The United States has confirmed plans to more double the number of troops based in Norway, a move Russia has already criticized as clearly unfriendly.
The Norwegian Defense Ministry on Wednesday said that the US had recently informed them that they would push forward with a plan to increase the number of US marines stationed in Norway from 300 to up to 700. [
]
When the plans were first floated in June, Russias embassy to Norway complained that they contravened assurances Norway gave the Soviet Union when it joined NATO in 1949 that no foreign combat troops would be stationed on its soil.
The stationing of US troops contravenes the Norwegian decision from 1949, the embassy said.

WOW !! No more insane, violent, Muzzies sneaking across the Mexican border into the USA !!
Let's celebrate this deployment as a big setback for Muzzie terrorists who were planning to sneak into the USA with two farts into a strong wind.

THANK YOU
I was just pondering if I would be over-reacting to put in that correction.

Tell Russia we need the Marines there in case we have to evacuate the U.S. embassy in Sweden.

Maybe Russia ought to find the Soviet Union and ask them to complain, since they were the ones the promise was supposedly made to.
