Can't Norway, Harry's model socialistic country, with one of the highest
living standards, rich with oil and free health care afford to train and
equip their own Marines?

Which is why they're asking for Trump's Marines?

Look at a map and read up on 20th Century history in that region.

When I look at the 20th century, Norway should be more worried about
the Germans getting frisky than the Russians.


Obviously, oblique references aren't your forte. I'm aware of Norway's
"history" with Germany, but the Germans seem to be tamed of invasion
aggressiveness. Norway shares a border with Russia, and Murmansk, the
Russian seaport, is close, and the Bear is hungry.

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'd be a tripwire, just like the division in South Korea.

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.
