It depicts a fictionalized story. The premise doesn't need to be 100% fleshed out in terms of geopolitical realities.

Yeah, but there's such a thing as suspension of disbelief.

The idea that we'd chill out while Russia invades Norway... I mean, you could come up with a way to make that sound plausible, but it would almost have to be the central theme of the whole show.

I recall that it’s depicted as a kind of bloodless coup / occupation.
