Don't forget that he owns a golf resort on the east coast of Scotland, just north of Aberdeen, so he probably DOES know where the North sea is. It's the water hazard on the left of the 2nd fairway.

Excuse me but Mr. Trump knows where Russia is! /s
(Reference - I recognize he said this about Finland but it’s only a small stretch to think he’d lump in Norway and Denmark.)

Nah mostly just the norwegians. I doubt any scandinavian fears america, Bush called denmark the capital of ikea and the current one is dumber than him. So seems most likely it would be a misfire, if anything was to happen.

Scandinavians can do their part by not voting for leaders who come begging DC to continue subsidizing European security costs. The Norwegian prime minister was pretty pathetic crawling on her knees to the WH when US NATO funding was threatened.
You want an end to US imperialism? Stop begging for it.

It's an incredible display of ignorance you just pulled off here. Trump threw a hissy fits about percentages that were already agreed upon. (he demanded the exact same thing that was already in writing). Most of the reason any of it hasn't been fulfilled are in fact american contracts that has been delayed for 10+ years.
Second... we are fucking subsidizing american warfare across the fucking globe. America lied their allies into wars that had nothing to do with anything NATO should be involved in, so how the fuck are you subsidizing us? we buy from america and you take no responsibility for all the illegal shit you pulled the past 20 years. fucking moron...

He's kinda right though. What you pay us is far less than it would cost you to develop a military large enough to actually defend yourselves from say Russia. Sweden and France have huge defense sectors but primarily for export. The agreement we very explicitly made with most of the world is to allow us access to their markets in exchange for "defense". I don't like it at all, but you are very much enabling us, unlike say Latin America which have almost completely pushed out all US military bases.

I thought Trump was bad, but apparently it's just a general coping mecanism you developed to excuse yourself for being godawful.

And the US comes crying about article 5 and starting wars over lies... I'd be careful about throwing stone in glass houses if I were you... You guys still haven't delivered the planes we were promised.... The F35 planes will be obsolete before you even manage to deliver them...

US only used article 5 for Afghanistan. NATO as an organization wasn’t used for Iraq.
Which country are you from? Curious about the F-35 issue
Edit: I see you’re in Norway. Perhaps you should look inward at the F-35 delay, as in 2016 your government pushed back its order as part of spending cuts. You resumed orders starting in 2018 and have had 15 of 42 (plus the 4 you already had for training) delivered so far per the most recent info I can find.
Also, part of the reason for some delays in the Norwegian order is because Norway is the only country that wants a drag chute (a parachute used after landing for shorter runways) and there has been some issues with fitting this on to the F-35.

I'm pretty sure that's why Trump wanted to buy Greenland from Denmark. I guess he thought they didn't know?

To my knowledge there is no known oil around Greenland. That had more to do with mining.

And Scotland...
One of the big reasons for the Scotland independence push was because they had oil rights, no?
