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.

It might not be especially well sourced, if it's only showing up in Israeli media. Is it showing up in any other international English-language media?

I found one other site that reported "Bibi" pressing Trump to reject a cease fire, but that one referenced the same Times of Israel article I linked to.

This is from the Jerusalem Post, again, throwing buckets of cold water on the idea of a cease fire.

Israeli officials do not expect a ceasefire in Iran any time soon, sources tell 'Post'

With a US deadline approaching, the United States and Iran received the framework of a plan to end their five‑week-old conflict, though Tehran rejected any move to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

A senior Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that Jerusalem did not expect a ceasefire to take shape in the coming days, despite earlier suggestions that such a move could be under discussion.


jpost.com - Iran news

Israel is apparently eager for the war to go on.

There were reports Saudi wanted the war too. Not surprising, considering the record high premium Saudi is demanding for it's crude, which I posted an article about earli8er.

The MSM is doing it's best to hide it, but there is a non-zero possibility that the US is being used by certain foreign entities to advance their own agendas. No-one would want to admit that Trump is a whore, using our guys as mercs. Disturbing, isn't it?
