Well we are in N.A.T.O.-land, Larry.
But N.A.T.O. isn't defending the territory it used to defend anymore, and along with that, it isn't the threat it used to be. And anyway..., who would want to bomb the home of the Nobel Peace Prize, and The Oslo Accord?
Which all bodes well for our beloved Norn Iron, incidentally, as it isn't as important anymore in the wider scheme of things, and can be cut loose with as minimum loss of face as possible.

I would have thought that Greath and all his butties would be jumping for joy at the prospect.
