infections. and likely unconstitutional. a florida judge appointed by ron desantis says the governor s proposed congressional map is not fair because the judge says it boxes out black voters. but we begin this hour in europe with a dramatic example of how vladimir putin s war in ukraine is backfiring. today finland s leaders say they support ending decades of neutrality and joining nato. the nato chief promises a quick welcome if finland follows through and applies to join the alliance. the kremlin says finland joining nato would definitely pose a threat to russia s security. the president of finland says putin has one man to blame for this decision. well, if that would be the case that we join, my response would be that you caused this. look at the mirror. sweden could soon follow finland. new nato members would redraw the security map and expand along russia s border the alliance putin hoped to weaken with his assault on ukraine. we begin our coverage with h helsinki an
fall. you were later the commanding general of u.s. forces. imagine a nato, put your general u.s. forces europe back, a nato that includes finland along russia s border that would likely include sweden. think about the naval access up here. how significant is it that vladimir putin is getting a sense for the opposite of what he wants and expanded stronger nato on his doorstep? yeah. john, thank you for reminding me of my past, first. secondly, during my time in europe as an older guy, we worked extensively with finland, sweden and norway in partnership exercises and training. especially doing cold weather training. finland and sweden have played their independence and nato neutrality well. the people in the government are feeling threatened and they want protection against additional russian advances. if you look at the map of sweden, like a look. nato s brorder with russia will double in size. something many putin doesn t want.

Under a new agreement announced Friday, April 16, Norway will allow the U.S. to build its presence on Norwegian soil. This comes amid expansionist and aggressive Russian actions along Norway’s borders.
The U.S. is to build facilities on four different existing Norwegian bases. Nevertheless, none of them will be a separate American base. The four locations include the airports of Rygge, Sola, and Evenes, as well as the Ramsund naval station. Rygge and Sola airports are in southern Norway, while Evenes and Ramsund are in the northern part of the country.

Fort Wainwright is located near Fairbanks, Alaska about 200 miles from the Arctic circle. It has earned the reputation of being the military’s coldest military installation. And for good reason. Temperatures in the wintertime routinely drop to less than 20 degrees below zero and can stay there for weeks at a time. But the cold doesn’t stop the training. In fact, the fort is home to the Army’s Northern Warfare Training Center. About 500 soldiers pass every year through the center. Those soldiers learn the secret to surviving and operating militarily in the extreme cold. While there are lots we can’t tell you about their training, we have extracted the three basic principles by which these soldiers live during their cold-weather survival training. Pay attention, as these principles are lifesavers.
