Russia Wouldn't Dare Start a War Against Norway - Here's Why
David Axe, The National Interest - 5 hours ago
*David Axe* *Security, Europe* Oslo has a decent military and knows that Russia is a threat. Are its efforts to deter Moscow enough? *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Oslo in recent years has spent around $7 billion annually on its 23,000-person military. Norway’s got a new military strategy. To deter and, in the event of war, defeat Russian forces, Oslo is bolstering its northern garrison and investing in submarines, stealth fighters and surface-to-air missiles. But the Norwegian government doesn’t plan to replace a navy frigate that ran aground and sank in 2018. That decis...

*"The Narrative Void"* by The Zman “Humankind cannot bear very much reality” is a line from a T.S. Eliot poem that has always been popular on the Right. While the Left does not have a monopoly on utopian thinking, it has never embraced realism. The Right, on the other hand, has always had an element that accepts the reality of the human condition. Not everyone on the Right or even a majority. One reality of the human condition is that most people, even the sober minded, prefer the escapism of fantasy to reality.
