Poland fears war and prepares, Norway protects its gas

Poland fears war and is preparing, Wednesday, October 19. Across the country, up to one million young people between the ages of 14 and 16 are undergoing compulsory military training. The Kalashnikovs are certainly dummy, but the scenarios are very real. Here, few voices are raised against this practice, which existed in the country until 2012. With the Russian threat, adults also train to defend themselves. The Polish Civil Guard has never had so many volunteers.

In Norway, patrols around hydrocarbon platforms are increasing. Since the incidents on the NordStream pipelines, the Norwegian military has been on edge. During a mission, they are looking for unregistered boats. Since the end of Russian gas deliveries, Norway has become the leading European supplier. Finally, in Hungary, inflation is galloping. Prices rose by 20% and the national currency collapsed.
