You do know that Norway's population is just over 5 million people.
I'm Sure they to the best they can with that limitation.


You're '...Sure to...' that?

One would think so. But maybe they're just scared.

Surely out of five million they could come up with a few good
men....and women.

Or we can be mercenaries and rent soldiers to them at a big profit.

..........

Some countries still use mercinaries. Looks like they’re still up for it.


They are there for training purposes. Do you actually think 350 or 700
US Marines could hold off the Russians?

They have about as good a chance as 50,000 army guys have in holding
off North Korea. It is just a trip wire when you have troops like
that. It would just be a speed bump in a real invasion but would incur
the full wrath of the US.

Did you read the article? The 300 or so Marines were there for six
months on a NATO training exercise. Now Norway wants to more than
double the number to 700, make the deployment a five year gig
and locate them near the Russian border.

And you think 700 U.S. troops near the border will stop the Russians
from invading if they so desire? They don't have to do that, what with
the way Trump is ****ting on the Western alliance, crapping on NATO, and
dumping on our long-time allies, all the Russians have to do is sit
around and wait, and, from their perspective, watch Trump weaken the West.

1. Who said the Marines are there to hold off a Russian invasion?

The point (and my question) was ... if Norway feels the need to have
700 Marines permanently located near the Russian border, why do they
have to be US Marines? Norway can certainly train and equip their
own forces.

2. This question has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. It seems
you just can't help yourself in taking any opportunity to
bring him up in any discussion. Next you'll be telling Tim
he won't be able to fix up or upgrade his pontoon boat because
Canadian aluminum will be too expensive due to Trump.

It's called crosstraining. As for Tim's aluminum pontoon boat, well, the
aluminum might fetch 20 cents a pound.
