Switzerland isn't in the EU. This isn't an EU centered protest.

D, A and CH blockade will take out any East European supply. Very few fast East-West corridors available. Will cause disenchantment from the east bloc wrt to the EU. 3 Seas Initiative is a good exit option, IMO.

Rotterdam/Antwerp corridor through mid-northern Germany (NL to D via Venlo) has never been closed,, even when all the D borders were closed during the height of the lockdowns.

I think a lot of the UK transport issues are from the UK Covid tracking app. Foreign drivers don't want any part of that shit. Just flew out of the UK to Central Europe. News hit late Friday afternoon and the gas lines started immediately after the first reports.

Boris says plenty of oil, but I think that would be best determined by tanker activity. They'd be anchored off the coast waiting for filled tanks to empty. More likely is a scenario where oil futures are going to skyrocket and shipping companies want to hold on deliveries until the price rises, I think.

Only way to stop the bullshit now is to cut off supply so people demand the government be thrown out. Elections fucked, courts fucked, no other option.

US truckers may have to step up and follow Central Europe.

>If Switzerland and Austria are blocked, the north / south connection is also blocked

Yes.

Mentioned the northern east-west corridor Antwerp/Rotterdam through D because everything goes tits up fast if that's shut down.

Truckers just need to block a few autobahn intersections in the Ruhr region and they'll shut it all down. Eastern Europe major fucked.

Figure they'll block Innsbruck-Munich-Mannheim, and they won't need much, to block a Paris bound workaround and block Muehlhausen to take care of a Lyon route.

Any fast east-west travel through D is very limited. I would concentrate on that. Don't need much, and won't take long. It will go to major suck level fast. Pols will have to give in. IMO.

Go from Northern D to NL often. Only on a Sunday. Rest areas are crazy, but at least the roads are drivable.

They were saying trucker facilities/accommodations suck in the UK. Don't think D is much better. Big reason for driver shortage. Pay sucks and accommodations, too. One other thing mentioned is no driver training under the lockdowns. You can't learn to handle a rig on Zoom. Need the ORT.

>they are in serious doubt that they will get their way

Shutdowns will take out Bidan by public outcry.

Turtle has leverage up the ass, but is too chickenshit to use it. Trump posted that concept today.

Have to hope there's enough Trump boys in ranks to to fuck this up so we get to the end game faster.
