How long should you let your neighbors starve
Before you start killing them for meat?
You would want to harvest them before they are too far gone.
Oh, and how do you stop them
From following the smell of your baking
And stealing all of your supply?
After all, a lotta people have guns and ammo these days
Belarus is known for making heavy trucks and industrial machinery. Just the kind of thing that a transport would pick up.
If you look at the fuel burn efficiency of aircraft since the 1950s you will realize that the economics of air cargo transport have changed drastically. If those Chinese transports have modern engines, wingtip designs, etc. you may simply be seeing them bypass a long and complex rail transport system.
Creativity is the product of an unbalanced mind
Nikola Tesla for example.
Hercules Poirot and Lieutenant Colombo as well.
You are looking at the point in time
When Europe rose up and fought back
Against the Muslim hordes
And pushed them back across the Mediterranean
