Yes! All EU countries should step up … or we will soon start sending our men, too. Are we waiting for what? Are we waiting to sacrifice Ukraine, paying little and then paying with our blood, too?
Many Norwegians have been screaming since 2014 at our politicians to wake up and see that the bear is on the move. We're all ashamed that #Norway isen't contributing more - much more!!!
But why isn't Norway contributing more? Which reasons do the politicians in charge give for not doing so?
It's not like Norwegian economy is in the gutters and Norway will go broke, if you help a lot more?
Is there a single good reason for not decisively helping Ukraine kick Putin out?
To be fair #Norway is contributing a lot compared to othercountries(NASAMS has really made some difference) but no country has profited more due to our increased gas export to Europe. Unfortunately Norwegian politicians are cowards when it comes to #Russia #Putin @jonasgahrstøre @ ernasolberg
As a Norwegian: Allowing this wealth to grow as we erode our security is shameful. Spend whatever it takes. Invest it even. Sell off our US equities and put it into European energy and defense industries.
