Norway could become a battleground in the event of a war between Russia and the United States. This is the conclusion reached by a lecturer at the Norwegian Armed Forces Academy, Lieutenant Colonel Turmud Heyer, reports NRK.
According to him, the Americans are increasingly “mastering the Norwegian soil.” In particular, he pointed out, this is indicated by the forthcoming deployment of American strategic bombers B-1B Lancer at Erland.
Heyer believes that the main vector of Western policy should be focused not on containing Moscow, but on some measures to calm the situation. “It is in Norway’s interests to somehow balance the US in the west and Russia in the east,” he said, since an open armed conflict between the superpowers would be a catastrophic event for Oslo.
