From Russia With Love

From Russia with love Russia is a strange and great country, not quite in Europe and not quite Eastern, they react to mayhem but seldom intimate it; for those who are history less they won The brutal war of 1940 and 1945 by breaking the back of the German army and making it possible by Britain and the USA to take the credit. Norway has up to know had a warm relationship with this giant, in the form of a barter system, we gave them fish and they sent us cars for everyman. It was not the USA that made car ownership possible, but Russia flooding the market with cheap cars as foreign cars were hard to come by. The cars where called Moscowitch and were fundamental no heating system and a tortuous suspension, but for the first time, every man could be a proud car owner. For those who remember, it was a dreadful car but nevertheless, a car. Lately, to our regret the relationship has suffered, this Is mainly by American political pressure, and partly by the Norwegian oil industry that has made her a wealthy country. This newfound arrogance is miss-placed and silly we must treat Russia as the friend she is and not forget we own her a depth of gratitude.
