Wait, how much?
To give 100 billion to Ukraine sounds like a good plan for Norway at this time. It’s their money though.
Norway is uniquely positioned to cut a deal with its massive budget surplus for financial and military assistance in exchange for repayment into their sovereign wealth fund from ukrainian mineral exploitation and investment into Ukrainian industries. Or even just invest the SWF more directly. The reality is it doesnt take much for Europe to be able to pick up the slack. A $10-20 billion order (keep in mind that can be spread over several years, $3-5 billion/yr basically is nothing in the context of the $70 billion surplus norway had last year) of Leopard 2s would allow KWM/KNDS to scale production to 300-600 tanks per year, per their CEO, for example. Likewise while Europe has scaled up ammo production, the factories in many cases still are not operating at maximum capacity because orders have not been large enough to justify the investment needed to move into full rate production.
Norway literally shares border with Russia, so strengthening its own defense is essential, but they can also profit massively off of bankrolling Europes collective defense (which further strengthens Norways defense) while the rest of Europe figures their shit out.
Maybe Europe should just steamroll Russia. Russia can’t even make ground in Ukraine at this point so a huge influx of soldiers and weapons Europe could easily march through Russia with a massive force. I get WWIII and all but damn people it’s already started and everyone is still waiting to see if maybe it will just go away, it won’t.
As a Norwegian I’m both baffled and pissed that the money isn’t already on the table.
It’s mad how other places can pay towards a war, or give hardware, and somehow not be considered directly involved in it by either side. At least not overtly anyway.
It’s my belief that if you’re in for a penny, you’re in for a pound, and Ukraine should be supported directly.
It’s not just their war. It’s a war against imperialism, dictatorship and it’s resulting poisonous culture. That is every democratic country’s responsibility!
European leaders, please please please pledge to pay Norway back for their generosity and let’s unlock a century of strong defence of our entire continent.
Combined European forces could kick Russia out of Ukraine in a heart beat, they are already losing ground that they took, Russian outlook is poor at the moment.
While the USA is run by a possible Russian asset, it would be the best way
We won’t have a Norway as we know it for my kids to one day have kids in themselves if we don’t step up. Everyone needs to do this, but we’ve made a pretty penny extra that should be funneled right back into supporting Ukraine, massively increases and subsidize military rnd and our own military capabilities.
