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? |

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. |

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. |
