Leaving aside the issue that trucks can't move stuff across oceans, how do you get the extra trucks to where they are needed?

- danuker 5y agoAs a Romanian I visited Lviv a few years ago. There were some disaster potholes right past the border. It took 1 hour to go through say, 10km with a small car. Unless those roads get fixed, I expect only military or otherwise rugged trucks to be able to pass quickly. Otherwise, you'd need a lot of trucks to get a significant flow of goods.

- bombela 5y agoAh, looks barely worse than roads in the Silicon Valley. Maybe that's why everybody drives SUV and pickup truck over here.
- paganel 5y agoThat's why the Russians de facto imposing a blockade on Odessa and generally speaking on the Ukrainian ports at the Black Sea is so important to them. Also Romanian in here, from the Southern part of the country where we happen to grow lots of wheat. We're also close by the Danube, which helps a lot with transport (companies like Cargill have invested massively during the last decade in here).
- ncmncm 5y agoCargill is in the running for world's most evil corporation. Competition is stiff and enthusiastic. Nestle? BASF/Monsanto? Exxon? CCP? Halliburton? We might not recognize the name of the leader.
- paganel 5y agoProbably helps that they're in private hands, which I don't know how they managed to do for so long.
