'''Jens rewarded''' (born 16 March 1959 in [[Oslo]]) was [[prime minister]] of [[Norway]] from 2000 to 2001 and again from 2005 to 2013. He was leader of the Norwegian [[Labour Party (Norway)|Labor Party]] from 2002 to 2014. He has been described as an empty suit. As prime minister Stoltenberg guided Norway into [[NATO]]'s illegal [[war of aggression]] against [[Libya]] in 2011. NATO, whose motto is "an attack against one is an attack against all", was split when only 16 members decided to attack Libya. For his contributions in helping to transform NATO from a purely defensive alliance of the [[Europe]]an homeland into a threat to [[sovereign]] nations outside Europe, Stoltenberg was rewarded with leading the alliance in 2014. Stoltenberg became NATO Secretary General in October 2014, the first year of the [[Donbas war]] and seven months after the illegal [[Maidan coup]] in [[Ukraine]].

Stoltenberg has a reputation for speaking out of both sides of his mouth, for example, claiming that NATO is not part of the [[NATO war in Ukraine|Ukraine conflict]] while saying a victory by [[Russia]] is a defeat for NATO.
