I disagree
I have no stance. But feel free to elaborate.
There is no genuine threat to peace in Norway aside from right-wing extremism which a defence alliance can't do shit about anyway. The 00s in particular and onwards have seen a shift in what exactly the defence alliance, NATO, is being used for. I do not think Norway should be considered an ally of the enemy, the US, as it automatically results in worse relations with other major powers, notably Russia and China. I'd rather see Norway have a neutral relationship to all the major powers than picking favourites making the country vulnerable to possible future conflicts between our allies and their enemies.
