Norwegian fuel supplier refuses U.S. warships over Ukraine
UK Defence Journal ^ | 1 MAR 2025 | George Allison

Posted on 03/01/2025 6:04:19 PM PST by tkocur

Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to U.S. military forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.

In a strongly worded statement, the company criticised a televised event involving U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, referring to it as the “biggest shitshow ever presented live on TV.” Haltbakk Bunkers praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his restraint, accusing the U.S. of “putting on a backstabbing TV show” and declaring that the spectacle “made us sick.”

As a result, the company stated: “We have decided to immediately STOP as fuel provider to American forces in Norway and their ships calling Norwegian ports. No Fuel to Americans!” Haltbakk Bunkers also urged Norwegians and Europeans to follow their lead, concluding their statement with the slogan “Slava Ukraina” in support of Ukraine.

In their language. how does one say go...never mind.

I know this sounds CRAZY...but 15, 20 years down the line, it’s not impossible that we will be having skirmishes with come European countries.

We need to make plans to withdraw from Europe and move our bases back to the continental United States. Our area of interest is now Asia.

Norway is a NATO country. This is likely illegal.

Ukraine was Russian 30 years ago. I suppose a lot happens in such a short amount of time but WTH is it about Ukraine that has the west going bat shot crazy?

I have my suspicions and if correct then it means the west is run by kids.

Saw this ...

Are NATO countries obligated to defend each other?

Article 5 of the Washington Treaty — that an attack against one Ally is an attack against all — is at the core of the Alliance, a promise of collective defense.

I would call this an attack on services.

Cool. Don’t need to defend Norway. Now if only the rest of Europe would take on the same attitude and policy we could ditch warmongering NATO and let the Leftist Euro-pigs deal with their own crap.

Because in the modern world the standard for legitimacy and sovereignty is the popular will.

There are lots of smaller countries that depend on that to keep large neighbors from getting ambitious.

Why would the peace-loving Ruskies led by the peace-loving and completely trustworthy Vladimir Putin invade Norway?

I’d be a shame if a US supplied, Yuke fired rocket accidentally hit a Norwegian fuel dock....
