    Norway should be giving more tbh. We could donate 100bn Euro a year and not notice it. It would just mean not getting a return on the oil fund for those years.

    Equipping Ukraine is arguably the best way to use the money to safeguard Norway’s future. So it’s not entirely altruistic.

      AFAIK Norway gives several times more per capita than USA did in 2024 with their $60 billion package.
      Yes Norway is very rich with the national treasure fund, but that like saying Warren Buffet should give $20 billion because he also has a large fund of about a third of the Norway Sovereign Wealth Fund.

      Norway is doing their part, Austria, Italy and Spain for instance are not. Even Greece is helping despite their economy is extremely strained.
