The royal family has asked world leaders to travel by commercial flight and take a chartered bus to the queen’s funeral
There is no way POTUS is flying anywhere not AF1. But how do they expect POTUS to take a bus without the secret service detail and obviously having the football somewhere else
Imagine having POTUS riding a fricking bus by himself while Russia is invading Ukraine and China’s balls are itching to invade Taiwan. Seems like it would be the perfect moment for a first strike
What are the security implications here?
The security implications are that Biden won't attend the funeral if he can't fly AF1 and get a police escort anywhere he goes.
Most world leaders don't have nearly the level of security detail the US president does, so the request is more directed towards them.
As says, the President simply won't go if they're not allowed to undergo the regular security procedures.
Anyone can arrive however they choose.
Why didn't they say take a train if available all the way through the Chunnel, or electric car as those are better options?
The US has air bases in England (not sure if any air strips are still in Scotland) so the President would land at one of those.
>bus as world leaders' transport
surely no one is going to make a gamer move right?
>asked world leaders to travel by commercial flight and take a chartered bus to the queen’s funeral
what a lolcow family.
Send Barack.
This, pick an ex-president who isn't senile, give them a big fat per diem and two secret service buddies to fill the row on their flight, done and done.
at that point just buy out the whole flight
>pick an ex-president
I know of someone who really want to-
>who isn't senile
Sorry Trump, you can't go...
Am I on Reddit? I can feel the smug redditor aura from here.
>Am I on Reddit?
Yes. There's no difference anymore
Go the frick back
>getting upset about the orange man
I can only imagine the podium speech about he knows what it feels like for a country to have a great leader stolen from them
>The royal family has asked world leaders to travel by commercial flight and take a chartered bus to the queen’s funeral
What? Why? So that the funeral can be for 2 heads of state and not 1?
>What are the security implications here?
Do you get a corgi or to play with a corgi? I'd murder a person with a halbred for a corgi.
By buses they mean minicoaches chartered by the police and running with Special Escort Group cops like pic related, not 'take the no. 19 and get off at Green Park Station'
I think that's a fair compromise
>The royal family has asked world leaders to travel by commercial flight and take a chartered bus to the queen’s funeral
>this just in, the Romanian president has been pickpocketed by Romanians at kings cross station
what happens if putin nooks the funeral?
>what happens if putin nooks the funeral?
absolute hilarity
It would be extremely painful.
We better start learning Russian
"Has asked" is not the same as "demands". The security implications of poor English comprehension are terrible, as usual.
>But how do they expect POTUS to take a bus without the secret service detail and obviously having the football somewhere else
Source?
Havent care about you guys for a while.
We clearly don't want other world leaders there
Biden will travel by his usual forms of transport and they have already rehearsed his movements with his armoured car.
Other bollocks is to placate the effing greens.
