Iceland government falls

[Magda Hassan]

Looks like all of Iceland is turning out to demand his resignation. He has said he is not going and has done nothing wrong.

This is interesting too. I expect that it has been arranged months ago but timing....

According to CNN, the F-15 fighter jets are part of several deployments of American fighters being sent to Europe in an effort to deter further Russian aggression in the region.
In February, the U.S. said it will send six F-15s to Finland as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which the United States initiated in 2014 to reassure NATO allies after Russian military intervention in Ukraine. These aircraft are scheduled to deploy next month.
Although it maintains a small coast guard force, Iceland is the only country in NATO that does not have a military.
The U.S. used to have an air base in Iceland during the Cold War when Iceland sat at a key strategic location in the middle of the Atlantic, but the base was closed in 2006.
