Here's a higher quality video of a different Kadyrov motorcade.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk1adOy6d1c

No automatic gunfire though. But this one has 6 minutes of cars going past.

I can confirm that just when you think it's over, those are the crappier cars and it's still the motorcade.

To Steve's point - can you imagine being so self-important that you have 100 cars escort you? Can you imagine debasing yourself by being the driver of some psychopath's 100th escort car?

Is this a good time to be a manufacturer of siren units for cars?

If we had Steve's immigration safety board, would they notice any problems with immigrants from countries where the police fire their weapons out the window?

P.S. In Tyler Cowen's Beantopia, there will be a certain number of promising new jobs as the drivers of 200th-300th cars in motorcades.

And look for the security force's union to demand passengers riding shotgun, if there aren't already. You could be looking at a good 500 people in motorcades as the trend continues - two infantry companies!

All of this for a little Russian republic of less than 2 million people. Chechnya has fewer people than the greater Kansas City metro.

Maybe the mayor of Kansas City should have a motorcade?

I don't see why anyone with man-on-the-street name recognition should travel anywhere with less than an infantry platoon.

Kadyrov has about 2x the motorcade of Obama in a country with 1/150th the population.

So Chechens must be 300x Chechenier than USians.

Btw, one of the hazards of being the driver of the last car in the entourage is being hit by falling bullets from preceding cars (assuming the cars proceed in a straight line).

You can spend days on you-tube watching Russian mafia driving cars, I believe the record is +125 cars. Actually kind of strange that noone takes out these sitting ducks.

~100 Cars = ~400 gunmen. It's not a motorcade, it's a motorized battalion. And it's justified considering what Basayev et al had been able to throw at them.

To be fair who would care to kill POTUS? What difference would it make? What's the marginal utility of adding another car to Obama's motorcade against the likes of Squeaky Fromme or John Hinckley?

Ahah! That one pulled over early because they knew that the smarter rubes would be looking for it. Shades of the story where different people get on and off a bus at each bus stop and at the end, one is asked "How many stops did they make?"

The point is that you don't know which car The Checheniest is riding in (driving?) and which three others are carrying his doubles so you don't know which to pot with an RPG or slag with a 12.7mm. The big speeding swerving motorcade of tinted-window SUV's and sturdy sedans is standard war-zone stuff, as well as being a hell of a lot of fun from the inside.

It's not as if POTUS cavalcades are quiet things. Tens of cars, helicopters in the air, snipers on the roofs. Police cars blocking the streets... Over a thousand people involved just to get these replaceable nitwits from A to B. And still pretty easy to blow their presidential brains out. Remember Mandela's funeral?

That's because Chechens never had cities. Smallish villages in the mountains. Grozny's population before the first Chechen war was actually majority Russian. They were majority civilian casualties too, having nowhere to flee.

When Reagan visited the University of South Carolina in September 83' they asked for volunteers to drive cars in the motorcade at the student union or whatever. My father was selected, never mentioned how many cars were in it. He did remember several men in surrounding cars discreetly toting automatic weapons though, and a military helicopter trailing the route.

"while steering with your left elbow and swigging vodka from the bottle..."

Caucasus natives aren't really into vodka. Georgians, who are Christians, make and drink wine. They're not known for alcoholism though. In some ways these people are like southern Italians, with a similar attitude to drink.

"Steve Grozny is Russian for terrible (look up Ivan the)."

The word grozny means menacing, severe, fear-inducing. It's derived from the Russian word for thunder. Ivan Grozny was really Ivan the Thunderous. The English translation of his nickname was meant to evoke images of terrible wrath, not of poor quality of government. The city of Grozny was founded as a Russian fortress in a hostile land, so its name was meant to inspire fear.

Other way round methinks. Europeans have (or had before they lost group identity) a group synergy bonus through improved levels of co-operation. This makes (made) them less effective fighters man for man but more effective the larger the scale.

From your screen name I'm sure you meant founded by Cossacks, not cassocks, which are priestly garb.

Chechens are brutal twits.

Is it a good or a bad thing that some of our women choose to breed with these morons? If you look at modern Maori, they are clearly a mixture between Polynesian and the lowest elements in white society. Through their brown complexions, you can see the features of the kind of white people who appear of the Jeremy Kyle Show.

We will end up with a giant mixed race undercaster, but the whites who are left behind might be smarter? I don't know.

Does this account for high Jewish IQ's? The dumber one's married out.
