Are Icelanders expecting a war?


That’s a question you could ask if you pay a visit to a supermarket of clothing shop in Iceland. Those markets/shops don’t have much over from their stock because of the bad economical situation that rules the country nowadays, almost like in times of war. The bankruptcy from three of the biggest banks of Iceland and the devaluation of the national currency caused and still cause shortage of stock in all supermarkets. Lack of hard currency together with the devaluation are making it almost impossible to import new clothes and food, which makes that they only have enough left for two weeks...
