this was discussed during today news in Poland. Russia loves extending their boarders everywhere www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6ppl5v1lwzo There have been calls for calm in Finland and the Baltic states after a draft Russian decree proposed revising its borders in the Baltic Sea. Latvia said it was trying to clarify the situation, but Lithuania warned that the Kremlin was aiming to intimidate its neighbours with a "deliberate, targeted escalatory provocation". Finnish President Alexander Stubb said political leaders were watching the situation closely and Helsinki "acts as always: calmly and based on facts". The draft Russian defence ministry decree suggested moving the sea borders around Russian islands in the Gulf of Finland and around the exclave of Kaliningrad. The decree was first highlighted on Tuesday, when Russia's Tass news agency and other media reported on its proposal to redraw old borders dating back to the Soviet era in January 1985. |

Jaga Interesting situation that has implications that concerns both Russian interest and that of NATO membership states such as Denmark, Sweden and Finland. For at present, these newly joined forces have gained NATO membership and as such would have the ability of blocking the only primary Baltic Sea route of the Russian navy and of course the fortified Kaliningrad access. For as would be of one of the greatest concern to the Russian mindset, is the gradual enclosure of Russia by out side forces of which NATO at present represents. www.politico.eu/article/nato-lake-what-sweden-and-finland-will-change-in-the-baltics-russia-ukraine-war/Karl |

 BNNVARA is a broadcasting association and network within the Dutch public broadcasting systemPoland is building a huge army because of the impending war with Russia21-05-2024 Poland wants to build the strongest army in Europe to prevent or repel a possible attack by imperialist Russia. Within ten years, the size of the NATO member state's armed forces must be doubled, without the reintroduction of active military service. For example, a large pool of reservists is being built up of citizens who have a regular job, as an archivist for example, and perform military duties in their spare time. The interest in this is remarkably high.
The war is not yet won. After the end of the Cold War, many bunkers and shelters for the civilian population were closed down or sold to commercial parties. A lot of work is being done to expand the resources for civil protection, as this report from France 24 shows: |
