Russian ships docked at what was once a secret Norwegian naval base in the Arctic have prompted concern from the NATO country's former top military leaders, anxious about its resurgent eastern neighbour roaming nearby.
Norway's jagged Arctic coastline has regained its strategic importance since tensions between Russia and NATO members have spiked to levels not seen since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Skorgen and other critics say Norway has robbed itself of a crucial foothold in the far north, forcing its submarines to travel hundreds of extra miles from their bases to defend the region.
On top of that, three Russian ships have spent the winter docked deep within the mountain hideaway, once a closely guarded military facility.
Svalbard! Ho!
Well, the Norwegians were the ones who sold it to a private businessman publicly and online in a fire sale, and he turned around and rented it to the Russians. I’d say that that is capitalism in action!
If you’re looking for a unique home with tens of thousands of square feet, space for a submarine, and is mostly buried under a mountain, than the Royal Norwegian Navy has got a deal for you. After nearly 50 years in service, the nordic country is looking to sell off the Olavsvern naval base. Warm up your credit cards, because this underground sub base will cost you a cool $17.3 million.

Russian Green peace. what a joke. At least now we know who manipulates those “research” “green” vessels
Prepper Heaven!
Even in the photo you posted, Mitt looks so much more presidential than fubo ever did.
Didn’t like that Romney is a typical Massachusetts liberal — but he still would have been then times better for the USA than is Obama.
Russia protecting itself from NATO - the later of which, with the EU - re their AGENDA 21/NWO designs on annexing Russia, starting with the Crimea and Ukraine - with the help of DC...
Russia is against AGENDA 21/NWO - and for protecting Christians - and, although allowing gays to live their lives unmolested, will NOT allow them to teach their swill in schools, nor parade in the streets, nor adopt children, nor “marry”... Russia staunchly defends traditional marriage ONLY...is - and has been in the last few years - rebuilding thousands of it’s churches.
At this point, I’m more comfortable with Russia in charge of the base - protecting itself FROM NATO - than NATO (protecing itself)
rofl
NATO wants to annex Russia?? What a laugh riot.
Let us deal with reality, Russia is threatening and invading sovereign countries.
Agreed.
Have a Happy Holiday.

3 Russian ships wintered in Tromso, Norway?
I’d presume their crews are wondering which commissar they ticked off to draw that assignment.
OK, but will those Russian ships make a wedding cake for homosexuals?
"Is cold here, tovarisch."
"Da. Pass wodka. It will be nice to go home again to warm up."
"Da. Pass wodka. Where are you from?"
"Siberia."
Ha ha ha..protecting Christians...lol...the Russian Navy is gay! You should signup and get a whole new understanding of what mopping the poop deck means in the Russian Navy!
"Death to America!"
Nice touch!
Russia wants to recreate the Soviet Union. Putin is a neo-Communist with an image team and a makeover. And Moscow funds left wing and Communist movements throughout the world.
Putin is NOT our friend.
And NATO taking over Russia and China.... That is the most laughable thing I have heard.
