Norway Gets US Marines

Wow, Norway has apparently opened up its borders to US Marines for winter training.  There is nobody better at it than Norway, so the Marines will learn a lot of valuable skills.  Before people panic over US Marines being so close to Russia, there is a reminder in this story from Reuters that there will only be 300 people involved.  They could not hold very much territory, but remember that Norway is a long-time member of NATO so they will have help, not that I'm sure they would need to ask for it.  Norway has a good military and can fight their own battles pretty well.
