“We could set up “Berlin Airlift II” if Obama had taken a lesson from the Russian incursion into Georgia in 2008. As it is, if Putin closes the gas lines, we have no way to get ours to Europe.”
Good point. How do you airlift LNG that’s normally delivered by sea-going tankers?
OK, I’m not sure if your post needs a sarcasm tag, or if you believe I’m really that dumb. If the latter, I’ll explain: “Berlin Airlift II” simply was a metaphor for the act helping allies whose daily necessities are being choked off by a hostile power.
In the original Berlin Airlift, it was done with aircraft, but as a principle it could be done by plane, trains, automobiles, space shuttles, or ocean-going tankers, depending on geography and/or the physical nature of the goods being shipped.
