The U.S. Navy recently announced it had stood up a 150 bed field hospital in one of the most unusual places—a cave in an undisclosed location in Norway. The hospital is just the latest of Pentagon deployments to cave systems in Norway, including U.S. Marine Corps combat equipment and even nuclear-powered attack submarines. While the cave deployments are important to help defend Norway from its bigger Russian neighbor, it also provides a secure base for operating in the increasingly open Arctic region...
..While many of these bases were explicitly built to help defend Norway, the changing climate is giving them a secondary purpose: projecting power into the Arctic region. As temperatures worldwide slowly climb, ice in the arctic and antarctic regions is melting, uncovering previously untapped natural resources and, especially in the arctic, new trade routes between Europe, North America, and Asia. Both China and Russia are making their own plays for establishing a presence in the region, and Russia in particular is rejiggering its military and expanding existing bases to form a series of outposts across its northern frontier....

Our new green energy commitment is to take tax dollars from American citizens dinner table and supply the world with fairy tell electric power. Anybody but america biden.
Did you give her some good Norwegian wood?
Here's a novel idea...Norway should spend more on their own national defense, and less on social services.
The technological way to get there is by clean electric fjords; the obly problem is that they’re Oslo with no acceleration.
I was in Norway in 1979, with the Cold War still on our minds in the USA.
I asked an older Norwegian relative if they worried about the USSR being so close.
“Russia!!?? HA - never had any problem with them. Now the GERMANS.....”
So Brandon is okay with making investments in a vax denying country.
(and even nuclear-powered attack submarines)

Dr. Strangelove:
Well, that would not be necessary, Mr. President. It could easily be accomplished with a computer. And a computer could be set and programmed to accept factors from youth, health, sexual fertility, intelligence, and a cross-section of necessary skills. Of course, it would be absolutely vital that our top government and military men be included to foster and impart the required principles of leadership and tradition. Naturally, they would breed prodigiously, eh? There would be much time, and little to do. Ha, ha. But ah, with the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present Gross National Product within say, twenty years.
