The Germans invaded Norway by sea.

If you think bordering an invaded Norway, and Finland at war with the soviets is a stable situation where you neutrality will never be challenged, then I think you should consider some counterfactuals.

Any secret that would make them an interesting target, or aggravate a potential enemy, is a security threat.

Yes, it's complicated, and I'm not trying to defend any actions during the world war.

Only the notion that a country not in a hot war has no state secrets that can jeopardize security. Or just jeopardize the sitting government, this is a propaganda campaign after all.

And we sold ball bearings to Germany and laundered confiscated gold.
