DISINFO: Trident Juncture: Norway's obedience puts an end to country's existence

SUMMARY

[Context: NATO military exercise Trident Juncture 2018] Norway’s obedience [to the US] puts an end to country’s existence.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about the European countries controlled by the US. Norway is an independent, sovereign country. Trident Juncture 2018 was a large NATO exercise held in Norway with around 50,000 participants from 30 NATO and partner countries. Norway offered to host Trident Juncture 18, and NATO accepted the offer more than four years ago. forsvaret.no/en/exercise-and-operations/exercises/nato-exercise-2018, For background on NATO-Russia relations see here.
