Hang on there!!
Norway’s unemployment is at it’s highest in decades due to the oil crisis, created by over production in, among other places, USA.
BTW: Norway is also refusing to reduce it’s production, but it is falling from natural reasons.
The facts: Unemployment Rate in Norway averaged 3.58 percent from 1997 until 2017, reaching an all time high of 4.90 percent in July of 2016 and a record low of 2.30 percent in April of 2008.
In US the unemployment rate is at, or close to, it’s lowest and below it’s historical normal. 5% being regarded as “Full Employment”: https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/05/full-employment/528339/
If you want to make a fair comparison the Labour Participation Rate has to be taken into consideration as well. In Norway it is abt. 70% on average, while in USA it is 63% only.
You seams to confuse things a bit when it comes to NATO. It was established AFTER WWII, as much to benefit America in it’s fight against the Communist treat to “the American way of life” as to protect Europe from invasion by "the Soviet hordes."
As mentioned by Kraken, the only NATO member that has benefited from Article 5 so far is USA.
I hope that you understand that the BS about a Norwegian Super Aircraft carrier is only a part of the “feud” between Fraqrat (the self-styled “Ambassador to Norway”) and myself . Not to be taken serious. In fact, this entire thread is a lighthearted “Norwegian bashing” to get away from the SAD!! State of the World.
Why would Norway build an Aircraft carrier anyhow? The new fighter planes we are getting from USA at inflated prices couldn’t land on it and Norway has no ambition to rule the world by military means. (The Maritime World is within our reach by superior technology already)
