Why can't Norway provide it's own troops (and equipment) to patrol it's own country?

Obama is trying to his very last minute...to provoke a big war with Russia (for his master Soros)

and
Obama is STILL importing more and more IslamoNazi (terrorist aged) young men into USA, “from sea to shining sea”...

300 is a little more than a Marine Company. Just a blip on the screen but 300 Marines should be more than enough to protect Norway from Russian hordes.... :-)

We have had many exercises where the US Marines deployed to Norway for several months at a time during the Cold War. This is NOT new. It is just a training event that has not been done for the last decade or so. Norway is a part of NATO and this is a NATO exercise.

It’s more about our troops getting cold weather training & experience in mountain warefare. Sure, we could do it in Alaska or Colorado but Norway is NATO, so...

Let Norway protect themselves. Bring our troops home. Really true of all NATO countries.

...the first time since World War Two that foreign troops have been allowed to be stationed there...

Why now?

This is silly. I was in Norway with the Marines. It is common for Marines to be in Norway. I was there with two regiments, waaaay more than 300. We do a lot of training there and with them. Russia knows and I do not believe they care. They certainly watch us though.

Norway is a NATO member and because of its long coastline, ship sheltering fjords, and natural resources it is hugely strategic (always has been, hence it being the first real battleground between the Nazis and Britain in 1939-40). Of course we have forces there for training. With a population a bit smaller than the State of Minnesota they wouldn’t present much of a problem on their own for an enemy that wants near unlimited access to the North Atlantic.

Just providing training to the Coastal Ranger Command (Kystjegerkommandoen or KJK) of the Norwegian Navy. A amphibious infantry unit trained to operate in littoral combat theatres, as naval infantry and coastal artillery. There is also an SBS type naval commando unit, the Marinejegerkommandoen.

Is this true? I thought winter operation exercises in Norway were a yearly staple of training for the USMC.

The current administration is convinced that the Russians hacked the playoffs and got Green Bay past Dallas. Heads will roll...

Yes, because a Russian invasion of Norway is imminent. I’m surprised it hasn’t already started. We are run by lunatics. Lunatics with one goal, constant war so they can enrich their defense contractors, and have more reasons to regiment American society.
It’s all crap.

Norway is hosting our troops for training in an Arctic environment with their military which is far more experienced than our military is with extreme cold weather conditions. <— Per Mr. Megan, the retired Marine.

Because their Christian culture is long gone. They, along with Brussels, are where all the sodomites and child sex traffickers congregate and travel to Thailand, etc, for the little boys. They are too busy having parties and don’t care about the women and children since their protective natures are warped and they are predators of the weak and innocent.

Immoral cultures collapse.. Vice creates slaves only (Socrates).
