Dutch Customs Seize 90,000 Bottles Of Russian Vodka Allegedly Bound For North Korea

The ship, called Nebula, had originated in Russia, had stopped in Hamburg, and was about a day away from Rotterdam, one of the world's largest ports. Paperwork pertaining to the container's circuitous route indicated its final destination was supposed to be China, but authorities, alerted by a computer program, suspected it was really meant to reach Pyongyang in North Korea, and flagged it for inspection.

"We do not want to release more information than necessary about our control strategy," Arno Kooij, director of risk management for the Customs Administration, told the paper."But what I can tell you is that, based on the information available, we suspected that this particular container was subject to the sanctions regime for North Korea."U.N.

"The United Nations Security Council has imposed clear sanctions on North Korea, and it is important to maintain them," Sigrid Kaag, minister of Foreign Trade said, adding that the agency was"entirely justified" in confiscating the vodka.

So that’s how FatKim got so fat.

If Kim wanted vodka, he should have just asked his best friend Donald to bring him some when he comes to visit. Bromance

I guess that means gin martinis at the dinner tomorrow.

kirkdamico Did they also seize the note from Vlad?

Gee Christians and communists getting drunk and pissing on the heathens .

What is it with tiny hands and dictators?

The people are starving but the rulling elites live the good life. Can't wait for the Dems and AOC to do that to us.

I keep saying that Putin has something big going on where he is the puppet master of Kim Jung Un, Saudi royals & Trump.

Seems ok to me. I like vodka, do you?

Interesting timing

Kim and Don love each because they wear the same ring size.

Now Trump can negotiate a deal for American distillers. Winning!

papa putin's going to be mad

Given that Russia has a tiny border with North Korea, one would expect there to be a way to transport vodka without smuggling.

How do they get money to buy them? Every country is clandestinely bartering with them. One county even barters nuclear weapons for missiles. Then the ring leader for both is getting away by using them as proxy to waste precious resources of the two largest democracies.

Whahhhhhh

So you’re saying the ruling class in communist countries get things the regular populace doesn’t?

Stopping this psychopath from getting his buzz on doesn’t seem like a good idea from his people point of view. But, hey you’re not there, give yourself a nice pat on the back. 🤦🏾‍♂️

stole the stolo

NINETY THOUSAND

PutinTrumpKim Corrupt love triangle...

You’d think the Russian scientists helping them with their weapons programs would be able to sneak a few bottles in.

Well, there goes that idea...

Yup, realDonaldTrump friend! His people are starving and he's buying vodka!
