he German navy is helping Norway to protect critical maritime infrastructure such as oil rigs, undersea cables and pipelines, is ready to do the same off the Danish and Swedish coasts, its head said on Thursday.
Bordering Russia in the north, Norway is Europe's biggest producer of natural gas and oil and has an extremely long coast that is hard to protect. It operates an extensive network of pipelines that connect the country with Britain and Europe.
NATO has pledged to boost the protection of critical infrastructure after the ruptures in September in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, laid on the bed of the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.

They had best keep an eye on American and British assets. Just sayin’.

In Germany’s case, it’s their back yard.
Release the U-boats!
Because NATO exists to protect itself from Russia, contributing in material ways to Ukraine’s defense against the Russian invasion serves us.
I sale. NATO is not at war with Russia. Dumbass.
My statement stands on its own.
That didn’t make any sense, read my post again.
