    Sweden should ‘accidentally’ torpedo one of their subs when it wanders into their waters, then send them a bill for the torpedo that ‘wandered into their hull’, should cancel out.

    They’re wild animals. Seriously who gives a fuck, plus at the rate we’re going they’d probably go extinct in the next 50-100 years

        Russia didn’t catch any? 40 were slaughtered in Norway after they returned so they couldn’t go back to russia.

            They are extremely free-range but not wild animals, so the owner is supposed to have some general control of where they are going.

            But anyway, this is not a problem for Sweden of Finland. It is resolved amicably if even noticed at all.

            Russia is just their usual doing-whatever-they-want and saying-whatever-they-want. A few years ago, when some of their illegal fishing vessels were told to stop fishing illegally by the coastal guard, they made up some new and immediate laws to prohibit existing Norwegian ship trade. When some of the food we imported from them were found to be below safety standards and rejected, they suddenly found that all salmon they imported from Norway were extremely low quality and they demanded to pay less for it.

            Petty bullshit. Diplomatically they are kids imitating the language of bigger kids.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    And while there’s a fence to prevent reindeer from crossing borders, that barrier dates back to 1954 with parts in disrepair, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday.

    The rundown fence has allowed 42 reindeer to cross into Russia this year in search of better pastures in Pasvik Zapovednik, a Russian national park.

    Russia has already sent one claim — with two different ways of calculating the compensation — for the runaway reindeer’s grazing, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture told Insider in an email on Thursday.

    The latter claim is calculated based on the total number of days the reindeer have spent grazing in the national park.

    “It is strictly forbidden to cross the border into Russia, for reindeer too,” the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday, according to an AFP translation.

    Russia’s natural resources and environment ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
