Why Does US President Travel With So Many Soldiers and cars To other Countries? by God1000(op): 5:39pm On Jan 27, 2022
We all know that US president is one of the most protected world leaders on earth, he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces.

US air force uses C-17 transport plane to carry the presidential limousine called the beast with several other vehicles to where he's going ahead of his arrival.

The Beast has 8-inch armor plating and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, and Kevlar reinforcement for the giant Goodyear tires that are also run-flat. The cabin is sealed for the outside world for protection against a chemical attack and special foam surrounds the fuel tank in case of an impact.

Do you know any other world leader that travels with such large number of security men?

Can our own president travel to US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?

yeah, because they are challenging US world order and supremacy.

America doesn't want a multipolar world which is what Russia and China are after

its preference and that is how america decide to protect their own.

Now that his motorcade has every security he needs, infact his own car has sample of his blood and with a push of a button, the car is surrounded by a high voltage electricity that can shock you to death if u dare touch the car, there is bomb detector among one of the convoys, there are powerbikes that could easily reach particular areas and advice of impending dangers.

I don't think u will have such a motorcade and not travel with it

America knows she has a lot of enemies. America has meddled in the affairs of so many nations and fought so many wars with several countries. Many countries are barely tolerating America. The day America falls, she will fall hard and America's enemies will laugh at her.

The country he visits do provide the security for him, he has his own special team that travels with him but not armed personelles

it cost $200,000 to fly air force one per hour.

I think the total cost of flying US president and transporting several vehicles using C-17 transport planes will be higher than $5 million

President Xi is even more powerful.

He has unfettered powers and the economic might to back up his actions.

The US president on the other hand can barely get anything done. If a federal judge doesn't strike down his order, Congress or the Supreme court does.

And if that's not enough he can be voted out in 4 years.
