Slap to US warriors from Iceland? Handsomely.

The Icelandic government has eggs! What can not be said about fraternal Serbia.

The State Department urgently began to look for a traitor in the Icelandic government ...

No, the Yankees must declare that oil has been discovered in Iceland, call the government illegitimate, and start bombing. a habit.

- The Icelandic government has not just eggs, but steel eggs! The only country in the world that did not begin to transfer debts on speculative loans of bankers to the people. Bankers and oligarchs were wanted.

So like Iceland, we took money from the lards of 30 English candy wrappers. What can’t you say to the collection pipe. But still nice

Vladimir, maybe you’re right, I don’t know anything about this. But note that over the past 10-15 years, Iceland does not appear anywhere as an opponent of Russia.

Good afternoon, namesake. Around this time, Russia saved the Icelandic economy. Noyerno already paid off the debt, but they remember the good. Respect and respect

Well done Icelanders, a good move. That's just whether it will be able to resist the pressure of mattress covers.

[marlin1203]

Yeah ... Iceland is a powerful player in international politics! The population is already 330 thousand people. And the army, and the fleet! ..

[33 Watcher]

And therefore, powerful, no matter where, they do not climb and send everyone. Correctly! Calm northern guys, they don’t care about our showdowns.

[marlin1203]

Yes, they are like the elusive Joe ... They are remembered in two cases when the volcano smells there and when our strategists fly by that's what it is about.

[marlin1203]

But I didn’t understand the cons. That there are people on the site who seriously consider Iceland a major player in world geopolitics?

But the geographical position in the military aspect is very favorable.

[marlin1203]

Vladimir, equidistant from everyone, essentially an isolated small island in the Atlantic Ocean, is a really unprofitable position in the "military aspect." ). This is generally similar to our testing ground on Novaya Zemlya. What is there profitable? How to supply it, how to defend with such a population? There are not even roads between settlements, communication by sea. Selling under a NATO base only if ...

[Horn]

Monaco, Liechtenstein, Vatican and Luxembourg no more.

[esso]

Icelanders want to live quietly and peacefully on their island in friendship with everyone. Current US government does not exist!

[Serg 122]

Yeah, they remember the fate of the Baltic sprats, so they carefully protect the future fate of their herring ...

[Hubun]

like this everywhere and increase their military presence, empty words or a rocking cone

[Rurikovich]

Well, that’s it, they will announce sanctions, accuse them of supporting terrorists and violating human rights, and manual rating agencies will lower their credit rating to pre-default It is no good for the lackeys to contradict the gentleman and to hesitate in his words

[Gorjelin]

Iceland, alas, is a rare holder of brains, conscience and sovereignty in the Western world.

[Oberon 1]

This is not the 90s when there was no kerosene.

[auran]

It is amazing to hear a sound voice (albeit for your own peace of mind) in an unflagging stream of lies. Iceland Respect!

[pexotinec]

Oh, Americans will not forgive such courage. This is how they could disagree with the "statement" of the "exceptional"

[Anchonsha]

It is difficult to keep the truth even when the mattress covers so grossly shut their mouths to all countries that are NATO members or are close to this aggressive alliance. And this pisses off mattresses as they don’t want to lose world leadership.

[brasist]

The striped stars have got used to the fact that, according to their call, "sixes" stand on their hind legs and faithfully look into the eyes of their owner - What do you want. And then such a bummer and a specific message ...

[VadimSt]

Not everyone still agrees to walk in the same "formation" and sing the same "song" with them.

[afrikanez]

Well, striped, your nose is everywhere bustling. You probably don’t know the Russian proverb: Curious Barbara, her nose was torn off in the bazaar. Well this is a common truth, you need to know.

[veksha50]

"only the United States is interested in building NATO air defense facilities in Iceland" ...

And only the USA sees a threat to peace emanating from Russia ...

For some reason, in some sort of Kuala Lumpur or Sierra Leone. have not yet been called on to deploy an air defense / missile defense system against Russian aircraft and missiles ...

[njvlin]

The US political establishment needs to read Aesop's fabulist (at worst Krylov) and learn to write fables, otherwise their fables are poorly remembered

[3 Gorynych]

As such a statement does not fit into the general picture of amers-Russia and suddenly does not violate! Can not be....

[morpogr]

They wanted to lie as always about the aggressor of Russia, but here the Icelanders turned out to be honest people.

[makcpush]

Soon there will be a maidan.

[yuriy55]

As it turned out, the size of the country and the number of people living in it do not always correspond to the size of the mind and the level of national pride.
Bravo, Iceland!
A worthy example for such as France and Bulgaria ...

[JACTUS RECTUS]

We are waiting in Reykjavek for mass "peaceful" demonstrations of students fighters against corruption.

[Gora66]

wait for the "colored" herring ....

Mala article yes pleasant!

The spider tried to spread a web over Iceland. Did not work out. So young people will stir up.

There are also sane politicians in Europe. And it pleases.

[proletarian]

Do you think why the president of Iceland has been in office for the third term?
Everything is very simple, all the most serious issues concerning all the inhabitants of Iceland are submitted to a referendum, how the citizens decide it will be, there is less "headache" for the president and more responsibility for the people of the country; the ensuing consequences.
PS So Icelanders have to think with their heads, not "... oops."
