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. |

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. |

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. |
