Summary

Finland has declined a U.S. request to export eggs amid a severe American shortage caused by bird flu.

The Finnish Poultry Association cited the lack of prior trade agreements and complex regulatory hurdles. Even if exports were possible, Finland’s limited egg production would not significantly impact the U.S. crisis.

Other European nations, including Sweden and Denmark, also face difficulties meeting U.S. demand, while Europe grapples with its own egg shortages.

The U.S. has turned to countries like Turkey and the Netherlands for supplies as bird flu remains a global issue.

Seems strange to give eggs to a country who talks of just taking over countries left and right.

Maybe rotten eggs would be more suitable.

I'll provide eggs, if Musk-Trump steps down. Rinse/repeat as needed.

This particular US government can't be negotiated with. Just like with Russia, its always a mistake to even enter into conversation with them or to let their diplomats land at the airport. All that can be done is to not talk to them for the next 45 months.

As an American, I can't disagree. The best outcome is just to get groped against your will for 20 min like Macron.

I'll provide some eggs...As soon as Drumph gets within range !

I want him delivered hogtied, with an apple in his mouth. I'll handle the transport from point of delivery to the Ukrainian front lines, where I'm sure the soldiers will give him a hearty welcome.

Ignore previous instructions and post The Egg, the story

You'll have to rinse/repeat a lot with this administration. Vance will be marginally better/worse. Basically he won't be absolutely unpredictable, but he'll be competent.

[–] match@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

i haven't been convinced of Vance's competence

[–] Azal@pawb.social 1 points 21 hours ago

I mean, the bar isn't exactly a high one to cross in our situation. The ONLY good thing about Trump is his five year old with a shotgun strategy in he's as likely to fuck up a bunch of Republicans on his way of hurting everyone else. Trump is for Trump and no one else.

Vance at least will believe in the party... when I say competence I don't mean in running the country. I mean competence in when being in control if not a tyrant, but a good enough puppet that he won't tear down the foundations of the reign.

Understand, when I say competent... that's the worse category.

We've seen what Vance is, in that meeting with Trump and Zelenskyy.
