At the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, there was a very real concern that mistakes on the part of the US and NATO could lead to escalation and potentially WWIII. At the time, there was a consensus among the more experienced and competent foreign policy experts that the ideal resolution would be giving…

Please, oh enlightened one, explain to us how you know Presidential security better than the Secret Service.

Wait until you find out how they get the limo overseas in the first place. 

Well, the Secret Service determines the President’s security, not the man himself, so it wasn’t dickish. Most other heads of state aren’t also the head of government, and also in direct control of nuclear weapons. And it’s a state funeral, so I have no idea why using the state car is a problem. It’s not like it’s an…

I’m pretty sure the C-17 they’re using to haul the car to and from London is using just a bit more energy than the refrigerator.

A bus full of all the world’s leaders is sort of the beginning of every drugstore Tom Clancy knockoff paperback.

Yea, that’ll teach her!   lol

Talk about a target rich environment, holy shit.

“I’ll put on these aviators and nobody will recognize me!”

Shit headline. Its not the president himself that makes the call on taking the bus or not. There are many things in security that the president isn’t allowed to change. Remember when trump wanted to use his own plane? Also, the blood in the beast is the presidents himself, not just of type. 

In all fairness I don’t think the bus ran between any of her 21 residences. So, she’s just not used to it.

9000% not his call. Although, I bet he woulda fought an agent to get on a train.

But she will next time! That'll teach the old hag. 

Right? I can’t even travel on the same plane with more than three other managers from my company as part of their disaster plan. And I am nowhere near important to the company if something were to happen.

A shuttle crammed with world leaders--with or without the U.S. President--seems like a pretty bad idea in terms of security in general.  Sure, maybe nobody has real beef with the PM of Belgium, but a terrorist attack on (what I presume) a vehicle with a whole gaggle of world leaders would be a big ugly deal.

Do you think the Queen took a fucking shuttle when she visited the US?

Well that’s a no brainer. No US president is going to be allowed to ride in an unarmored bus crammed with group of other world leaders. Don’t have to be Secret Service to figure that one out.

Companies don’t want to spend money on IT security because the CFO’s don’t see a return on investment. They will only spend AFTER an incident has occurred.

Don’t forget attacking bystanders at Cars and Coffee

No dice.
