US sends F-15 fighter jets to Iceland and Netherlands following Rooshun military drills
2016-04-04
"While NATO has maintained air control over Iceland since 2008, their defenses have been unable to stop Russia from reportedly making air incursions into Icelandic airspace.

In the case of Finland, the country remains a 'neutral', although it has edged closer to the NATO defence alliance in recent years, alarming Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Between 70 and 100 members of the Oregon Air National Guard will spent two weeks undertaking the exercises, which could yet include Norway and Sweden, Yle.fi reported.
Mika Varvikko, an official at the Finnish Department of Defence, said: 'Co-operation with the U.S. is close and our co-operation on a practical level has been and will continue to remain tight.'

Tensions with Russia have grown in recent years following Putin's aggressive power plays in eastern Europe and the Middle East.

#5  Yah, well their daughters are hot. So, brace yourselves Icelanders. You have 150,000 daughters, we have 150,000,000 horny dudes. If even one in a thousand is good enough, Iceland will be overcome by our manly prowess.

#4  Besoeker,

I was never stationed there myself, but IIRC the only restrictions were a mandatory curfew - the Icelanders wanted NO American men going after their daughters. (In fairness, the Icelanders don't really like anybody but themselves.)

#2  I'd be interested to know what restrictions Iceland may have placed upon U.S. personnel being assigned there. There was a time many years ago when certain personnel were not permitted to leave the air base.

#1  Iff Anti-US US OWG Globalists intend for the US under OWG NAU to give up 1/2 of the Atlantic, + 1/2 of the Pacific on the other side of the world, then ICELAND + GREENLAND will become that much more important to US National-Global Security.

Presuming of course, that the Hard Boyz don't first conquer the EU = Europe in the interim.

Should've followed my advice since the 1990's to send in the USMC + AirBorne to same instead of waiting for Euro Cities to become the targets of hard terror.

ALWAYS TRUST MADONNA!
