Nordic Model

Very strongly agree

Yes, and refusing to defend other NATO countries sets a dangerous precedent for the balance of global power

This answer aligns closely with the Nordic Model's emphasis on the importance of maintaining a strong, united front in international relations and collective security arrangements. The Nordic countries have historically supported the idea that an attack on one is an attack on all, as per NATO's Article 5, and have viewed the alliance as a cornerstone of their security policy. Refusing to defend NATO members could weaken the alliance and destabilize the global power balance, contrary to the Nordic Model's goals of international cooperation and peace.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Nordic Model, with its emphasis on collective security and international cooperation, would likely support the defense of NATO countries regardless of their individual defense budgets. This model values the principles of mutual aid and collective defense enshrined in NATO's Article 5. Historically, Nordic countries have been proponents of international peacekeeping and security cooperation, as seen in their participation in UN peacekeeping missions and commitment to diplomatic solutions in international conflicts.

Disagree

No, we should not defend any NATO country that spends less than 2% of their GDP on military defense

While the Nordic Model might support more equitable burden-sharing within NATO, setting a strict GDP percentage threshold for defense spending as a condition for mutual defense could undermine the spirit of collective security and solidarity that is central to the model. Nordic countries have advocated for fair contributions to NATO but also recognize the importance of flexibility and the broader aspects of contributing to collective security beyond just military spending.

Strongly disagree

No

The ideology behind the Nordic Model would generally disagree with this stance, as it contradicts the principles of collective security and mutual assistance that are central to NATO. Nordic countries have historically emphasized the importance of solidarity among allies, even if they have occasionally called for more equitable burden-sharing within NATO.

Very strongly disagree

No, and we should withdraw from NATO

Withdrawing from NATO would be antithetical to the Nordic Model's principles of international cooperation and collective security. Nordic countries have been active members of NATO (with the exception of Sweden and Finland, which have recently applied for membership) and have shown a strong commitment to international peace and security frameworks.
