#Nitrocellulose, also known as guncotton, is a key ingredient in gunpowder manufacture.

"Would you know it, deliveries of this cotton from #China stopped as if by chance a few months ago"

#Nordic countries have found a substitute for the #Chinese cotton... innovation is at work, precisely to meet the need for powder, because... we have problems today with powder capacity".

"#Russia has now transformed to a wartime economy. #Nordic and #Baltic countries closest to Russia have got the message and are preparing."

An excellent article from Minna Ålander on how the Nordic and Baltic countries are preparing.

This should be happening everywhere in the #West.

The "nationalist" True Finns' Party will be included in #Finland's next coalition government. This signals a closer alignment of Finland with #NATO; the #TrueFinns are known for their anti-Russian stance and are the only party in Finland which openly advocates for the return of Eastern àKarelia, #Vyborg (Viipuri) and #Pechenga (Petsämö) - previously Finnish territories annexed by the #SovietUnion in 1940.

There goes about #Nordic Country deep into a #fascist route in the shadow of popular #Russia phobia everyone is OK with. This is the new red scare that build up the #Nazi party in the 1930s, #Communism is replaced with #Greens, #Liberals, #Socialists, #Liberals and Russians. #Jews have been replaced with #Muslims and the #Natioanlists are getting their feet into every government in #Europe.
