Backpacks...WTF?

[benenglish]

I've seen photographers vests worn covered with NRA, Glock, Colt and other patches.
While useful, we called them 'shoot me first vests".

I once had to share space with the protective detail for the Italian Prime Minister. All those guys whose job didn't require them to stand right next to him were wearing photographer's vests.

With mesh sides.

Putting the Uzis under their arms on obvious, "Look-At-Me!" display.

It was hilarious, the worst case of advertising they were carrying a concealed weapon I've ever seen from someone who's supposed to know better.

Just to look like Putin?

Yes!
I was offered a job to be his body double.
Old, shriveled up, partially bald.
He says I need to work on my accent, told me to drink more vodka, a lot more.
I'm learning how to write in Slav...
Nascar needs to be spelled 'NAZKAЯ'.

benenglish, I asked about a vest, they told me "No need bollet poof vest, we only have calashnikov, very inaccurate, CIA never kill Putin yet."

I'm sure they looked fabulous, tho...

Looks like Secret Service is using Vertx bags.

I hear that Canada sells Putin style yachts now,
Zelenskyy has bought two of them.
Canadians get a lot of stuff from china, so quality is probably not up to Putin's standards.

If scruffy beards and ever-present cigarettes make you look cool, then yeah.

I think they actually were in a contest with the French contingent to see who could smoke more and succeed in getting a lit cigarette into the non-smoking areas.

I hear Putin just sucked Xi’s dick again, so Chinese yachts are up to Putin’s standatds.
BTW, over 90% of all cargo ships in the world are made in China now, while US makes only 0.2%.
Moreover, China manufactures more than 90 percent of all shipping containers and 80 percent of the world's ship-to-shore cranes.
Now, back to bags…

Too many illegals here now, hard to find good ship builders.
That's why the US navy just scrapped all the newest design 'Modular' war ships, they were anything but that, and worked poorly at what they were supposed to do.
Putin takes the russian phruck-ups, puts a crew into them, and send them out to be sunk by a country that doesn't even have a navy...

 

[surevaliance]

Yep. There are 24 disabled Rissian ships and one submarine.

This one is exactly like mine.

:sarcasm:
Those Chinese made products and shipping containers are good and strong too. They are made of the strongest alloy known to the PRC.
Chinesium as we call it, is almost as strong as standard tin foil. Products made from it are very durable and have a life expectancy of at least a few minutes.

That’s the guy on the left who wears Under Armour.
The guy on the right has a shoulder strap with Vertx logo across his chest.
