So, when will the USA military invade Norway?

I assume per your definition of "country" Norway should be a country as well.

Norway is a major party in selling oil and gas, but doing it so in NOK. Norway is not even part of NATO. At least until now.

So when do you expect an attack by the USA military?

Slight correction: Norway has been part of NATO pretty much since its inception after WWII, but never joined the EU. Same for Iceland.

Its neighbors Sweden and Finland are EU members whose citizens have recently come to widespread agreement that NATO membership is desirable.

Norway uses US dollar for oil trade.

Petrodollar is just a term. It does not mean that the contracts are in US Dollar. The measurement is in NOK.

"In Consideration of the assignment described under Article 2.1 above, Buyer shall pay to Seller a post tax amount of NOK [zz] ([zz]), ref. Article 5."

Also the measurement is NOK: https://www.norskpetroleum.no/en/production-and-exports/expo...

NOK is recommended. That document doesn't say what currency is used for actual transfers.

> Norway is not even part of NATO.

Odd… because the head of NATO is Norwegian.

Your entire comment is completely misinformed.
