Baltic Sea Will Become ‘NATO Basin’ After Nordic Nations’ Accession to Alliance, Polish Prez Says_我的网站

A |     西湖的荷花文化早已和这座城市紧紧相连。    The Baltic Sea will become an “internal basin” of the NATO bloc after Finland and Sweden join the alliance, with every country bordering the sea barring Russia and its exclave of Kaliningrad to be part of the alliance, Polish President Andrzej Duda has boasted.,“The Baltic sea is essentially poised to become NATO’s internal basin. Two very powerful nations with a long and strong military tradition will become part of NATO soon, extending the Russia-NATO border by 1,400 kilometers, which is no doubt bad news for Russian authorities,” Duda said during a meeting of Poland’s security council on Monday.,Expressing hope that Finland and Sweden are accepted quickly and that their membership is ratified by NATO’s 30 members, Duda stressed that there was “no need for an explanation on how important this decision is for us.”,Late last week, Russian deputy foreign minister Alexander Grushko called the push to incorporate the pair of Nordic countries into the Western alliance “one of the saddest episodes in the evolution” of Europe’s security architecture, and warned that Moscow will be forced to beef up its defenses to compensate for new threats.,“This will severely worsen the military situation in the Baltic Sea region, which, as a result of NATO’s expansion…would be turned into an arena if not of military confrontation, then completely unnecessary military rivalry,” Grushko said.,Russian President Vladimir Putin warned last Wednesday that although Moscow does not have the same type of “problems with Sweden and Finland” as it does with Ukraine, the two countries “should plainly and clearly realize that [while] there were no threats before, now, if military contingents and infrastructure are deployed there, [Russia] will have to respond in a mirror fashion.”,Mayor of Finland's Border Town Mulls Placing NATO Base Directly on Russia's Doorstep3 July, 12:48 GMT,Finland and Sweden completed accession talks at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Monday, with the bloc indicating in a statement that “both countries formally confirmed their willingness and ability to meet the political, legal and military obligations and commitments of NATO membership.” Allies are due to sign accession protocols on Tuesday, after which they will go out to all 30 member countries for ratification.,The pair of Nordic nations broke with generations of neutrality by announcing their bids for NATO membership this spring after Russia began its military operation in Ukraine. Until now, Sweden had maintained strict bloc neutrality since the 19th century, and has not taken part in any large-scale war in Europe since 1814. Finland became neutral at the start of the Cold War, and continued this policy for decades after 1991.,Swedish PM Refuses to Say if Stockholm Will Deport Kurds Wanted in Turkey as Part of NATO DealYesterday, 11:38 GMT,The countries’ neutrality did not prevent them from leaning in NATO’s direction after the collapse of the USSR and the Eastern bloc. They joined the Western alliance’s ‘Partnership for Peace’ program in 1994, and took part in the US-led occupation of Afghanistan, as well as 'peacekeeping' operations in the Serbian breakaway region of Kosovo after 1999. Both countries’ armies, navies and air forces also regularly take part in NATO-led military exercises in the region.,The planned incorporation of Finland and Sweden into NATO is the latest round of the bloc’s eastward push. Since 1990 and Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch east” promise to Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, the Western bloc has undergone three major waves of eastward expansion, swallowing up the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland in 1999, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and the Baltic states in 2004, and Albania, Croatia, Montenegro and North Macedonia between 2009 and 2020. After Finland and Sweden’s accession, there will be just nine countries in Europe, Russia included, that are not part of the US-led North Atlantic alliance.,German Lawmaker Reveals How NATO Fooled Gorbachev About Bloc’s Eastward Expansion Plans31 January 2020, 16:43 GMT。西湖荷花属于“花莲”品系，以观赏为主，所以莲蓬产量远远不及“子莲”，西湖水域管理处工作人员说，莲市期间，一般每天可以保证50~70份的莲蓬、荷叶。摘掉过密的荷叶，为的是给下层荷叶“让路”，让阳光透进去，促使新叶生长，同时减少腐烂荷叶对水质的污染。摘来的荷叶、莲蓬义卖给市民和游客，一举两得。

B | 西湖莲蓬、荷叶之所以会被杭州人追捧，一是因为现采的莲蓬，长在西湖里无公害，吃起来确实很嫩。二来，不少人只认西湖牌荷叶，这是一种西湖情结，而且叶子够大，拿回去晒干、剪碎，用来泡茶喝，或者做粉蒸肉、叫花鸡。

C | 西湖景区水域管理处水生植物养护班班长俞阳洋介绍，荷花是强光性植物，今年雨水比较多，受多个台风影响和连续强降雨，荷叶在潮湿环境下，部分叶面上可能有斑点，样子可能没那么完美。今年的西湖莲蓬、荷叶义卖，从8月13日开始，一直持续至8月下旬，每个工作日上午7点，柳浪闻莺微笑亭（柳浪闻莺公园内、钱王祠码头西南侧附近）准时发放当日号码牌，8点30分开始售卖，每份10元，每人限购一份，售完即止，请自备零钱（或支付宝付款）。

D | 逢双休日或者雨天停售。

E | 每一分义卖所得都将捐入慈善机构，去往需要它们的地方，温暖更多的人。提醒各位市民游客，义卖现场请有序排队，并配合工作人员维护现场秩序。
