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?

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.

I disagree, the straight of Hormuze will be closed again if he renegs even on the 19 billion of their own money. They will close it again if any condition is not met. The US is out 300 billion and there is now a toll on the straight as well.

JOB WELL DONE MR PRESIDENT!

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

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.

My thoughts, too. The motorcade was designed to protect against attackers with guns, IEDs or an RPG, but 2 autonomous drones would be enough to make that entire circus useless now. Especially with how distinct the Beasts look.

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.

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.
