| #11 I dunno - a permanent lair in a static volcano seems more clever...unless they have balloons. D'oh! |

| #10 Don't get me wrong, an armored train sounds pretty cool and every aspiring super-villain should have one. But an armored train is slow and obvious. And Russia is really big. It almost seems like misdirection. "There goes Mr Bigstuff in his fancy-ass train again." In the meantime, some guy slips out the back unnoticed into a black Mercedes and heads for a military helicopter. |

| #9 Vova just prefers the view of the Russian countryside from a windowless armored carriage car. |

| #7 I guess he's been watching Kim. Kim Jong Un rode his bulletproof armored train from North Korea to Russia's extreme east for his first meeting with Vladimir Putin |

| #6 Paste Vlad's face on there, substitute slavs and rus for the folks by the tracks and the picture still works just fine |

| #5 "Though West's yellow press may be jaundiced, My railways are best, yes, and strongest! This camouflaged car That conveys me to war With my tables is also the longest." |

| #4 I remember using up all my Strelnikov jokes early last year when the Russians lost another armored train. Oh well. |

| #3 I guess he's been watching Dr. Zhivago and channeling Strelnikov |

| #2 Cause armored train cars don't look any different from typical passenger cars. |
