Norway just moved up on Russia's "countries to invade" list
- astrodust 2y agoThey'll have to fight their way through Finland which has a history of not working out for them.
- spinningarrow 2y agoNorway and Russia do share a border (albeit a small remote one).
- astrodust 2y agoBefore they could, theoretically, just roll past, but now Finland will be compelled to join due to Article 5. Not that they'd need much compelling.
- skrebbel 2y agoFinland and (Soviet) Russia fought two wars and Finland lost territory in both.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoAnd in both cases, Soviet Russia took less of Finland than they wanted to, because the losses were unacceptable to continue.
- lye 2y agoYou're thinking of another country that has a habit of invading or destabilizing countries rich in natural resources, especially when they don't do as they're told. Russia has more oil, gas and rare earths of its own than it knows what to do with.
- wumeow 2y agoSo does the US so surely you’re not referring to them.
- bauruine 2y agoNorway is a NATO member. One of the founding members even. I hope they are on the "Do NOT invade" list.
- veqz 2y agoStrangely enough Russia (and their predecessors) and Norway has never been at war. Ever. Not that the past is a predictor of the future, of course, and Putin is operating quite a few spies and saboteurs here too. But having both Sweden and Finland with us makes it rather unlikely they would get anywhere near the Fen area. :p
- Moldoteck 2y agoRussia did 'liberate' norway during ww2 and tried to drag it unde it's influence. It's not war per se but still
- adhamsalama 2y agoMore like just moved up the US' "countries to give freedom" list.
