The Norwegian government has raised the alert level of Armed Forces because:

15.4.22: Russia warns of Baltic Nuclear Deployment if Sweden and Finland are admitted into NATO

5.5.22: : Russian jets breach Finnish airspace during NATO talks

17.5.22: Russia moves nuclear-capable missiles near the Finnish border

26.9.22: Nord Stream pipeline sabotage

4.10.22: Drone activity spotted near a gas field in the North Sea

The prospect of Norway, a NATO country, preparing for possible attacks is beyond shocking, especially if the attackers can be traced back to Putin's Russia. No one's going to benefit from this powderkeg going off.

It's better to be prepared and not need it, than to be unprepared and need it

Won't be an Armageddon. Nuclear war does not fit Putin's plans. It would prevent him from seeing the West grovel at the feet of Russia. Which is the only motivation of this war. He just thinks he's being clever trying to knock out the Norwegian oil capacity. As soon as he gets his nose bloodied he'll pull back in his lair to plot some equally "clever" new plan.

“The Norwegian government has raised the alert level of the Armed Forces to reinforce surveillance and prevention tasks in infrastructures and facilities considered key, as the Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Store, considers that the war in Ukraine makes it necessary to be "more vigilant".

The Prime Minister has clarified that there are no indications that Russia wants to involve Norway in the conflict in any way, but he sees the need to take extreme precautions and protect, for example, the energy supply networks to other parts of Europe, reports the NRK channel.

Norway has become the main European supplier of natural gas following the measures taken in recent months on Russia. The continental gas network was already subject to serious sabotage in September by a series of explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

Norwegian security forces have in recent hours arrested several Russian citizens for flying drones and, with the new plan, the Armed Forces are expected to put aside part of their maneuvers and training to concentrate on other activities theoretically more indispensable in the short term, such as maritime surveillance.

"The growing tension makes us more exposed to threats," acknowledged the Prime Minister, who defended the need for "all NATO countries" to be "more vigilant".”

WW3, except on one side is all of the EU and most of North America, and on one side it's just Russia. China and India would be staying far away from the conflict.

Of the North American countries who are able to participate, all will.

No disrespect to Mexico or anything, but Canada already has thousands of troops in the area, and America is.... well prepared.

Gosh i hope not...wish Putin would just take the loss already and they can start focusing rebuilding Russia from the inside instead... What these politicians need to learn is to adapt towards the future for the betterment of the entire world because with global warming etc... We might not have a livable planet for humans hundreds of years from now...

And also Never look back in the past... You can't bring an Empire back... People will always look to freedom and people are willing to die for it. So conquests for more land are impossible now and hope China realize this as well...
