Moscow Times: Moscow’s Last European Neighbor to Ban Russian Cars
Norway will be the last European nation that borders Russia to ban Russian-registered vehicles amid an uproar over an EU directive on import restrictions.
Over the past week, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland have implemented bans on passenger vehicles with Russian license plates.
“Norway will introduce restrictions on importing and using Russian-registered cars in Norway,” Eivind Vad Petersson, Norway’s Foreign Ministry state secretary, said Tuesday.

WNU Editor: The first countries to ban Russian cars were the Baltic states .... Baltic states shut borders to Russia-registered cars (DW). This was followed by Finland .... Finland joins Baltic neighbors in banning Russian-registered cars from entering their territory (The Independent), and then followed by Poland .... Poland imposes EU ban on all Russian-registered passenger cars (AP). And now Norway .... Norway to join Poland, Finland, and Baltic countries in banning vehicles with Russian license plates (Meduza).
Sighhh ....
I am old enough to remember when the West condemned the former Soviet Union for imposing the Iron Curtain on Europe. Decades later, it is the West that is now imposing "a curtain:
You are a bad joke. The Iron Curtain was to keep people in not keep them out. There is a difference. If there was not difference we would not need two words. We could get rid of the words "out" or the word "in".
ReplyDeleteI have an uncle that fled eastern Europe. After he earned American citizenship, he was afraid to go back to visit, because communists are like Ayatollahs.
If we built a wall on the southern border to keep illegals out of America, what would the left have to say to that? More Double standards at play again.
DeleteYep. More buffoonery from WNU Editor. He has no problems with Russia threatening NATO countries, conducting hybrid warfare and cyberattacks, engaging in nuclear blackmail, or calls to rollback NATO membership so they can directly threaten Central Europe like they do Ukraine. Somehow that's not aggression.
ReplyDeleteBut to ban Russian registered cars in Europe!?! How dare they! It's like his mind cannot connect Russian aggression with the West's (very belated) response to it.

This iron curtain is definitely designed to keep people in. To prevent you (a member of the small 15% of the world population that is "the west") from interacting with the global majority and seeing our oligarchs for what they are.
ReplyDeleteI bet our WNU editor was tired and did a brainfart when he commented, but we also have to recognize that the west did condemn the Iron Curtain so he's not wrong, even tho it's very weak.
ReplyDeleteSmall deadly space
ReplyDeleteThe people the Baltic states are keeping out are Russian and the are mighty tighty whitey
