Good. Trump can use the request as a wedge to get Norway to increase its military budget in line with what NATO wants. Trump can make it a tit for tat reward for Norway stepping up to its NATO obligations. A win win.
Agree with that 100%.
Yep. Norway is a rich country. They are a major oil exporter. They can start spending at least 2% of GDP on Defense if they have real security concerns. If they don’t have real security concerns as demonstrated by an unwillingness to meet their NATO obligations, they won’t be needing those marines.
Time for the Yurps to grow up.
