Russland & Verbündete gegen Europa & USA

[Schneemann]

An der Außengrenze des NATO-Bereiches sinnieren Finnland und Polen darüber nach, eine der ältesten natürlichen Barrieren überhaupt - Sumpfgebiete - wieder "einsatzbereit" zu machen, indem trockengefallene ehemalige Sümpfe wieder bewässert werden sollen. Angriffen mit mechanisierten Kräften soll so ein Riegel vorgeschoben werden. (Wobei: Wenn ich mir die bisherigen russischen Operationen so anschaue, dann werden sie wohl auch einfach in diesen Gegenden drauflos fahren, egal ob sie dann steckenbleiben.)

To defend against Russian tanks, Finland and Poland consider restoring wetlands

Finland and Poland are both considering rewetting dried-out peatbogs to form defence barriers against a potential Russian ground invasion. Restoring these natural carbon sinks could also bring significant environmental benefits. [...] Finland recently completed the first stretch of a wall along its 1,340-kilometre frontier with Russia and has been closely monitoring an increase in Russian troop movements on the other side.

This summer, Poland added protective minefields to a 20-kilometre stretch bordering both Russia and Belarus, as part of its sprawling “East Shield” development programme for defence infrastructure. [...]

In Poland, the defence ministry is keen to restore wetlands along the eastern border and talks are under way between scientists and the defence and environment ministries. “Nature is an ally, and we want to use it,” Cezary Tomczyk, a state secretary at Poland’s defence ministry, told Politico. A German peatland thinktank, The Greifswald Mire Centre, in June called for the EU to establish a fund worth up to €500 million to finance planning and rewetting 100,000 hectares of land.
