Cum se pregătește de război singura țară din NATO fără armată: „Cine deține Islanda ține pistolul îndreptat spre Anglia, SUA și Canada”
Iceland, the only NATO country without a standing army, is reassessing its defense policy amid rising threats from Russia and China. As NATO increases military presence on the island, discussions intensify about Iceland's self-defense capabilities and the potential establishment of its own armed forces. The urgency of this debate coincides with Iceland's upcoming vote on EU negotiations, with proponents suggesting closer ties could enhance security. Recent military exercises highlight the growing threats in the North Atlantic, prompting Iceland to adopt its first official defense policy. The country is also increasingly integrating civil institutions into defense roles, reflecting a shift in its security approach.
