  From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock. Disable one in front, one in rear, and you’ve got them kettled.

  Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

    Neo has a really good video on the presidential motorcade and how it works. It is absurd in a place like Milan, certainly, but every part of it is there for a reason.

    Here is that video on Nebula

    And here it is on YouTube

      One size doesn’t fit all.

      Moreover, the president is getting the treatment of a king. They are ostensibly fungible assets. There’s a succession plan. The more they’re protected, the more they’re a target (and invading foreign countries doesn’t help).

      the secret service wants to know your location.

    I guess from a security perspective it also helps to obfuscate Vance’s whereabouts. It’s difficult to know which one of the 40 vehicles he’s actually in.

      Only the first two vehicles show signs of armouring. I don’t think that all this theatrics would happen and then not put the cargo in the armoured car.

    It’s them applying the same stray as in the US even though they are in Milan and the roads are twice as narrow.

    I suppose they think there is so many cars it would be hard to know in which the couch fucker is. But still you are correct to say that convoy could be easily completely blocked. And in that case you could have an army to defend it it would be a very bad situation.

    Unless you are not in America, being surprise at the incompetence and stupidity of these fuckers in power is unacceptable.

  His charade parade likely cost an American figure skater a gold medal. The traffic jam his ego created delayed her arrival to the venue so much she had to skip her entire warmup.

  Supposedly he brought his own food with him to Italy. Why would anyone bring American food to fucking Italy

    Because he thinks someone will try to poison him. The Stalinist paranoia has set in.

      Is it really paranoia if its a very credible realistic fear?

  This stupid spectacle is deliberate because the US is so fucking important, and stupid.

  Spreading freedom uh democracy uh unnavigable traffic! It’s cute that they brought some gridlock from home so that the Americans would feel at home.

  Isn’t 40 cars too few? I mean, he could have at least taken 90 🌚

  There is a war lord from my country who has been the head of parliament for at least 30 years who used to send out a huge convoy of cars and security only to be driving himself in an old busted up car. I don’t know if that’s true, it could have been a rumour. Also I hope the couch fucker tries to fuck a folding couch and it snaps his little sausage off.

  If he wanted to bring his sofa harem with him, he should have rented a truck.
