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

What’s that got to do with anything?

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

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.

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.

Norway is a founding member of NATO and a strong supporter of it. It
trains and crosstrains with NATO forces from other countries, such as
the 'Mericans. Life just isn't as complicated as these ignorant righties
want it to be.

So they need 700 US Marines? They have a decent sized military. Why the US Marines unless they're
looking for a tripwire?

I think 700 recon marines could take Norway.

The Norwegians spend their resources on improving and sustaining the
lives of their fellow citizens. They have relatively small armed forces.

Don't doubt that a bit.
