But would Soviet oil work in short distance American trucks the Soviets used on the few roads they had, and would the oil have to be changed to German oil once the truck crossed the German border (after being transported by boat on the canal system)?German oil isn't as Cyrillic, you need the viscosity. sulphur content and ignition temperature of Cyrillic oils to use the Soviet transport system (a set of facts I just invented)

Asking for a friend, of course.
American trucks could cope with the extremes of Cyrillic and Teutonic oil compositions, that's wot wun the war.But would Soviet oil work in short distance American trucks the Soviets used on the few roads they had, and would the oil have to be changed to German oil once the truck crossed the German border (after being transported by boat on the canal system)?

I would be more than a little surprised if Japan is due east or west of anywhere in the USA. When I flew from London to Anchorage on the way to Narita we flew exactly due north. We live on a globe not a A4 Landscape rectangle that is easy to print.
But what oil do the boats use while they're carrying the trucks?American trucks could cope with the extremes of Cyrillic and Teutonic oil compositions, that's wot wun the war.
I suspect you are like me, I just dont take this discussion seriously at all. The surprise is how many books have been read without learning anything at all.But what oil do the boats use while they're carrying the trucks?
Has he considered that?
I bet he hasn't.
As I said, London and Anchorage Alaska are exactly due north of each other, we live on a globe.Tokyo is at 35° latitude, Los Angeles is at 34° latitude. Plenty of due-East/due-West between Okinawa, Hokkaido, San Diego, and Seattle.

Boats use coal when carrying oil so all the oil gets to the destination.But what oil do the boats use while they're carrying the trucks?

It has a child like innocence about it. The Danube was used as a transport system but it had been for hundreds of years. The cities on the Danube are there because of the Danube, almost always because you could put a bridge there and so you have an intersection for trade. You cant build "Danubes" as a transport system, within the limits of geography you can build canals and with less limits you can build railways. Roads are much less limited and walkways have almost no limits. As with many other discussions here we are just discussing the very basics of geography, parliament or electro magnetic characteristics or any other subject.To be honest, I think junior is loosely paraphrasing and tossing in citations in an attempt to make his statements legitimate.
He clicks the [x] in a wiki artical, grabs the book/author (and sometimes even an accompanying page number) and then posts it in his fantasy rant.
This is a antediluvian, post truth, Faustian pact, debating society nightmare.Boats use coal when carrying oil so all the oil gets to the destination.
Germany has plenty of coal.
Unpowered oil barges towed by coal fired tugs, see, it all works out

I lived there.. GrauGeist is correct.However, they clearly don't realize that to a Californian bearing 090 degrees, Japan is due east...
It's about time someone said it! We were all thinking it.This is a antediluvian, post truth, Faustian pact, debating society nightmare.
Europe didnt need to transport anything until 1939, the whole "thing" about transport was a completely new subject, same for USA and Russia if truth be told. Those stones at Stonehenge just worked their own way across land and into the ground.Boats use coal when carrying oil so all the oil gets to the destination.

I agree with your earlier post, it has thrown up all sorts of interesting info but not from the party that thinks he knows it all.It's about time someone said it! We were all thinking it.
That is why Stonehenge is important, not because humans transported those things from wherever 5,000 years ago, but that the gods of stone persuaded the stones to move themselves, it was the basis of internet, flat earth, no proof required, theory.The things one learns here.
