It’s pure virtue signaling. Russophobes competing among themselves who can do the stupidest PR stunt to “stick it to the Russians”.
They send their sabers to Ukraine so now they have to rattle the fence.
Also fence is very good in repelling invasion of the enemy that don’t want to invade. Poland have one on border with Belarus and we didn’t get invaded by Belarus even once since it was build!
But seriously, it is a regional poor version of Trump wall and physical avatar of Iron Curtain. Its purpose is to create physical division between “us” and “them” and create impression that “they” are aggressive and will attack any moment, but also weak enough to be deterred by fence. You know, it’s fascism 101.
IDK, if I were Russian I’d be pretty happy about it (though concerned for the likely effects on wildlife migration). Russia just keeps racking up wins (on the foreign policy/relations side anyways, domestic politics is an entirely different matter). If the European “garden” countries could just fence themselves off completely (and stop being a pest outside their borders) the world would be a much better place.
“Oh shit they’ve built a fence! Now we have to go the long way round if we wish to meddle in their elections!”
It’ll make the proles slightly more complacent.
Genuine pictures of the Finnish fence that inspired Norwegians:

so all this is good for is to wreck migration of animals, nothing else. good job, norway.
Good luck with that
For what reason a fence?

Every day that passes, Stalin’s idea on social democracy just becomes truer.
