Norway to send 60 troops to train Syrian fighters

again another country moves their troops into Syria without Syrian approval. Norway will send some 60 troops, including special forces soldiers, to train, advise and give operational support to Syrian fighters battling Islamic State militants, the country's prime minister said on Monday.

The troops will be based in Jordan. The Norwegian Parliament will need to be consulted if the troops are to operate within Syria, Prime Minister Erna Solberg said.

Norway had previously sent 120 soldiers to Iraq to help to train Iraqi and Kurdish forces fighting Islamic State in northern Iraq. Those troops are still in Iraq.

Norway's decision comes a week after the United States announced its biggest expansion of U.S. ground troops in Syria since its civil war began.

The U.S. military has led an air campaign against Islamic State since 2014 in Iraq and Syria, but its effectiveness in Syria has been limited by a lack of allies on the ground, in a country where a multi-sided civil war has raged for five years.

Train them to do what?

Better rape Norwegian women when they “migrate” up there?

"What could go WRONG?"

Unfortunately, that play is Ohio State's most memorable contribution to the NFL.

Well, I worshipped the Purple People Eaters when I was a kid.

But they all broke my heart just too many times.

Ive seen Norway’s military up close...at the very best they are just taking up oxygen. Worthless by any measure.

“Worthless by any measure...”
Which is exactly what is intended. It’s just window-dressing - PR - to show the sheeple they are “doing something.” In the meantime, let the “refugees” into the home country, cover up their crimes - the purpose for which is best known to the elites, but not to anyone else.
