Finland wants to build a bridge across the Baltic Sea to Sweden for better connections to Europe.

Finland’s connections to Europe could be given a boost thanks to a new fixed link across the Baltic Sea with neighbours Sweden and Estonia.

A new report recommends building either a bridge or tunnel between Sweden and Finland amid growing geopolitical tensions and the EU’s plans to connect the continent.

Acc/to NATO’s most recent stats, last year 23 #NATO members’ #defense spending exceeded 2% of their GDP. 5 of those nations — #Estonia, #Greece, #Latvia, #Poland & the #US — spent >3%. Poland had the highest percentage, dedicating 4.12% of its GDP to defense.

The potential shift in how the US participates in NATO comes as #Trump is pushing European #allies to do more to #aid #Ukraine in its #war w/ #Russia & to play a major role in maintaining #peace if a deal to end the war is reached.

Forests, paths, signs—nature is like a screensaver for the human mind. And as much as I love listening to music, nothing beats ditching my earphones for a hike and listening to the crunch of the snow beneath my feet. It gives me the same childlike happiness it gave me when I was a kid. Touching good, snowball quality snow still makes me giggle. I simply can't get enough of winter in Estonia.
