Yeah, but what does "taking it seriously" really mean? They can either comply or not. If they comply, the world will call Norway hypocrites. If they don't, you think Myanmar's military would give two fucks about forcefully destroying their facilities, killing their employees along the way?

It's no only a matter of optics and it's cynical to reduce it to a mere PR (ergo, money) problem. It's catch 22.

I do in fact think Myanmar's military will give multiple fucks about killing Norwegian citizens. Destroying their facilities, less so.
Most of their employees in Myanmar aren't going to be Norwegian.
