How are you going to sail an ocean freighter to Minsk?

You're not. I'm not saying trains aren't important. The same question about trains could be made: how are you going to ship a box of raisin bran to my house by rail? I love trains; they're the fucking best. For land-based shipping, they are the most efficient mechanism by FAR; it's not even a close comparison. But they are absolutely trounced by commercial ocean ships.
