Agree. Some say Russia is the only neighbouring country Norway hasn't been at war with, although I cannot think of a time when we ever fought against the Finnish either.
That said, no reason not to be careful after what has happened in Ukraine etc we should of course be careful: Russia can wipe out half of Norway just by turning around while they sleep.
- geoka9 10y agoYou guys were lucky Russia didn't roll over Finland in 1939. You'd probably be next in line, right after Sweden.
- reitanqild 10y agoMaybe yes. That's why we try to be friends and we continue to be part of NATO
- digi_owl 10y agoAnd now apparently there will be some 300 US Marines stationed on Norwegian soil. Something that didn't happen even at the height of the cold war...
- digi_owl 10y agoFrankly i think that oversimplifies what happened in Ukraine. The civil war may or may not have been part of the plan, but the primary Russian goal was to secure their supply route to the Black Sea naval port. A port that Ukraine had been happily leasing to the Russians since the dismantling of the USSR. There are no such reason for Russia to enter Norway. They already have Murmansk as a naval port, and they export way more oil and natural gas than Norway.
