    Sadly, if you haven't "invested" in an FT subscription, the article doesn't display.

    A while I registered with the FT just to read their blogs - and that's free, but it did let me read that item.

    .... as your doctrine requires.

    Frigate - The Epilogue

    It seems that my Scandinavian cousins had a good party recently, and by the
    comments from a number of western sources, Trident Juncture 2018 in Finland
    was "great success" (or was it Sacha Baron Cohen who said that?).

    Anyway, it sounds like the Russians (even though uninvited) may have managed
    to help the allies make the exercise a little more realistic.

    https://russia-insider.com/en/finnis...listic/ri25354

    It's as well allied aircraft didn't stray into Russian airspace as a result. Just
    imagine the drama that would have caused. And the newspaper headlines in
    the NY Times:

    "Russian Radar lures Allied Aircraft into Russian Air Space to use for
    Missile Target Practice".

    Though I think there may still be a small navigation problem present, with
    all the Scandinavian countries currently pulling to the right, instead of
    traditionally staying down the centre.

    That Norwegian frigate must surely be a case in point. At first, I thought
    they may have overdone "stealth mode" (build the vessel with a low profile
    designed to evade detection by radar), but I think from the latest photos
    we can safely say it was a simple navigation error.

    https://russia-insider.com/en/nato-d...-toast/ri25361

    I did hear (from anonymous sources) that with all the shipping traffic
    envisaged in the Arctic Circle in the future, the Allies were considering
    taking "stealth" to the next level and deploying military vessels looking
    exactly like oil tankers.

    Not only have they proven themselves to be more robust (case in point
    above), but it will become increasingly harder to tell which vessels are
    military and which are not.

    The Russians will never see that one coming (until it's too late, of course).

    Search for "FT Why the worlds recycling system stopped working" and it should be first off the rank.

    Thanks. Found and read the article. Very good.

    Just realised that if you Google the search string, you can find and read the article. But
    if you save the link after reading it (with intention of reading it again), then subsequently
    click on the saved link, then FT instead directs you to their subscription page.

    Why does a Wellington councillor want to charge homeless people to live in their cars?... coz she believes that someone is getting a free lunch, and that there should be no such thing. A cunt.

    Trump's peace plan? - Bring Palestine home - terror coming to a border near you?

    Will America/Mexico now become an extension of the Palestine situation? - Old magicians trick - look there while we do something else here?

    By deception do war? - or whatever else needs distraction away from it! - https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-...l-force-border - Whatever could go wrong with that?

    Warmer air means more water evaporation - so more clouds in the sky . these will in some places, block the sun and be cooler underneath - and more rain .. more rain - more floods - we can see that happening.

    It means more energy in the atmosphere - so higher wind speeds .. that's why the hurricanes crossing the Atlantic and slamming into the US are getting stronger ..

    That's why we are seeing more tornadoes on Godzone .. more energy and changes creating the conditions where they develop.

    To think that the planet is simply getting warmer is to misunderstand Climate Change and what will really happen.
