In return, the Norwegian government angered liberals and some moderates in its parliament last November by passing the Supplementary Defense Cooperation Agreement (SDCA). Under the new deal, the U.S. legal system would have jurisdiction in certain “agreed areas” in the North over American soldiers accused of crimes off base, as well as over those Norwegian citizens accused or suspected of interfering with the work at the base.-->

Norway was one of the original signatories of the NATO Treaty in 1949, in the early days of the [[Cold War]]. Today, the supreme commander of NATO is Jens Stoltenberg, a committed anti-communist, who served as Norway’s [[prime minister]] for eight years before moving to his high NATO post, with American backing, in 2014. He was a hardliner on all things Putin and Russia who had cooperated with the American intelligence community since the [[Vietnam War]]. He has been trusted completely since. “He is the glove that fits the American hand,” a source directly familiar with the matter said.

Back in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]], planners knew they had to go to Norway. “They [[Russophobia|hated the Russians]], and the Norwegian navy was full of superb sailors and divers who had generations of experience in highly [[profit]]able deep-sea oil and gas exploration,” the source said. They also could be trusted to keep the mission secret. (The Norwegians may have had other interests as well. The destruction of [[Nord Stream]]—if the Americans could pull it off—would allow Norway to sell vastly more of its own [[natural gas]] to [[Europe]].)
