I live in Norway, we have been one of the few NATO countries with borders to russia and would likely be hit by nukes from both sides if the shit hits the fan.
But personally I think there are enough people high up in the russian government that do not want to annihilate the world to save the face of one man to prevent something like that.
So while it is a concern I think that is an unlikely outcome.
- 323 5y agoNo offense, but there is not much to hit in Norway :) No reason to waste nukes there.
- Markoff 5y agogas facilities are pretty essential for rest of the Europe
- sgt101 5y agoI am pretty sure that NATO won't nuke Norway.
- TrackerFF 5y agoI'm also from Norway - I think the likely scenario, IF Russia decided to say "fuck it - let's invade more countries" (and force NATO to take the ultimate decision), they'd probably first and foremost take over, or secondly, bomb some of the strategic installations we have up in northern (East Finnmark) Norway - were they to get involved with us, directly. Intelligence gathering plays a huge role, and taking out those would probably harm the eyes and ears of Norway and NATO. IF Russia were to start firing ICBMs and similar, they'd at least want some element of surprise. I also recently read through a Masters thesis on this, from a Colonel at our military academy, and his take was that if Russia were to invade us, then the likely scenario would be to invade East-Finnmark by sea, air, and land. Take control over the military intelligence installations, as well as airports.
