UPPSALA, Sweden --

 As geopolitical tensions rise in many parts of the world, Swedish Armed Forces have six JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets deployed in Iceland.

This marks a significant milestone. It’s the first time Sweden leads air policing duties in the highly strategic territory since joining NATO in 2024. It’s also an occasion for the Swedes to show off their fighter jets to Canada, and how they fit into NATO operations.

This comes at a crucial time. Aside from keeping a close eye to the conflict in the Middle East, NATO recently activated “Arctic Sentry,” a surveillance and military operation boosting security in the Arctic and the high north. This, just weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump’s made demands to acquire Greenland.

Denmark is also providing four F-35 fighter jets to the mission.

My not-so-popular ‘Blazon’ has finally moved into five viewing figures and it is time to evaluate the situation.

Starting from the beginning of time, politics seems to dominate, although not deliberately, and the most popular Post dealt with using a percentage to develop fair salaries (Percentage Formula - August, 2013).  I have temporarily removed this article in an attempt to allow other articles to surface into view.  This places Travel 5 - South East Asia (Bangladesh) of August, 2012, into a more suitable position.

Statistics

Google Chrome has been, by far, the most popular Browser at 40% overall the whole period and, today, increasing to 81% for the month.

Microsoft Windows OS, originally, had a slight lead over Apple Macintosh OS by 47% and 36% respectively, but this lead has been definitely eroded over the years to 22% (Windows) and 67% (Macintosh).

Naturally, Canada and the USA have produced predominant viewers with Russia following closely (My personal letter to Mr. Putin may have had an affect.  Ha!).  Interestingly, many other countries have shown interest, notably;  China (of course). Australia, Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Brazil, and Sweden (Surprisingly, countries in the Middle East were not represented).  

It is hard to imagine six viewing figures, therefore a change of direction may be required (To quote Lao-tse) but that is probably in another life.
