US to Manage Norway’s Defenses

Blog/War Posted Nov 11, 2022 by Martin Armstrong Spread the love

A contact from Norway shared this article, as the topic has not been discussed in the US media. NATO is forming a world army, as we have seen with troops being sent throughout Europe to train forces, specifically Eastern European forces. The northern nation of Norway has announced that the US will begin to manage its defenses. Chief of Defense Eirik Kristoffersen predicts that Norway will be part of the area responsible for mobilizing a joint NATO command center. A final decision will be made during the first half of 2023. NATO currently has a command center in Bussum, Netherlands, which was activated in February as soon as the war began. Kristofferson said that the joint NATO venture is being led by the US Marines – first ones in, last ones out. Once Sweden and Finland become full NATO members, they will join the joint NATO army. Finland has stated that it wants to be under the control of US forces, which was one of their premises when they decided to join the alliance. The Nordic alliance remains strong, and Norway’s strategic placement will allow it to become the center of operations. With the powerful backing of the world’s most powerful military, NATO’s army will grow. They are preparing.

"US to Manage Norway’s Defenses"

I presume Congress will debate and vote on this, since it is Congress which makes "Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces"

No, it will not. My experience working with DOS on/off for years, tells me no. Just a voice in the wilderness who has seen US black Ops go unnoticed….from Saudi in 1984 to Colombia in 2006.

May God help us.

Hopefully not else Norway is fooked. I have no confidence in the ability of our upper military folks to plan a bake sale much less the defense of a whole country.

It looks like the proposed European Army will really be an American Army in Europe populated with Europeans... and the Muslims they let in to their several countries.

Frum and Kristol are grinning ear to ear.

If anything Democrats and the WEF HQ EU are planning on partnering with their America hating BFF Putin on a range of issues from Iran to “Climate change”. These hysterical rantings suggesting otherwise always make me chuckle. Those swallowing such nonsense as the above article can’t discern obvious facts staring them in the face.

Do Norwegian troops misuse pronouns? That’s the latest defense strategy our troops have been trained for.

FJB needs to buy Norway, declare it to be the 51 state and then use it as a deep freeze to store all the vacationers coming through the southern border until they’re needed when the draft is reestablished.

“There is no “NATO Army.”

You’re right, that’s what they are building now. But ponder this, if they can’t force a one world government, they can create a one world army. And then we can wonder when it will land on American soil because some third world countries are having problems then determine they need to attack us with our own people and weapons. So much for insurrection. I guess they can’t find someone to fight in WW III, so they create their own opponents.

This all is SOP for Nato going back to the 1950s. Units always trained in other countries if it made sense, a lot of them in the US for air units as there is way more unrestricted airspace. There was always a unified command structure. You can’t fight WWIII otherwise. Norway and its armed forces were always going to be in a theater command along with British, USN, RN, RAF, USAF, US Marines, to hold the northern front. There was prepositioned US and British equipment and facilities there.

The writer is historically naive.

The only differences now vs then is that the size and scope of the northern front has changed a lot, and there are many more Nato countries, two new ones just this year, thanks to Putin. He woke up a long dormant Nato.

A little humor for you:

“Hey, Yuri, did you hear we’re at war with NATO!”

“Astounding, Ivan, how are we doing?”

“We’ve lost 100,000 men, the storied 1st Guards Tank Army has been wiped out, more than 1,000 of out latest tanks are burned out hulks, we have to get old T62s out of storage to stay in the war, we’ve lost more generals in war than any nation ever, our flag ship is at the bottom of the Black Sea, we’re losing airbases hundreds of kilometers behind lines, land it took us 3 months to take was taken back from us in 3 days, our fleet has retreated from Sevastopol, and we can’t come within 300 kilometers of Ukraine’s coast without getting one of our few remaining warships blown up!”

“That’s terrible, Ivan! How is NATO doing?”

“Oh, they haven’t even started to fight.”

There was always a unified command in wartime, as well as peacetime close cooperation in re equipment (mandating common ammo say), connectivity, procedures, communications, logistics, you name it. When Nato went to war (never happened, but if it had), it certainly would have been, or would have tried very hard to be, a single Nato army.
