They are not grazing, simply vacationing. A Special Reindeer Operation, if you will.
And sometimes you do Reindeer Games.
Ah russia can’t even defend themselves from reindeer it would seem
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.
I either don’t get it or this joke has no logic.
The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.
And sending fighter jets into other countries’ air space.
It not usually into the airspace. Just into the air defense zone which is over international waters. It’s the nation-state equivalent to “I’m not touching you.”
You’re right. It did happen once or twice with Finland, but with Norway and the US it is just “near” their airspace.

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 killed all the ones they caught. So probably a little sooner now.
Russia didn’t catch any? 40 were slaughtered in Norway after they returned so they couldn’t go back to russia.
Are you for real? So now animals need passports to go through borders?
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.

Bc they’re property and this is presumably the most economically efficient option for the owner?
Eeey bonzo im walkin ere!
Imagine the russians surprise when norwegian troops come pouring out of those reindeer in the middle of the night
Broke ass bitch
that is some expensive grass
They dont eat grass but lichen.
That is some expensive lichen.
Well the Reindeer sure seen to be lichen it.
They’re probably pining for the fjords now.
4.4 million rubles?isn’t that like 400 dollars…?
worth 0 dollars when your trade is embargoed and you lose recognition as a country
They definitely want the hard currency
It was 47 million nok, or 4.4 million usd. Not rubles.

Russia and Norway did not live happily ever antler after this.
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.
