Sweden, Norway, and Finland should join NATO if they fear the aggressiveness of Russia, or die cold for such isolationism.

Norway is part of NATO. We do an exercise with them every year called Battle Griffin. When I was in the purpose was to simulate repulsing an attack on Norway from the old Soviet Union. The Norwegian military is very different from ours. Small in active duty forces but it seemed everyone is a private in the reserves. There are still lots of old German Fortifications that the Norwegians use.

Late-breaking news - Norway joins NATO - in 1949.
