“But all that doesn’t take place in some tiny euro vacuum that pretends to be independant.”
No one claimed otherwise. The Norwegian AWACS pilots who have been patrolling the Libyan coast flew American planes I assume, or some sort of Nato assets.
The small numbers contributed by the different nations are there mostly to put an international gloss on the operations - especially the limited arab contributions. The heavy lifting is obviously being done by the U.S, France and the UK.
Though even small numbers can sometimes make a difference. It was reportedly Norwegian F-16’s in Afghanistan who took out much of the Zawahiri clan.
In operation overlord two Norwegian Spitfire squadrons provided air superiority over Omaha beach. Hopefully they helped save a few American lives.

Sorry wasn’t being disagreable and did not intend to imply you were.
Of you weren’t. I was just talking out loud.
Dang keyboard can’t express itself in the same way one could if we were in the same room.
Cheers.
