Considering they would certainly not be able to move supplies unopposed, it is a bit of a mystery. You can move only so much by air, and air freight is extremely vulnerable to attack. By sea? They'd certainly be blockaded - would they risk a naval war with the west (which they would certainly lose)? I think not. By land? Pull the other one.
Perhaps they've mastered teleportation.

They'd have plenty of fuel. Too bad you can't eat it.
