‼️ Finland and Poland are both considering rewetting dried out peatbogs to form defence barriers against a potential Russian ground invasion. Restoring these natural carbon sinks could also bring significant environmental benefits. www.france24.com/en/europe/20... πŸ‘‡

Sad they want restore the valuable role of peatbogs in the environment for possible invasion by Russia. But if it gets funding & completed I'm sure they'll find added benefits, a win win! President Eisenhower funded the Interstate Highway System as needed in case of war. #ProudBlue #BlueEarth

Wonderful plan. Imagine the diversity of plants and animals that will find the peat-bogs home. I look forward to seeing the renewal of these areas… hopefully on PBS.

People are weird. But glad they’re restoring what nature makes, even if for strange reasons.

I'll take it! It's a damned shitty reason, and they should have been doing it anyway... I'll take it though!

I guess that's one way to get the Russians to take a hike – literally, through a soggy peat bog.

What year is this? Seems like an article that could have been written 100 years ago. Amazing to read that our NATO allies are defending themselves against Russian forces by restoring peatbogs.

Do folks get it yet? He's not just coming for Ukraine. Ukraine is just the foothold. Putin believes in dictatorship and world domination.

Very good idea. Spent some time driving through Wicklow’s mountain peat bogs in Ireland. Quite a natural wonder.

Remember Belgium in WW I? The flooded fields did slow the German advance.

Because the PEDO is on Russia’s side and they know it. Great idea! Restore the bogs!

This is about tanks. It's vital to have a multi pronged defence.

Drones can destroy and kill, but they cannot take and hold ground. Tanks can.
