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.

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.

Let them train and equip their own Marines.

One minute you're whining that we spend too much on our military, and the next you're a proponent of spending more on our military so we can send troops to a country that won't spend the money themselves.

You're quite the whiny, confused little democrat, aren't you?

Harry has two basic rules:

1. Don't ever, ever say anything positive about a Republican, especially
if his name is Trump.

2. Don't ever, ever say anything negative or disparagingly about his
favorite socialist land across the sea ... Norway. He's just
very disappointed he doesn't qualify for immigration.

Maybe ... just maybe ... if he continues his anti-American rants
here in rec.boats a little longer he could try requesting asylum
instead of immigration.

I just looked up some current info (as of June, 2018).

Norway still spends less than 2% of it's GNP on defense despite
the agreement that NATO members contribute at least 2%. Norway
currently spends 1.5% on defense and that 1.5% is the
highest since becoming a NATO member.

Norway is a rich country. However it's argument is that although
wealthy, it has a sovereign wealth fund known as the Oil Fund set up
specifically to secure pensions for future generations of Norwegians
and not to be spent on their defense.

Socialism at it's finest.

Smart.

Sure, the liberal way. Use OPM. (Other People's Money)

That's why they should foot the bill, plus some, for any military help we contribute.
