All of those cars and probably planes causing god knows how much pollution, just to get one of the world’s most despised men to a meeting where he’ll be too incompetent to have any effect.
Seriously, why do we even have ambassadors anymore?

Not even a drop in the bucket compared to the $300 billion being surrendered to Iran.

That is something Trump promised. It will never happen.

Seriously. There’s no value literally at all in protecting him in any way. This is… Insane. If he died the entire country would immediately improve.
Fingers crossed the big stroke or heart attack is coming soon! Fuck you, old man.

When you’re the most hated country in the world, so you’d need about 50 cars to protect your pedophile criminal leader.

They think it makes them look strong.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Oh yeah, hiding super scared behind a massive wall of security because they made everyone hate them sure makes them look super strong. Instead it makes them look corrupt to a dystopian level.

This has been the norm for high ranking US politicians for decades. About 10 years ago I attended a talk by former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. She described how, as PM, she would regularly take walks along a river in Perth and talk with the folks she would encounter. She had a couple personal security guards who would be with her, but it was all very informal.
When Hillary Clinton visited as US Secretary of State she came with an escort of a dozen or so Secret Service in her entourage. On a whim Gillard suggested going for a walk like she usually did. The Secret Service freaked out that this hadn’t been planned weeks in advance, that the walking route hadn’t been scouted out ahead of time, that they didn’t have agents pre-positioned along the route, etc.
I recall that Gillard said they actually did go on a short walk, but the entire Secret Service entourage was very nervous the entire time.

Yea it’s insane. We need to get back to the idea that anyone is replaceable. That’s the safest they can be when people realizes any successful attempts wouldn’t even matter.
Security industry is incestuous

Apart from the French police in that convoy, how many are needed to wipe Trumps ass and change his nappies?
bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They literally drove through an ideal kill box with no air support… they clearly fired all of their competent security staff.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
…with no air support…
You have no way of knowing that.

Hey where’s the Beast? Oh right in the middle of a bunch of potential roadblocks to form a kill box. Missed opportunity

When Trump came to my city they shut down all the major roads (interstates, highways) for hours. The whole city was in gridlock. Nobody went anywhere that day. Helicopters were circling overhead. It was a massive headache.

How do the ECM car not interfere with the ID and comms car?
zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Simple physics. Obviously they will not jam the frequencies they use. Which frequencies they use is classified and will most likely change constantly.
Bazoogle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
How much of that applies here since they are overseas?
zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
If I had to guess, the motorcade is always the same. They also transport all of their own vehicles anywhere in the world and never rely on any other security forces.

President Trumap isn’t your average person, he’s leader of a superpower. That requires a certain level of security.
gergolippai@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
knowing now that Trump signed the MoA (or somtehing to that effect) in Versailles, I can’t help seeing the parallels of some other famous capitulations that were signed in/near Versailles :)
