🔎 Who needs NATO? Northern Europe trying to play it solo

Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway are joining forces to create a regional security bloc, offering an alternative to NATO by combining their military resources, according to the WSJ.

🇳🇴 Norway: Maritime surveillance and Arctic combat capabilities

🇫🇮 Finland: The largest standing army and artillery in Europe

Matti Pesu, senior research fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, points out that this Nordic bloc could serve as a model for other countries. "It’s a potential plan B if NATO doesn’t work," he adds, referencing US President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw from NATO.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court, comes after the administration demanded the university submit to sweeping oversight measures — including audits for professor plagiarism, mandatory reporting on international students accused of misconduct, and enforced “viewpoint diversity” in academic departments, The New York Times reported.

💬 “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights,” said Harvard President Alan Garber, accusing the government of attempting to exert “unprecedented and improper control.”
