Norway does not have a defense force that can assist all sites other than our own territory

From Norway Today:  Defense Minister Anne-Grete Strøm-Erichsen (Labor) told Swedish radio that it is uncertain whether Norway will help if Sweden is attacked because they are not members of NATO. . . .

[Strøm-Erichsen said] Norway does not have a defense force that can assist all sites other than our own territory. Sweden is our good neighbor, but we must also be very clear that we are a NATO member, and that is where we have our greatest defense alliance, who in a way we can count on if a crisis were to occur.   (photo: Morten Holm/Scanpix)   (via )
