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.

This statement isn’t accurate, and no matter how many times you repeat it it still won’t be.

Because: 1) that's not what I said, and 2) it doesn't require "indefinitely". It just requires "long enough", which they absolutely can do so long as they get materiel.

“Long enough”? They need dudes. More guns. All of it. Putin has Norks willing to crawl through pipelines and die of methane poisoning.

goal. This war is no longer of that style. It's closer to 'Nam.

It most certainly does not. Vietnam featured hit and run guerrilla warfare until the North’s invasion at the end. This resembles more of World War I with a war of attrition along a fixed set of front lines.

Your historical analogy is wrong, and so therefore is your analysis.
