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.

What the media doesn't understand (to be fair, few do) is that the focus is China.
We're in a race to re-arm and move them into a position where they believe that war with us isn't something they should even entertain.


China is a serious threat, but not an existential threat, as long as we prepare - you are actually more of an existential threat right now. We have to waste time dealing with you tearing down the government, an extreme focus on immigrants and what appears to be a force that may be turning brutish, but the continuous onslaught combined with the grift, directly ordering investigations, returning gunboat diplomacy and spheres of influence, obsessions with Greenland, oil and trying to justify it all by creating an existential threat when these are the normal hard tussles of a superpower and we aren't throwing our democracy out the window for that.
