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.

Trump's goal is to spread a thousand points of darkness. [my bold]

"The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.” Those were the words of President Woodrow Wilson in April 1917 on the eve of America’s entry into the first world war.

More than a century later, Donald Trump has embarked upon a very different global mission. The US president is making the world safe for autocracy.

Trump’s assertion that Ukraine was responsible for its own invasion and that Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a dictator was a clarifying moment.

By aligning himself so perfectly with Kremlin propaganda, the US president demonstrated that Trump’s America is perfectly happy to see Russia win this war and crush Ukraine.
