It's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the yeeeear 🎄🎅
It's time for 2 hours of Putin's squirrely bullshit.
Putin spent the last 5 minutes reaffirming that Coronavirus happened, it's a thing, everybody dealt with it, and when you think about it, it really hasn't been that bad!
Like any good bureaucrat (and make no mistake, Putin is a great bureaucrat) he is filibustering with facts that sound good, while not addressing the bad facts (but waving to the the fact that other fact may exist, but you are really focusing on the wrong thing).
Being in a relationship with this man must be a complete, uninterrupted mindf---
Putin projects mastery of the facts while also delivering it in a boring way so you tune out and say "He seems like he has it." And he does it for everything from agriculture markets to fomenting frozen conflicts -- making it seem like just another boring thing.

If you send goods across a non porous border you need
-lots of paperwork. Filling it in triggers delays.
-trained customs staff. We're short by 50k. That'll cause delays.
- IT systems. Several haven't launched yet. More delays.
This is why there'll be shortages @jbhearn. /1
If you're exporting to EU, in the case of food products (dead or alive) you also need an official veterinarian (that's a thing) working with a certification support officer to deal with the sanitary and phytosanitory checks to generate a European Health Certificate /2
That EHC is then submitted at a border control post and also on the EU import control system. Only then can the truck travel into the EU. /3
Thing is, the importer in the EU will have to input *LOTS* of information into the EU's trade control and expert system (not the same as as the EU import control system) because it's arriving from outside the EU. /4
Alternatively the EU importer can skip all of the admin, fees and taxes triggered by importing from the UK by instead sourcing from a EU based company. That is why brexit will be an economic calamity for the UK; the operational reality is going to trump the economic theory. /5

If you are an EU supporter or a U.K. Remainer then the best thing to do will be to start a rumour, preferably by an expert, that No Deal will lead to food shortages and panic buying. This will ensure it happens and then you can say \u201ctold you so\u201d you silly Brexiteers.
