A convoy of Russian trucks carrying aid for eastern Ukraine has been opened up to journalists at the border.

The Ukrainian government had insisted that inspectors checked the trucks’ cargo, amid fears that they could be carrying military supplies for the rebels - an accusation Russia has rejected.

The BBC’s Steve Rosenberg noted that many of the trucks were “almost empty”.

Well of course the trucks that they allowed to be inspected would be empty. “Nothing to see here!”
 
A truck that was inspected wasn’t full, it must be a conspiracy!

All of the trucks were allowed to be checked at will by journalists at an earlier stop-any vehicles, at will.
 
So why would they have a convoy of almost empty trucks if they want to deliver aide?

They were delivering the trucks themselves.

Reminds me of an incident I heard about years ago, where security officials stopped a truck for inspection. Finding it empty, they let it go.

Only trouble was the driver was stealing the truck.

And if you think that’s a bit silly, years ago I used to work in a building in town. In the foyer there was a book you had to sign in each time you entered the workplace.

One day there was an incident and they decided to check the books to see if they could track the offender.

Trouble was they couldn’t identify which of the seven or eight “D.Ducks” or “M.Mouses” was the guilty party.

Bah! Who needs reason? Delivering empty use is obviously a Russian conspiracy.🤷
 
Maybe they were politicians delivering on their promises… 😃
