Why is the Pentagon stuffing caves in Norway full of tanks?

Easily answered. If you study the tank battles of WWII there is one answer. Russians.

These military storehouses have all the equipment a Marine Expeditionary Brigade needs to get up and running , The Pentagon sent tanks, armored vehicles, and containers full of other military gear to caves in Norway. It's all for the U.S. Marine Corps, which wants to update and expand its Scandinavian stockpile.

The Corps has stashed weapons and equipment in the Norwegian countryside since the 1980s. With this setup, Marines can fly in and be ready for a fight in no time.

In addition, the Pentagon saves money by not having to keep a large force in Norway year-round. Washington already spends billions each year running huge bases across Europe.

But in the past, Marines rushing toward the sound of gunfire might have lacked firepower. Five years ago, Humvees with machine guns and missiles were the only combat vehicles in Norwegian storage, according to tables in an official Marine Corps handbook.

In August, the military added M-1A1 Abrams tanks and a number of Assault Breacher Vehicles to the bunkers. The latter are heavily armored tracks designed to blow up minefields and push through other obstacles.

The Pentagon also added M-88 tank retrievers, amphibious assault vehicles, up-armored Humvees, and various upgraded trucks to the cache. The Corps was expected to finish moving the new materiel under the mountains by the end of the month.

I think USA should just stay out of Europe..

No seriously, as long as USA doesn't give Germans a peace treaty [after 70 years, hello?] it's clear that they are just just trying to consolidate their own Empire...

Well, as a neutral human being I say "FUCK all EMPIRES!"

Russians you say.

We need no armor.

Bring it!

The Russians and Chinese are saviors?
Russians killed 60 million Europeans and the Chinese killed between 60 and 100 million orientals.
I'd say real saviors don't leave such a high body count or their own.
They would have killed more of others but they werent available

There is no Swedes vs. Muslimes..

Thats just hogwash...

It's TPTB against all of us...

It's the international NAZIS against the rest of us!

These bull-shit numbers do not constitute a reasonable argument.

Stalin killed 300 000 over 25 years, too bad you failed to mention Hitler and all the Western colonialists, but I guess that does not suit your agenda.
