Finally, in the gas sector, the CEF will support, with nearly €215 million, the Baltic Pipe project, a new, bi-directional offshore gas interconnection between Poland and Denmark. This pipeline will be crucial for security of supply and market integration of the region"I think Poland still have to rely on Russian energy. Like Germany of course. |

Now an eye will have to kept on Russian ships in those areas that maybe dragging their anchors. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-bullying-undersea-baltic-cable/26996165.html Sweden, Finland, and the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are by now accustomed to growing Russian military activity near their airspace and territorial waters. And it's not only power cables. A lot of telecommunication cables as well. Then we have this... |

Love the Russian news outlets RT and Sputnik. They only cover news about Europe but Russia, Middle East and the US and make twisted stories of them. Today Sputnik News have this news on "dogs' carbon footprint, in which vegetarian food for pets was proposed as a "climate-smart" alternative." https://sputniknews.com/viral/201901241071780733-sweden-dogs-vegeterianism/ No. Professor Sigrid Agenäs doesn't explains "how the dog can eat climate-smart". Perhaps the Sputnik and RT team should learn Swedish a bit more. Arf Arf:) |

Oh. I forgot to mention that Russia's story about the Swedish "Spy Plane" came only the day after that a Russian "Spy Plane" together with two fighter jets actually entered Swedish airspace. https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/sweden-russian-fighter-jets-briefly-violated-our-airspace-1.6871971 |

Some more not so surprising news. Russia has suspended its involvement in the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) following a similar decision by the US. President Vladimir Putin said Russia would start developing new missiles. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47101429 "I want to draw your attention to the fact that we should not and will not be dragged into the arms race that is costly for us," the Russian president told Lavrov and Shoigu. |

It's now winter and cold and lot's of snow. Perhaps also some nuclear winter soon... So just in case, prepare by making an Ushanka. And don't forget your cat. Davai:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4NBZ5ZB07U If you have a bear as a pet. Just multiply the sizes by 5. PS. You can of course use Ushankas in the USA as well just in case... |

Russia jails Dane for six years in Jehovah's Witnesses purge https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-politics-religion/russia-jails-dane-for-six-years-in-jehovahs-witnesses-purge-idUSKCN1PV0W2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vBjKqCCKRY Russia has a very weird mind of what extremism is. In fact all opinions, political or religous, can be thought as extremists if you want to. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarovaya_law The Yarovaya law (rus. Закон Яровой), also Yarovaya package/bag, refers to a pair of Russian federal bills, 374-FZ and 375-FZ, passed in 2016.[1] The bills amend a pre-existing counter-terrorism law and separate laws regulating additional counter-terror and public safety measures. |

First picture of Swedens new Sigint-ship aka Spy-ship to replace HMS Orion in the Baltic Sea. History of HMS Orion. She was built with extensive support from the US National Security Agency (NSA) [3] and launched in 1984. In the same year, Orion participated in the submarine hunt at Karlskrona when she (together with the magnetic loops at Kungsholmen) via her sonar perceived a marked echo when approaching Karlskrona .

Moscow accuses Norway of northern military buildup - Here is map of submarine ports https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/security/2019/02/moscow-continues-accuse-norway-northern-military-buildup-here-map-submarine-ports “Contrary to the historical traditions of neighborly relations and cooperation in the Arctic, Oslo continues to escalate tension and increase the risk of military action. This will not be left without a response,†Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters Russian logic. One submarine port 375 kilometers from the Russian border is very close. Russian naval forces 45 km and 110 km from Norway's border are not close. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zapadnaya_Litsa_(naval_base) In comparison, 2/3 of Russia’s naval forces, including about 30 nuclear powered submarines, are based on the Barents Sea coast. Zapadnaya Litsa, where the 4th generation multi-purpose attack submarine of the Yasen class has homeport is 40 kilometers from the border to Norway.

The Munich Security Conference (MSC) is a leading international platform on security policy and is hold this weekend. Garry Kasparov tweeted this. https://twitter.com/Kasparov63/status/1096874452221083648 Having Russian officials speak the Munich Security Conference is like having a medical conference on fighting cancer and inviting tobacco companies to explain why cancer isn't really a problem.Well as long countries at very least talk to each other I don't see any problem. |

Apparently Russia think they have the right to decide whats published in news media in both Norway and Sweden! https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/civil-society-and-media/2019/02/barents-observer-now-blocked-russia#.XGwAkZBMtPs.twitter «Block this newspaper to hell,» says Vitaly Milonov. He is Member of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, and known for his hardline stance on liberals and independent-minded groups. Sorry Putin and his mafia cronies. We have press freedom here in Scandinavia since we live in a democratic society. And we have the right to publish news in any language we want to. Russian, English, Swedish, Finnish, Arabic, Kurdish or any other language! |

Russian provocation again:( It was just before lunch on Tuesday that a Russian Su-27 fighter plane flew near a Swedish signals intelligence aircraft outside the Baltic coast. The Swedish aircraft performed one of its routine assignments and flew over international water and airspace, states the Swedish Armed Forces. - Then it was courted. A Su-27 came as we judge as at a Russian incident hunting. It approached at super-sonic speed and met us. It turned around and after another passage it was very close. It was about 20 meters from us that you can see in the pictures, says Anders Persson, Chief of the Air Staff in Uppsala. And the Finnish government decided to award 1.65 million € for identifying GPS jamming in its supplementary budget to the civilian Finnish Transport and Communications Agency. This is a completely new proposal. The background is the recent instances of Russian GPS jamming in the north, hitting Finland and Norway |
