- Norway and the United States have long been close allies and NATO partners, but a growing crisis between Washington and Moscow is testing that relationship.
As NATO puts its forces on alert for potential trouble in Eastern Europe, Norway is also having to ready its armed forces.
With thousands of Russian troops amassed at Ukraine’s eastern border, are the parts heading into a full-scale war?
The Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Store, talks to Al Jazeera.
Incredible! What an interview. The Norwegian PM deserves a salute. Norway as a country also deserves huge applauds for its efforts to make this complex world a better place.
@@admiral20055 just another right - rightwinger (Norwegian talebans.- adoring the terrorist that everybody hates). Total panic when seeding this intervju & many positiv reactions)
Now you can crawl back to your hole - the dark eccocambers wher you can find your "friends"
Jon Jensen, theese are also the people that made the oilfound etc.. No political parti is perfect but i think norway never could be seen as a country that are for war ever, with our 5.5million ppl its not an option and Russia is also our neighbor. Hopefully there is a solution that works for both ukraine and russia..
Most Norwegians are gay and he would be more than happy to get a BJ from you!
All of norway hates him, he only thinks about what he can do to get a job in nato or un. Right now 1 of 4 norwegian live under the poverty line. All of the world think that every norwegian has money and food. This is not true!!!
I myself tend to be cynical about the state of the world. This interview made me feel that I shouldn't be. I sometimes felt political correctness of Norwegian people was too much -- but with such a leader as him, I have a renewed idea about the country!
The world should take note of Norway’s well balanced view on conflict prevention ..!
Jon Jensen, if thats true then why dont we send anything to ukraine now, norway is run quite good, our oilfond pays the entire state budget in just the returns from investments. As far as things Nato has been part all Nato country have some role in. You seem like a bitter old guy. But get things right atleast 👌
I adore this prime minister he will do his best even if he will risk his life again and again to let the other country settle and unite without using wars or weapons😊
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Roy from happy camp California and you where are you from ?
If only all world leaders were as proactive, intelligent and wise as this prime minister of Norway - why can humanity not realise that only moving forward to create a higher standard of living makes us all winners. It is amazing how people are blinded by there beliefs and attachments!
@@RobertsDigital at 13.30 has the PM said getting the major players to sit down to use diplomacy to resolve issues and finding solutions. War is no longer a solution if humanity wants to survive now. Getting the Taliban to sit down even though they are not recognized. The political process of now is not working. Without the first step of getting parties to the table then everyone moving forward and been a part of a winning solution humanity is doomed to repeat history of self annihilation. Very good question on your part.
In fact, Ukrainians want to move forward to create a higher standard of living, but Russia doesn't want them to achieve just that.
The non-west world, especially China/India, is rapidly catching up with the western world. The wealth the West so far has is due to poor science/tech around the world (who else could produce vaccines and airplanes?). It's an inevitable trend, and there is no way for the West to stop this trend: they can only become less and less relevant. What does NATO can do in this situation? Well, cause wars everywhere in non-western world..., to hinder their development.
And you have expressed a belief--in the comment above--that you are likely attached to as you see it as being in concert with the truth.
@@oceanwave4502 - What is India's vaccine ? Chinese Covid-19 vaccine is no where near Western vaccines in terms of advanced tech and anti-viral effectiveness.
Which avionics and jet engines are flying most passenger airplanes these days ?
BTW, who else, beside UKUS, is owning IPs on crucial microchip core designs ?
Russia is waging war in Donbass in order to hinder Ukraine's development, i.e. joining EU, isn't it ?
How about China threating to invade Taiwan ? is it intent to hinder Taiwan's development ?
Jonas Gahr Store - salute you Sir. An optimist and an ambassador of the best of humanity. Glad you are a Prime Minister and are able to use that platform to promote peace, positivity and hope to the table in spite of challenges and set backs.
To be honest, Norway is blessed to have leadership that understands the world we live in and the importance to use all tools to keep our world in peace. Forget about democracy or whatever, Norway has a lot to teach all of us. I was very impressed how they resolved conflict with Russia which the West now demonize but which also may have security concerns. Long life Mr. PM
Ther will be no ngotiation that reduse Ukraina right to deside their own path. What Putin does is putting the gun to your head, and say that he want to nagotiate. Europeian leaders - including JGS will of course never, ever acept this. But they will use very modesed language to a) try to deexculate tention, and b) let Putin be alone with the aggressive retoric.
@@haraldbjthunem4059 No. What Putin has done is made sure that NATO can't put yet another gun to Russia's head. There's a difference.
@@rwnemocsgo2542 what gun to Russias head?
What about the necelar mediumdistance missiles (ras)Putin has placed in Kaliningrad++? These illegal treatybrakers weapons can destroy capitals in Balticum, Polen and germany. Killing millions of people in minutes.
Why did (ras)Putin break the essensial inf-treaty that banned all kinds of these dangerous threatning weapons in all Europa?
Dictator Putin - and his mafioso-clepomnic-oligark -dictatorship, is the ONLY agressor today.
Now this stupid fruit is threatning with war in Ukrainia.
The west (NATO) is ready, just waiting....
Ask the Russian people what they want.
Answer: They hate Putin more and more every day. They want peace, welfare and democraty. Not new weapons. Not new wars.

And you are just one of these stupid Russian trolls trying, trying, trying... .
Poor Russian have to do something to avoid staving.
Deciding to be in NATO is not just siding with NATO, it's the agreement to arm up, possibly nuclear, it means US troops moving in... I can see Russia disliking the Idea.
It's just Russian (and American) sabre rattling. Russia isn't the USSR during its prime. It isn't a military threat to the USA or EU. It has nukes and economic levers and it can bully smaller countries, but the world doesn't need NATO to beat Russia. Ukraine joining NATO or not is about political allegiance -- will it move closer to American influence, or not? That is what Russia/America are upset about. The military aspect of it is theatre (until, perhaps by mistake, it stops being).

Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.

6:20 Muscovy emerged as a semi-independent state on 1502, as a result of The Horde (1243-1501) disintegration. So it was completely impossible for Norway to be in peace with Muscovy for thousand years. Muscovy not even bordered with Norway until 1478, when Muscovy conquered Novgorod and murdered its Slovenic population.

First was the coup d'etat at the 22th february 2014 in Kiev. It was the start of a problable sort of civil war. The eastern autonomous self proclamed republics of Lugansk and
Donetsk against the new central power were invaded and so plus Crimea disconexion was an awfull situation produced by the extreme right unilateral nationalism repressive against the russian ukranian population. And so only a federative constitution as proposed in the Minsk agreement may peacefully solve the complex situation of the people in Ukrania of all nationalities.

Good thing he added the qualifier. I was about to start listing all the examples.

If I am Putin, I will be quite happy how things have been progressing. There would be dialogues and there would be some concessions from NATO albait minor... but what Putin can do is organize a NATO like alliance with China,North Korea, Iran and Venezuela, and may be Cuba... put defensive weapons there, like S-400/500, some troops and get permanent rights to harbour nuclear subs. Then the whole game changes. North Korea will come happyli in the alliance, and I see no reason Iran and Venezuela not joining this ... the only question would be will China nod to this??
It can, due to QUAD but will it? That is the question.
Unfortunately Biden has to increase the rhetoric from US side, his approval ratings are tancked.. he hopes to increase it with this conflict. but what it will do is that it will change the power balance in the world. The days of unipolar world ends now.
There's no need for an official alliance. Everyone's goals are different for the most part. In Syria for example Russia worked with Iran and Turkey just fine without any alliance, in fact Turkey is in NATO. You know, the way normal countries behave and work with others. EU and NATO members probably forgot how that works because they ether have to listen to other countries they are dependent on, or it turns into a huge argument and there is no good compromise. Like how UK got fed up with EU and left, or how Germany is being pressured to provide guns to Ukraine against their will right now.
@Varangian Guard Russia has no border disputes with China. Final details got settled in 2005.
I don't think China wants to join this alliance and fully antagonise the west. They are powerful enough on their own, and I don't think sheltering these smaller countries bring much benefit to them. China also has way more economic influence than russia so they would be impacted heavier if they were cut off from the western markets.
@@primoyz5608 u r partially correct. But will the west and nato/eu remain silent if it attack Taiwan?? Why west has formed AUKUS/Quad alliances against China?? It has a lot of motivation to join in an official alliance with russia and other countries... but the question is will it??

putin, shoigu n lavrov..pls withdraw troops from ukraine immediately...the World loves peace n stability. we all don't want war...n we never want war. you are making the World more dangerous and destructive. don't push the World into mishap because of your selfishness n cruelty illusion.
The best interview and answers from a NaTO country member so far. The rest are bullshit.
I always wondering why US and Europian countries have big economies because They are Good in selling Weapons by creating wars in Asia and Africa.
Would you say the same if Russia were to position similar weaponry in Cuba?
Kaliningrad is bristling with Russian missiles.

USA Liberal hegemonic politics after 1991 brought us to very dangerous times. What is Liberal Hegemony? There are three hard core principals of Liberalism: Inalienable (absolute) Human Rights, Tolerance and Enforcing power, so called "The Night Watchmen State". Of cause the last is the USA with all military might. Is does not look bad for internal politics, if state decides to adopt it, but USA made it their personal Quest to make every country in the World to accept liberal values. They took that luggage of lunacy and travel to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, pocking Russia and China with liberal ideas. If a State reject liberal values, USA uses its military might to regime change and after applies social engineering to change hearts and minds of locals. But local nationalism is way brutal and stronger then LGBT right or tolerance, or women right. Here is track record: destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, bad relations with Russia and China.
A remarkable man, and a very intelligent interview. Compare this thoughtful, articulate statesman with the self-obsessed, vengeful, corrupt, crass, blithering Mango Manchild we just got rid of here (partially) in the US. It's freakin' embarassing. Would that all nations of our world could at least be led by stable adults like this man.
Nice floor...massonic style ?
SO Intelligent
Although I do agree with a lot of what Mr Gahr is saying, I do need to point out that his statements regarding "My security should not impose on your security, we have diplomatic toolboxes and channels for this and it needs to be handled politically" is rather hypocritical. Becuase one of the reasons for this "build up" of Russian forces, as publicly stated by Russian officials, is becuase they have been trying to communicate their concerns about NATO expansion, politically and diplomatically for years now but they feel ignored. That's literally what they themselves have stated.
"We have lost patietence becuase every time we voice our concerns, they have been ignored and not responded to".
So this "toolbox" that we as europeans have, cannot only be used when we see fit or when it benefits us, it's needs to be the primary solution for everyone whenever it's needed.
EDIT: Would also like to add that the journalist conducting the interview has surprisingly leading questions and an obvious, extreme bias and one-sided point of view. It's this bias and one-sided rhetoric that is a huge part of the challenge and a huge obstacle of us ever hoping to achieve peace diplomatically. A big part of solving a problem is listening to both sides, not just the one. Very soft and leading questions, no objectivitey or accountiability, overall very poor journalism.
Do you know anything about the very important inf-treaty between USA and Sovjet /Russia that Putin broke few years ago?
Have you heard about the Helsinki - agreement, finale act that Putin - Russia have broken several times?
What about the Paris - agreement, sign by Russia (lavrov?) and then broken by Putin - Russia?
What are you taking about? Signing treaties/agreementsts/deals, and then ignore them?
Putin - Russia is the real agressor who think he/she can get away with stupid false narratives....
Europe should make decisions solely in their own interest. Russia cannot be ignored. Everyone must find some way to accommodate each other's concerns. It all started by one grouping destabilising Ukraine and caused an undemocratic regime change.
Convince russia that NATO is not a threat to them they should not be so scared of them even if they are way more powerful than russia
UK and USA is the main problem here according to him. American should free Afghanistan money asap so that they can buying food and medicine for their children. Best interview I ever seen.
The name how many countries would you destroy?
No democracy in Europe and never been here to
*MP* : I believe, huh you know until there’s a variable Palestine state living next door to Israel state, there’ll not be a stability in the region.
