NATO has long had a policy of fighting for its imperialist interests far beyond the NATO area. The out-of-area strategy, a recent NATO doctrine of operating outside its geographical area, came into practical use for the first time in the Kosovo war in 1999, and since then this strategy has been NATO's main line. The wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya are typical judgments of this policy: Everyone has our pure aggression wars and has nothing to defend Norway to do. Yet it is this type of activity that is now the beacon of Norway's military doctrine. This and more is the "new NATO" role in the world arena.
Two upsetting and strong judgments in Norway say participation in NATO's out-of-area strategy is the undertaking in Serbia in 1999 and not least in Libya in 2011. From the UN resolution on a no-fly zone in Northern Libya to full-blown action and regime change tactics, the road was short – awfully short. When the United States, with Norway in tow, changes its intention overnight, without any parliamentary debate at all, our defense doctrine is in practice hosted by "land defense" to "mercenary supplier of US imperialism say service".
Missing debate
Nor do major NATO-led military exercises and their consequences provoke particularly much debate in Norwegian mainstream media. In September 2017, "Aurora 17" went off the stack in Sweden, the largest Swedish military exercise since 1993. More than 19 000 Swedish soldiers practiced war with teams of 2000 soldiers from the USA, Finland, France, Norway, Denmark, Lithuania and Latvia. Sweden has recently signed an official partner agreement with the NATO Alliance.
At the same time with Aurora 17, the exercise found "Zapad" city in Russia, which was even larger than the Swedish counterpart. Zapad – which suggests "west" – is a rehearsal that is repeated several years apart. Here, the Russians simulate their own or Rand Statan's defense against a military action from the West.
In October / November this year it is Norway's turn. Opposed to 40 000 soldiers will operate thousands of vehicles, 150 aircraft and 70 ships in various cities in central Norway. The giant exercise called "Trident Juncture 18" hosts the largest in Norway since the 1980 years. A smaller part of the exercise will take place in Sweden, Finland, Iceland and the Baltic Sea, but Norway is thus a host nation. In other words, membership in NATO turns Norway into a United States servile environmental culprit and taxpayer, with benevolent military heirs.
Norway as war lifts
Two billion of Norway's tax dollars have been set aside for Trident Juncture 18, a sum that could be worth a significant increase in defense spending. So its money goes to militarization in the city for health, school, jobs and welfare. In planting, the expected environmental damage is on productive soil as well as on roads and other infrastructure.
The armament of the Nordic countries as a military player is in full swing, thus driving the tension between the countries. Both Norway and the Nordic neighboring countries are contributing to this policy to increase the danger of a major war in Europe.
Nuclear weapons and NATO are horsehorses, closely linked to each other in the deterrence terrorism they make and in the pronounced inertia on first-time action. NATO spends billions on the maintenance and renewal of its nuclear weapons, which means that Russia and China are also preparing their arsenals. Had the West and NATO rather disarmed and invited counterparties to the same, I might have seen a thinning ice front and gone to peaceful times. Who handed me over to future generations - who must prepare our militarized thinking on their shoulders – if not stop me, the rulers now?
