SETERMOEN/KIRKENES, Norway - Under a soft winter sun in northern Norway, U.S. Marines train in the ice and snow as they learn how to fight in the freezing cold.

A few hundred kilometers from Setermoen, Russia is modernizing its forces on the Kola Peninsula, home to its Northern Fleet. Russia has also carried out maneuvers in recent weeks, staging a major submarine exercise in the North Atlantic, according to intelligence sources cited by Norwegian media. Residents can cross the nearby border quickly with a visa-free permit. Many go to the nearby Russian town of Nikel to buy petrol because it is much cheaper there, and street signs use both the Cyrillic and Latin scripts.

Nikolai Chagin, a mechanic from the Russian town of Severodvinsk, has worked at the shipyard in Kirkenes since 2006. He said he would not welcome more tanks on the border though he saw Norway’s NATO membership as “a guarantee that I can do my job.”

Obviously Trump is unaware or he would have pulled them out so as not to provoke his Motherland, Russia.

No need, Trump will ask them to protect Russia's borders.

SICK

I love the phrase “freezing cold” as opposing to “boiling cold.”

LOL. The outer border of Schengen ? Standing with armed soldiers without any real threat from Russia YOU SHOULD BETTER STAY IN THE SOUTH OF SCHENGEN where criminals, Is, Story-Fakers, smugglers and terrorists are entering Eu today without any problem ! NATO EU_Commission

It would be the best that US and Russia join forces to keep the world in peace. The Media makes the world a mess........
