centerโs Polar Institute and at the Center for Climate & Security.

Thus, not going to end well for Nato/Otan, if the globalists dig in. ๐คก
