>Protectionism is the economic policy of restraining trade between nations, through methods such as tariffs on imported goods, restrictive quotas, a variety of restrictive government regulations designed to discourage imports, and anti-dumping laws in an attempt to protect domestic industries in a particular nation from foreign take-over or competition. This is closely aligned with anti-globalization, and contrasts with free trade, where no artificial barriers to entry are instituted.

>Relying on the US for the army isn't so bad.

It was an excellent idea in the 1945-2001 period but since the days of Bush most European countries have changed their minds. The brightest countries noticed it before the Iraq invasion, the slowest ones got involved into the mess and changed their mind.
So not surprisingly, the idea of an independant EU defense (based on French nuclear deterence) in addition to NATO sounds a lot more attractive these days. Even the UK (traditionally more inclined to look across the Atlantic than across the Channel) have begun to show interest.
Plus, the US face recruitment issues. The Pentagon stated that the country could not fight another major war at the moment. Their economy will slow down, too.

>It's not like they're suddenly going to get invaded by someone.
Low population, oil ? sounds yummy ... and invaders don't send warnings in advance, usually. The 1940 invasion of Norway was short and sweet.

>Russia's been friendly lately.
Not that much. Putin threatened of a new arms race due to the radar affair (more US incompetence) and cold war speeches and behaviors (like Bear bombers flying over US carriers/Japan) resurfaced.

The invasion of Iraq (declared illegal by the U.N., and under false pretenses) has created a dangerous precedent. It has shown that an "unreliable" (I'm being polite) US president can get elected, and can get away with invading a country. For all we know, Bush himself could invade Norway ! all he has to do is claim that Norwegians are bloodthirsty animals (worked for the muslims, could work for vikings). He can also claim that Norway hides WMDs and offers support to Al Qaeda (doesn't need to find any evidence of either weapons or terrorists anyway). And countries protesting in the UN would be declared "cowards" or "old Europe and not significant anymore" like Germany.
Hell, he managed to say that Poland was leading Europe, or that Costa Rica was an important member of the coalition (they have no army ...), so he could probably brand Norway as part of "the axis of evil".

>I doubt were going to see a WW3 anytime soon.
Same answer as always : "are you sure ? because if you're wrong, it would be too late to regret it".

Seriously though : yes it's highly improbable, but that's not how you plan the defense of your country. Remember that the US weren't ready when the declarations of war from Japan and Germany came in WW2. "If you want peace, prepare for war" - as true now as ever.

The world is far away from another massive global conflict.

If anything we're only going to see problems arising over Kashmire, other than that things will be smoothened out. Hopefully.

The invasion of Afghanistan was necessary... But the US could have avoided Iraq, heck, Saddam would have helped fight off the muslims in afghanistan! Of course, the US fought Saddam over Kuwait, so he probably wasn't going to be sending them flowers any time soon.

Crimes against humanity, anyone? We were better off with Saddam in terms of stability, but only because it takes a true bloodthirsty dictator to rule over the muslims. (I'm from the Middle-East, and God help you if you try and get Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites to cooperate)

>The world is far away from another massive global conflict.

Probably true, but it wasn't what I had in mind, which was more like "LOL I invaded Norway in one week while the US are bogged down in Iraq and the EU didn't budge - all I got was a reprimand from the U.N., like Bush had".

I don't think that an invasion of Norway would lead to a nuclear strike from the USA. And since Norway doesn't have its own nukes, best bet would be to benefit from the European nuclear umbrella, which they can have for free. And in addition to NATO of course.

>And there's no taming Putin.
The USA are certainly not trying. Instead they are (deliberately or foolishly, I don't know) provoking him. He's not going to back down since the reason of his popularity is his "strong man" image that allowed him to restore order in Russia.
In this context, deploying bases just outside Russian borders and integrating former Warsaw Pact (or even USSR republics !) into NATO isn't promoting peace and trust.
Sorry, I don't like Putin but currently, he's cornered into this "Cold War II" stance. Just like Roosevelt (willingly or not) cornered Japan into Pearl Harbor. That's his only option.

Wow people actually do this??? That is very sad. I'm Polish and I've never in my life seen something like this happen here. We pretty much don't give a rat's ass what other countries think of us for the most part. It could be because we're kind of introverted as a country... maybe even a tad narcissistic if you can say that of an entire ethnic group. We hardly have any world news on the national news broadcasts, and even when we do they're often relegated to the very end of the newscast.
The only time I have seen something remotely like this happen was when Bush said "don't forget Poland" and then it became a meme. I read a couple of articles about it (in magazines mind you, and they were not the cover story in any of them) and they each recognized that it's all in good fun. I actually expected some of the more proud members of our nation to be offended, but no one seemed to be.
