The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

‘Joe Biden’s Dangerous World’
SNIP
“In the past three years, the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas invaded Israel, China increased its pressure on Taiwan, the China-Russian partnership solidified, Houthi terrorists wreaked havoc on Red Sea shipping, Iran moved closer to obtaining a nuclear weapon, North Korea enhanced its intercontinental missile capacity, China and Russia modernized their nuclear forces, and illegal immigrants flooded the U.S. southern border.

The Biden administration conducted an amateurish withdrawal from Afghanistan that cost the lives of several Americans and many more of our Afghan allies. Biden provided aid to Ukraine and used rhetoric that risked escalating the Ukraine War into a broader European or World War. He conducted a policy toward China that combined “engagement” with a continuation of some of Donald Trump’s more confrontational policies. Biden’s overall Russia policy strengthened the Sino-Russian strategic partnership. His isolated responses to Houthi shipping attacks did nothing to deter those attacks. The administration’s push for a ceasefire in Gaza has hampered Israel’s efforts to defeat Hamas. Its response to Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons was to attempt to resuscitate the flawed nuclear deal. It has pushed for more “arms control” with Russia even as China’s nuclear build-up continues. And it has facilitated rather than prevented the illegal entry of millions into our country.”

A good read
