Thank you for your service.
not sure this link describes a necessary or smart idea.... https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/us-to-manage-norways-defenses/
Nothing done at of now. Extremely strong opposition from SOF commands/communities in the Nordics as well (everyone wants out of NATO at this point).
In its formative years, the United States of America were forced to
make jizya payments amounting to 16 percent of the federal budget to
Algeria for the release of captured American sailors. The USA's first
war as a nation was a war against Islam. Over a period of thirty-two
years, the US navy fought an intermittent war to put an end to the
Barbary attacks on American shipping. That is what is referred to by
the "shores of Tripoli" in the Marine Corps hymn. The establishment of
the US Marines was necessary in order to project power inland and end
the pirate threat for good. Ultimately however, the final end of the
Barbary terror would not come until the North African states became
French colonies.
mmm...interesting situation...thx for the perspective
