Good article, behind paywall
In short: Aftenposten has asked the Defense Researchs Establishment to calculate the Norwegian peace dividend since 1990:
The answer is 1000 Bn NOK
A calculated 2023 budget with no cuts would have been approx 130 Bn NOK.

Norge trodde på fred i Europa – kuttet 1000 milliarder i forsvarsutgifter
Norske politikere trodde på langvarig fred i Europa. Et fredelig og demokratisk Russland utgjorde ikke lenger noen trussel. Tiden var inne for å kutte forsvarsutgiftene.

For comparison, the real world Norwegian Defense budget for 2023 was 75.8 Bn NOK.
This is highly commendable work by Aftenposten, giving a very good illustration of how deep the Norwegian Defense cut backs since the end of the Cold War have been.

RT @DAlperovitch: From messages retrieved from Russian illegal Cherkasov who was collecting intel on US policy in DC before the war (to his handler):
"There are no signs indicating that the US is going to provide any but political support to the Ukrainians in case of war”
Remarkably bad intel...

@DarthPutinKGB There should be a picture added there of Victor Orban with the title 'Hungary being kicked out of NATO 2023'.

@ChrisO_wiki Thanks for another great and informative thread.
Side note: I am also dubious about pic used in tweet 10 though. It looks like Greek or similar camo and some of the webbing/kit looks old as does the grainy picture. Might warrant a re-check.
