EU urged to improve civil defence against war and distasters…but some would prefer we don’t

“Netherlands joins seven other EU countries in raising alarm about emergency shelters and lack of co-ordination…

But in some countries, the EU’s preparedness plans have also stirred up panic and false claims that Europe was starting a war against Russia.”

Deep inside a Norway mountain, Nato allies train for Arctic war.

The Arctic, once a region of peaceful cooperation, is fast becoming a battleground for resources and territory.

At the heart of it is Norway – bordering Russia and hosting the secret military headquarters inside a mountain where any potential war against Russia would be co-ordinated with Nato allies.

The Golden Dome would never be completed within three years, as Trump has stated. He'd be long dead before any Golden Dome would exist. Still, a Golden Dome in a decade or so might not be a bad thing. "The Canadian military has been talking with American officials about participating in the U.S.led Golden Dome missile defence system for the past “few years,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said" #goldendome #canada #military #NATO #defence https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/canada-has-discussed-a-role-in-u-s--led-golden-dome-missile-defence-for/article_a579b814-9c06-41f7-a025-2bc0995f6ea2.html

@abcfeeds based upon #albanese s last term I’m going with big reform is not going to occur. To be honest I doubt small reform is going to happen either. We will have 4 years of tweaking and shoring up votes. So like the crappy half arsed federal #icac we got in the last term we will get crappy half arsed #environmemt, crappy half arsed #tax and crappy half arsed #defence. The guy isn’t actually into making big decisions or visions. #labor #auspol
