The mayor of Reykjavik has called for the Icelandic capital to cut its ties with Moscow over Russia's nationwide ban on homosexual propaganda.

I believe Iceland was also the first nation to legalize abortion back in the 1930s. A beautiful nation geographically but they’ve drunk the left-wing kool-aid for decades.

I think the population of Iceland is even smaller than the combined population of all the suburbs of Sankt Petersburg. Maybe the size (260,000) of ONE suburb :)

Perhaps it’s because they tend to all be cousins?
