Hello Bluesky!
In light of recent global instability, I thought there could be interest in forming civilian alliances with our friends in northern countries. Together we can form a forceful voice for securing our sovereign futures.
I invite everyone with good intentions to join.
Stronger together!

Gott kvöld from Iceland, where more Icelanders are wanting to join the EU.
In an unstable world, with twin threats of Trump & Putin - it’s the EU they look to as the club of values, culture, defence and trade to which they want to belong. 🇮🇸🇪🇺

The 🇸🇪Swedish government has requested the Parliament for approval of the sale of up to 4 GlobalEye to 🇩🇰Denmark. It is likely the result of a combination of the existing Danish NATO capability target for JISR & signal intelligence capability and demand for surveillance in the North Atlantic.
