| Norway. Overrun in WW2. Shielded under the umberalla of NATO ever since, despite being non nuclear. Sweden "non aligned" in WW2 code for "please leave us alone" sheltered under the aegis of NATO ever since, despite not being a member. Denmark invaded by Germany WW2, NATO member defacto shielded by nuclear equipped members, ditto Spain. Finland, hard bastards who defeated Russia in the winter war 39-40. Non aligned but nominally sheltering under the NATO umbrella. South Africa, geographically remote, hard to subdue (see Boer Wars). What do they all have in common? Shielded by nuclear allies or friendly States. Next stupid question? |
