Hm, not sure this will stand actually. German authorities are basing this on European sanctions banning the import of cars and taking an expansive view of what "import" means.

All the cars I saw in Berlin last month with Russian plates were luxury vehicles. What I’m saying is: gently caress ‘em.

The kinds of russians who have passports and vacations in Europe, aren't the poors having to save up for a Lada (or I guess, these days, a Chery or a Geely). The well-to-do prefer BMWs and Mercedes and things like that.

Yeah. Look at Helsinki airport carpark and you see rows of luxury SUVs on Russian plates.

I want an episode of Achtung Kontrolle! where a man with a clipboard tells drivers that their Russian car is forbidden.

Samovar posted:The IMF is predatory and engages in economic exploitation. But, uh, the people trying to depopulate Ukraine are OBVIOUSLY the greater, immediate and more existential threat to the peoples of Ukraine. To be fair to IMF, after 2008 they’ve shifted from neoclassical theory towards a more Keynesian approach. Remember that they saw the effect austerity had on a European this time

I've seen a fair few cars with Ukrainian plates where I am recently (SW UK) and they've pretty much all been normal cars, nothing fancy. Seems to have gone up a fair bit recently too. Hope they like the amount of Ukranian flags etc that are flying around the place.

I’ve seen quite few Ukrainian cars in my area and most of them were normal to run-down. I don’t think there’s much to read into this kind of anecdotal evidence, except that war sucks.

Same for the couple I've seen in the NW, I think the first one I saw was a fairly old people carrier/minivan, hardly a luxury car.

Theres a alternate universe where WW2 was very short because Germany invaded Poland with a float of hidrogen filled zeppelins. Comming back to reality, this war looks like is going to be long. I don't see Ukrania losing. I don't see Russia losing Sebastopol. No side is really all that motivate to stop. Only russia collapsing could end the war quick... but ... at what price?, the new republics may start wars themselves, but maybe not ontop of one of world farms that feed half the world.

If Germany want to confiscate all the BMWs and Audis, perhaps they could take the time to install working indicators and brakes that allow drivers not to tailgate 5" behind the vehicle in front.
