The great thing is that this money doesn’t have to be found in other budgets or by raising taxes or anything. It’s quite literally fuck-you-money and can be spend as such.
Of course it’s a shame to have to dig into the fund to cover for a war that should never have been started in the first place, but it’d be a lot worse in ten years to have sat on the money if Russia isn’t stopped and knowing that it could have been used for that.
I hope they manage to find enough European manufacturers ready to take orders.
It’s existential for Norway in a lot of ways. They border Russia and if Russia is allowed to get away with grabbing a chunk of Ukraine, they could be next.
