English-Finnish translations for fortress

• linnoitus
  Tiedämme kaikki hyvin, että 21. vuosisadan avoimessa maailmassa Portugali-linnoitus, Saksa-linnoitus, Puola-linnoitus tai Eurooppa-linnoitus ei ole mahdollinen. We are all well aware that Fortress Portugal, Fortress Germany, Fortress Poland or Fortress Europe is not an option in the open world of the 21st century.
  Euroopalla on erityinen tehtävä, eikä vastauksena voi olla Euroopan linnoitus. Europe has a specific role to play and the answer is not 'Fortress Europe'.
  Hylkään kuitenkin myös Euroopan linnoitus -ajattelumallin. However, I equally reject the concept of a fortress Europe.
